Answer:
Solution 2. A right triangle is formed with the bottom of the flagpole, the snapped part, and the ground. One leg is of length $1 ...
Missing: picture way barely
Step-by-step explanation:
A flagpole is originally $5$ meters tall. A hurricane snaps the flagpole at a point $x$ meters above the ground so that the upper part, still attached to the stump, touches the ground $1$ meter away from the base. What is $x$?
$\text{(A) } 2.0 \qquad \text{(B) } 2.1 \qquad \text{(C) } 2.2 \qquad \text{(D) } 2.4 \qquad \text{(E) } 2.5$
Solution 1
The broken flagpole forms a right triangle with legs $1$ and $x$, and hypotenuse $5-x$. The Pythagorean theorem now states that $1^2 + x^2 = (5-x)^2$, hence $10x = 24$, and $x=\boxed{2.4}$.
(Note that the resulting triangle is the well-known $5-12-13$ right triangle, scaled by $1/5$.)
Solution 2
A right triangle is formed with the bottom of the flagpole, the snapped part, and the g
In a quadratic function, y = a(x²) the smaller the coefficient "a", the larger is the parabola:
From widest to narrowest:
1) y=1/3x² (Widest)
2) y= -1/2x² (Wider)
3) y=-9x² (narrowest)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem
The value of x represent the radius of the circle
so
Applying the Pythagoras theorem in the right triangle of the figure, you can find the radius of the circle O
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
square root both sides
Answer:
X=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(2,1), (-2,-1)
slope(m) = (-1-1) / (-2 - 2) = -2/-4 = 1/2
parallel lines will have the same slope
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/2
(-4,8)...x = -4 and y = 8
now sub and find b, the y int
8 = 1/2(-4) + b
8 = -2 + b
8 + 2 = b
10 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 10 <==
