Answer:

The diagonal of a non-regulation tennis court = 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

The tennis court is like a rectangle.

We can consider the court as made of two right angled triangle

<u>To find the length of diagonal of court</u>

Here base = 15 feet and height = 20 feet

Diagonal or hypotenuse can be written as,

Diagonal ² = Base² + Height²

= 15² + 20²

= 225 + 400

= 625

Diagonal = √625 = 25 feet

Therefore the diagonal of a non-regulation tennis court = 25 feet

Answer:

25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically that non-regulation tennis court is a rectangle. You want to know the length of the diagonal. If you draw it on paper, you'll see that this then become 2 triangles... of which you have 2 sides, and are seeking the hypotenuse. So....

H² = A² + B²

H² = 20² + 15² = 400 + 225 = 625

H = 25 feet.

Olenka [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question you have t the square of the differences.

So this means that (x-3)^2= x^2-9x+9

Next youmultiply 3 on both sides which says…

x^2-9x+9=27

x^2-9x=18

So, x equals

9/2+3/2 square root 17

9/2-3/2 square root 17

Answer:

$\boxed{x - y = -2\sqrt{7}}$

Given:

$x + y = 4 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 22 \\ \\ {x}^{4} = {y}^{4} - 176 \sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= > {x}^{4} = {y}^{4} - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > {x}^{4} - {y}^{4} = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > {( {x}^{2}) }^{2} - { ({y}^{2}) }^{2} = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > ( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} )( {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} ) = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > ( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}) (x + y)(x - y) = - 176 \sqrt{?} \\ \\ = > 22 \times 4(x - y) = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > 88(x - y) = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > x - y = - \frac{176 \sqrt{7} }{88} \\ \\ = > x - y = - 2 \sqrt{7}$
