What is the value of k?

Mathematics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

k=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have got a right triangle LNO with sides = m,4 and 8

By Pythagorean theorem

m^2=4^2 +8^2

Or m^2 = 80  ... i

IN triangle NOM, 4^2 +k^2 = l^2

i.e. 16+k^2 = l^2... i

In triangle LNM, m^2+l^2 = (8+k)^2

Substitute for m^2 as 80,

i.e. 80+l^2 = 64+k^2 +16k  ... iii

From i, l^2 = 16+k^2

Substitute in iii

80+16+k^2 = 64+k^2 +16k

16k = 32 or k =2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan A = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{7}{8} , then

∠ A = tan^{-1} (\frac{7}{8} ) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )

The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then

∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°

∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )

∠ B = 49°

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )

AB = \sqrt{113} ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

A rectangular box with an open top has a length of x feet, a width of y feet, and a height of z feet. it costs $4.20 per square
ozzi

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that:

-The length is x feet.

- The width is y feet.

- The height is z feet.

2. The box has one base. The cost of the base is:

c1=4.20xy

3. It has four sides. The cost of the sides are:

c2=2(0.75yz)+2(0.75xy)\\ c2=1.5yz+1.5xy

The answer is: The total cost is c=c1+c2\\ c=4.20xy+1.5yz+1.5xy

please answer asap! A couple plans to have 5 children. The gender of each child is equally likely. Design a simulation involving
dimulka [17.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.
