Answer:

<u>The mirror is 20/3 of feet, which is about 6.7 feet, from the basketball goal.</u>

Explanation:

The figure attached represents the situation.

The triangle on the left and the triangle on the right are similar triangles because they are right triangles and the marked angles are congruent.

The distance between the mirror and the basketball goal is represented by the unknown x.

By similarity:

$10/6=x/4$

Solving:

$x=40\times 10/6=40/6=20/3$

Thus, the mirror is 20/3 of feet, which is about 6.7 feet, from the basketball goal.

What is the measure of X?

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total angles in a triangle is 180° so in order to find the value of x, you have to substract 60° and 80° from 180° :

$60 + 80 + x = 180$

$140 + x = 180$

$x = 180 - 140$

$x = 40$

What are the approximate solutions of 4x2 + 3 = −12x to the nearest hundredth?

Gwar [14]

First
$4x^{2} + 12x + 3 = 0$
determine if this equation were factorable, it's not for this one
so I use quadratic formula, try to search the formula online

$x1 = \frac{-12 + \sqrt{(12)^{2} - 4*4*3} } {2*4} = \frac{-12 + 4\sqrt{6} }{8} = \frac{4(-3 + \sqrt{6}) }{8} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{6}}{2} = - 0.28$
$x2 = \frac{-12 - \sqrt{(12)^{2} - 4*4*3} } {2*4} = \frac{-12 - 4\sqrt{6} }{8} = \frac{4(-3 - \sqrt{6}) }{8} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{6}}{2} = - 2.72$

<span>x ≈ −2.72 and x ≈ −0.28 is the solution</span>

Which expression represents the distance between −14.6 and −5.2 on the number line?

nignag [31]

The correct answer is D.) |−14.6 − (−5.2)|

This is the case because we are first subtracting the value of the two numbers from each other. Then we're taking the absolute value so we can find distance, which is always expressed in a positive number.
