Answer:
25.6
Explanation:
t = 2 seconds
h = 8 + 40.8(2) - 16(2)^2
Solve for h by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
h = 25.6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question with some background info added:</em></u>
- <em>When measuring the dimensions of a room a carpenter uses a tape measure that only displays a number of feet, L, on the metal tape. (The carpenter's tape measure does not display inches) </em>
- <em>Write an expression to determine the length of the room in units of 3 feet. </em>
<h3>Solution</h3>
Let the length of the room be L feet measured by the carpenter
<u>Then</u>
- L/3 = 1/3L would be measure of the length in units of 3 feet
Answer:
1.) x = 14.96ft
2.) The shorter leg is 6 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) a^2 + b^2 = c^2
- a and b = legs of the triangle
- c = hypotenuse the longest side
15ft^2 + x^2 = (2x +1)^2
- 225 = 2x^2 + 1 - x^2
- 225 = x^2 + 1
- 225 - 1 = x^2 +1 - 1
- √224 = √x^2
- x = 14.9662...
2.) Longer leg a = x+2, shorter leg b = x, Hyp. c= 2x-2
Equation:
Solve:
- (x+2)(x+2) + x^2 = (2x-2)(2x-2)
- x^2 + 4x + 4 + x^2 = 4x^2 - 8x +4
- 2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 4x^2 - 8x +4
- 2x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4x^2 +8x - 4 = 4x^2 - 4x^2 - 8x + 8x + 4 - 4
- -2x^2 + 12x = 0
- 2x (-x + 6) = 0
Answers:
- 2x = 0
- -x + 6 = 0
- <u>x=0 -or- x=6</u>
<u>Since x cannot equal 0 due to the known length of the triangle needs to be more than 0 the answer for x equals 0.</u>
<u>B=6</u>
Check:
- A = x + 2: A= 6 +2 = 8
- B= 6
- C = 2x -2: C= 2(6) -2 = 10
8^2 + 6^2 = 10^2
Answer:
x= -1 or x= -4
