Given  that the two watchtowers spotted fire in the distance and watch tower 2 was 27 miles from the fire. Assuming that the fire is in the middle of both watch towers, then the distance between the two watch towers will be given by:
distance=[distance of fire from watch tower 1]+[distance of fire from watch tower 2]
=27+27
=53 miles

If c is the measure of hypotenuse, find the missing measure of the side of the right triangle: a = 8, b = _______, c = 17.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: b = 15, the perimeter is 40, and the area is 60.

Step-by-step explanation: First we need to find b. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know what 8^2 + b^2 = 17^2. This is the same as 64 + b^2 = 289. Subtract 64 from each side and we get b^2 = 225, which happens to be 15^2, so b=15. Now that we have b, we can add 8 + 15 + 17 to get the perimeter, 40. The area comes from 1/2*base*height, so 1/2 * 8 * 15. The area of the triangle is 60.

What is the standard form of the ellipse equation
vlabodo [156]

Answer: <em>The correct answer is in the first option.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of an Ellipse

\dfrac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } =1\\\\25x^{2}  - 150x + 9y^{2}  = 0\\\\\text {Let's \: perform \: the \: transformations:}\\\\\dfrac{25x^{2} }{25 \cdot 9} -\dfrac{150x}{25 \cdot 9} +\dfrac{9y^{2} }{25 \cdot 9} =0\\\\\dfrac{x^{2} }{3^{2} } -\dfrac{6x}{3^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{5^{2} } =0\\\\\dfrac{x^{2} -6x}{3^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{5^{2} } +\dfrac{3^{2} }{3^{2} } -\dfrac{3^{2} }{3^{2} } =0\\\\\dfrac{x^{2} -6x+3^{2} }{3^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{5^{2} } =\dfrac{3^{2} }{3^{2} }

\dfrac{(x-3)^{2} }{3^{2} } +\dfrac{y^{2} }{5^{2} } =1

If the line joining the points (2,y) and (4,6) has the slope -3/2 find the value of y​
Yanka [14]

Answer: y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

\frac{-3}{2} =\frac{6-y}{4-2}

-6=2(6-y)

-6=12-2y

2y=18

y=9
