Use cosine rule:

c²=b²+a²-2ba cosC

Right triangle = 90 degrees
cosine 90 degrees = 0

c²=28²+15²-2×28×15×0
c²=28²+15²
c=√1009
c=31.8 in

How do you subtract fractions with different denominators (I completely forgot)

Ghella [55]

Answer:

multiply them by a a number that allows the denominators to be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

example

1/2-1/6

I would multiply 1/2 by 3 to get 3/6 which i could then subtract from 1/6

3/6-1/6 = 2/6

A golfer hits a ball from a starting elevation of 2 feet with a velocity of 70 feet per second down to a green with an elevation

ikadub [295]

Answer:

4.50 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the ball is represented by the following equation:

$h(t) = 2+70t-16t^2$ (1)

where

h(t) is the elevation at time t

2 ft is the initial elevation at t = 0

+70 ft/s is the initial vertical velocity

$-32 ft/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

The green is located at an elevation of -7 feet, so the ball lands on the green when

h(t) = -7

Substituting into (1)

$-7=2+70t-16t^2$

And re-arranging we get

$16t^2-70t-9=0$

This is a second-order equation in the form

$at^2+bt+c=0$

which has solutions

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ (2)

Here we have:

a = 16

b = -70

c = -9

Substituting into (2) we find the solutions:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{70\pm \sqrt{(-70)^2-4(16)(-9)}}{2(16)}$

The two solutions are:

t = 4.50 s

t = -0.125 s

The second solution is negative, and since negative time has no physical meaning, the only correct solution is

t = 4.50 s

A picture frame is 9 inches long and 6 inches wide. It can display a picture 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. What is the area o

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

30 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the entire frame using length times height. 9*6 is 54 inches squared. Then, find the area of the middle space the same way. 6*4 is 24 inches squared. Lastly, subtract the middle from the entire frame's area. 54-24 is 30 inches squared.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$187.74\:\mathrm{cm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by $l\cdot w$ . Therefore, we can set up the following inequality:

$l\cdot 16 \leq 3,003.84$ .

Solving this inequality, we have:

$l \leq 187.74$ .

Therefore, the largest length Carmen's painting can be is $\fbox{$187.74\:\mathrm{cm}$}$ .
