Pete asks Buzz to make a triangular truss with sides that are 5 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet. Is this enough information for Buzz to

make a truss with the correct size and shape? Explain

Answer: Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the criteria of congruence for triangles is SSS, this means that when we know that two triangles have all the same side lengths, the triangles are congruent. This would mean that all the triangles with the same side lengths are rotations or translations of the same triangle.

Then, when we know the measures of the 3 sides of a triangle, we have only one possible triangle to make, which would mean that Buzz has enough information to make a truss with the correct size and shape.

What is the area of the squares with sides (2x-3)feet?​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

4x^2 -12x +9   ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = (2x-3) ^2

A = (2x-3) (2x-3)

FOIL

first 2x*2x =4x^2

outer 2x (-3) = -6x

inner -3*2x = -6x

last -3*-3 = 9

Add them together

4x^2 -6x-6x +9

Combine like terms

4x^2 -12x +9

The area is 4x^2 -12x +9 ft^2

The functions f and g are defined by f: x = 4 - x and g: x = hx² + k. If the composite function gf is given by gf: x + 2x² - 16x
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4-x

g(x) = hx^{2}+k

g(f(x)) = 2x^{2}-16x+26

so put  f(x)  in g(x)

h(4-x)^{2}+k

h((4-x)(4-x) + k

h(x^{2}-8x+16)+k

if h = 2 , then

2x^{2}-16x+32 + k

and we want 26  instead of 32 so subtract 6 so K = (-6)

2x^{2}-16x+32 + (-6)

2x^{2}-16x+32 - 6

2x^{2}-16x+26

h=2

k=(-6)

Twelve cans of peaches are placed into each box. Write a function rule for the number of boxes needed for c cans. How many boxes
Mars2501 [29]

C = # of cans

b = # of boxes                          

C  |  B    

12 |  1

24 | 2

36 | 3


12b = C

12b/12 = 1440/12

b = 120 boxes

for 1440 cans.

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?{2, 3, square root of 13} {5, 5, 2, square root of 10} { 5, 1
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

{2, 3, √13}  

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the third side (Pythagoras).

Let's check each set of sides in turn.

A. {2, 3, √13}

2² + 3² = 4 + 9 = 13

(√13)² = 13

This is a right triangle.

B. {5, 5, 2, √10}

This is a quadrilateral (four sides).

C. {5, 12, 15}

5² + 12² = 25 +144 = 169

15² = 225

This is not a right triangle.

Find the solution to the system of equations algebraically. SHOW ALL WORK FOR FULL CREDIT! x+y=-6 xy=-7
Mekhanik [1.2K]
You can solve this by substitution: 

x + y = -6
y = -6-x
Substitute for y in  xy = -7:-
x(-6 - x) = -7
-x^2 - 6x = -7

x^2 + 6x - 7 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 1) = 0

so x = -7, 1

To find the values of y plug  these va;ues of x into the equation x + y = -6:-
when x = -7,  y = -6 + 7 = 1
when x =  1, y = -6 - 1 =  -7

so answer is  x = -7 and y = 1
  and              x = 1 and y = -7
