Answer:

Tom weighs 70 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to set up your equation which would be, x + 3x = 280.

The x stands for Tom's weight and the 3x stands for three times Tom's weight for the dad. You would then add your like terms, then divide by 4 to get 70.

x + 3x = 280

4x = 280

280/4 = 70

x = 70

Hope this helps!

if j is 21 inches, k is 12 inches, and angle M measures 62 degrees, then find m using the Law is Cosines. round your answer to t
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

18.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines is c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab cos(C), where c is the unknown side length of a triangle, a and b are the remaining two side lengths, and C is the angle opposite to side c. To answer this question just plug in the known values:

m^2=21^2+12^2-2(21)(12) cos(62)

Simplify:

m^2=441+144-504 cos(62)

m^2=585-504 cos(62)

m=\sqrt{585-504cos(62)}

m≈18.665...

When rounded to the nearest tenth, m=18.7

The sides of a triangle are x , x +1 , 2 x -1 and its area is x root of 10 .Find the value of x.
VARVARA [1.3K]


Ok, I'm going to start off saying there is probably an easier way of doing this that's right in front of my face, but I can't see it so I'm going to use Heron's formula, which is A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where A is the area, s is the semiperimeter (half of the perimeter), and a, b, and c are the side lengths.

Substitute the known values into the formula:

x√10=√{[(x+x+1+2x-1)/2][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-x][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(x+1)][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(2x-1)]}

Simplify:

<span>x√10=√{[4x/2][(4x/2)-x][(4x/2)-(x+1)][(4x/2)-(2x-1)]}</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x(2x-x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x(x)(x-1)(1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x²(x-1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√(2x³-2x²)</span>

<span>10x²=2x³-2x²</span>

<span>2x³-12x²=0</span>

<span>2x²(x-6)=0</span>

<span>2x²=0 or x-6=0</span>

<span>x=0 or x=6</span>

<span>Therefore, x=6 (you can't have a length of 0).</span>
