Fourteen decreased by twice a number equals -32

1 answer:

3 0

Your equation is 14-2x=-32

Step 1- subtract 14 on both sides

then your equation is 2x=-46

Step 2- divide 2 on both sides

then you get x= 23

x=23

Un triángulo rectángulo tiene un área de 84 pies2 y una hipotenusa de 25 pies de largo. ¿Cuáles son las longitudes de sus otros

Answer:

7 feet and 24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle, the hypotenuse is 25 feet long. The area of this triangle is 84 square feet.

Let x feet and y feet be the lengths of triangle's legs.

By the Pythagorean theorem,

$x^2+y^2=25^2\\ \\x^2+y^2=625$

The area of the right triangle is half the product of its legs, thus

$84=\dfrac{1}{2}xy\\ \\xy=168$

Solve the system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x^2+y^2=625\\ \\xy=168\end{array}\right.$

From the second equation:

$x=\dfrac{168}{y}$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$\left(\dfrac{168}{y}\right)^2+y^2=625\\ \\168^2+y^4=625y^2\\ \\y^4-625y^2+168^2=0\\ \\D=(-625)^2-4\cdot 168^2=(625-2\cdot 168)(625+2\cdot 168)=289\cdot 961=17^2\cdot 31\\ \\\sqrt{D}=17\cdot 31=527\\ \\y^2_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-625)\pm 527}{2}=49,\ 576\\ \\y_1=7,\ y_2=-7,\ y_3=24,\ y_4=-24$

The length of the leg cannot be negative, so

$y_1=7\Rightarrow x_1=\dfrac{168}{7}=24\\ \\y_2=24\Rightarrow x_2=\dfrac{168}{24}=7$

Cavalieri’s principle states that if two solids of equal height have equal cross-sectional areas at every level parallel to the

<h2>Answer:</h2>

one cone within the cylinder.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

First of all we have to start with half of a sphere (also known as a hemisphere), whose radius is r, and calculate its volume. Then we can double our answer at the end to find the volume of the complete sphere. But first to apply the Cavalieri's Principle, we start with a cone with the same radius r and suppose the height is also r, so the volume of this cone is:

$V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{3}$
