What is the slant height x of this square pyramid? (Express your answer in radical form.)

This is a 30,60,90° triangle where the hypotenuse is equal to 4 meters and the slant height is opposite the 60° angle

The ratios of the sides and their opposite angle for this type of triangle are:

1,30°, √3, 60°, and 2, 90° so the relationship we need is:

x/4=√3/2 multiply both sides by 4

x=2√3

A blank is a unit rate with a denominator of 1 unit. What is the the blank?

Bumek [7]

A unit rate is a ratio that has a denominator of 1. A unit rate is also called a unit ratio. (They mean the same thing.)

\frac{5}{4} and 3:8 and 40\mbox{ to }10 are ratios, but they are not unit ratios.

\frac{1.25}{1} and 0.375:1 and 4\mbox{ to }1 are unit ratios.

Any ratio can be converted into a unit ratio by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the denominator.

In a triangle ABC, measure of angle B is 90 degrees. AB is 3x-2 units and BC is x+3. If the area of the triangle is 17 sq cm, fo

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$x=\frac{8}{3}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the right triangle ABC is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(AB)(BC)$

we have

$A=17\ cm^2$

$AB=(3x-2)\ cm$

$BC=(x+3)\ cm$

substitute the values

$17=\frac{1}{2}(3x-2)(x+3)$

$34=(3x-2)(x+3)$

$34=3x^2+9x-2x-6$

$3x^2+7x-6-34=0$

$3x^2+7x-40=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$3x^2+7x-40=0$

so

$a=3\\b=7\\c=-40$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-7(+/-)\sqrt{7^{2}-4(3)(-40)}} {2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-7(+/-)\sqrt{529}} {6}$

$x=\frac{-7(+/-)23} {6}$

$x=\frac{-7(+)23} {6}=\frac{16}{6}=\frac{8}{3}$

$x=\frac{-7(-)23} {6}=-5$

therefore

The solution is

$x=\frac{8}{3}\ cm$
