What is the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
kozerog [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If the upper triangle has a right angle at Island C, we need only use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x:

(10 mi)^2 + (20 mi)^2 = x^2, so that

x^2 = 100 mi^2 + 400 mi^2 = 500 mi^2, which reduces to

x = +10√5 mi

Note that the shortest side (10 mi) is adjacent to a 30 degree angle.  Thus, the upper triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, meaning that the Pythagorean Theorem DOES apply here.

Next time, please incude ALL of the verbal instructions.  Thank you.

Answer:

Numeric expressions apply operations to numbers. For example, 2(3 + 8) is a numeric expression. Algebraic expressions include at least one variable and at least one operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). For example, 2(x + 8y) is an algebraic expression.

Two patrol boats leave Cape May at the same time, the same speed, but on different bearings. One has bearing 41°45
VMariaS [17]

Based on the information given, the computation shows that the distance between them is 2.47 miles.

<h3>Solving the distance.</h3>

Since one has bearing 41°45', this will be: = 41° + (45/60) = 41° + 0.75 = 41.75°.

The other has bearing 59°13'. This will be:

= 59° + (13/60) = 59° + 0.22 = 59.22°.

The difference of the angles will be:

= 59.22° - 41.75°

= 17.47°

Let the distance between them be represented by c. Therefore, we'll use cosine law to solve the question. This will be:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos 17.47°

c² = 20² + 20² - (2 × 20 × 20 × 0.19)

c² = 6.07459

c = 2.47

A water tank is box shaped with a square base of side length 5 ft. The tank is fed by a pipe above and drains from its base. In
adell [148]

Answer:

dy/dt = - (1/5) ft/s = - 0.2 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

L = 5 ft

Qin = 25 ft³/s

Qout = 30 ft³/s

h = 10 ft

dy/dt = ?

We can apply the relation

ΔQ = Qint - Qout = 25 ft³/s - 30 ft³/s

⇒ ΔQ = - 5 ft³/s

Then we use the formula

Q = v*A

where Q = ΔQ, A = L²  is the area of square base and v = dy/dt  is the rate of change in the depth of the solution in the tank

⇒ ΔQ = (dy/dt)*L²

⇒ dy/dt = ΔQ/L²

⇒ dy/dt = (- 5 ft³/s)/(5 ft)²

⇒ dy/dt = - (1/5) ft/s = - 0.2 ft/s

If 3t - 7 = 5t, then 6t = <br> A. 21 <br> B. -7 <br> C. -21<br> D. -42
podryga [215]

Answer:

C. -21 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for t. Isolate the variable t in the first equation, then use the number gotten to solve the second equation.

3t - 7 = 5t

First, subtract 3t from both sides

3t (-3t) - 7 = 5t (-3t)

-7 = 5t - 3t

-7 = 2t

Isolate the variable (t). Divide 2 from both sides

(-7)/2 = (2t)/2

t = -7/2

t = -3.5

Plug in -3.5 for t in the second equation

6(t) =

6(-3.5) =

6(-3.5) = -21

C. -21 is your answer
