Two congruent sides of kite ABCD have lengths on 2x+8 and 7x-12. What is the length of one of these two sides?

1 answer:

5 0

So this... is a slightly complicated problem you have to set up an equation.... so 7x-12=2x+8 you subtract 2x and add 12 to both side so now you have 5x=20 now divide both sides by 5 now you have x= 4 so plug it into the problems for the sides 2(4)+8= 14 is the length of one side and 7(4)-12=16 so 16 is the length for the other now you just pick the measurement to use hope this helped!!!!! have an amazing day!

Answer:

$a = - 7$

$a = - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+4) {}^{2} - 3 {}^{2} \\ a {}^{2} + 8a + 16 - 9 \\ a {}^{2} + 8a + 7 \\ a {}^{2} + a + 7a + 7 \\ a(a + 1) + 7(a + 1) \\ (a + 7)(a + 1) \\ a + 7 = 0 \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: a + 1 = 0 \\ a = - 7 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: a = - 1$

Estimate the slope of the tangent line of the function y(t)=\sqrt{(3t+1} at the point t=2.

Korvikt [17]

Answer: 0.567

Step-by-step explanation:

$y(t)=\sqrt{3t+1} \\\\y'(t)=\dfrac{3}{2\sqrt{3t+1} } \\\\y'(2)=\dfrac{3}{2\sqrt{3*2+1} } =\dfrac{3\sqrt{7} }{14} =0,56694670951384084082177480435127\approx{0.567}$
