Answers:

  • a = 21
  • b = 42*sqrt(2)
  • h = 14*sqrt(2)

================================================

Explanation:

There are 3 right triangles here. They are all similar triangles allowing us to form the proportion

7/h = h/56

which solves to...

7/h = h/56

7*56 = h*h

392 = h^2

h^2 = 392

h = sqrt(392)

h = sqrt(196*2)

h = sqrt(196)*sqrt(2)

h = 14*sqrt(2)

Note: h is the geometric mean of 7 and 56.

---------------------

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for 'a'. Focus on the smaller triangle on the left

7^2 + h^2 = a^2

7^2 + (sqrt(392))^2 = a^2

49 + 392 = a^2

441 = a^2

a^2 = 441

a = sqrt(441)

a = 21

---------------------

Then we can find b. Again use the pythagorean theorem. Focus on the largest right triangle this time.

a^2 + b^2 = (7+56)^2

21^2 + b^2 = 63^2

441 + b^2 = 3969

b^2 = 3969 - 441

b^2 = 3528

b = sqrt(3528)

b = sqrt(1764*2)

b = sqrt(1764)*sqrt(2)

b = 42*sqrt(2)

In 1 and 2, use the table below that shows information about squares.
frutty [35]

1. The table has a constant of proportionality of 4, therefore, the perimeter and side length of squares are proportional.

2. Equation for the proportion is, y = 4x.

Perimeter = 48 cm.

<h3>What is the Equation of a Proportional Relationship?</h3>

The equation that defines a proportional relationship is, y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality between variables x and y.

1. For the table given:

y = perimeter

x = side length

k = constant of proportionality = 8/2 = 16/4 = 24/6 = 4.

Since k is the same all through, the equation can be modelled as y = 4x, which means the perimeter and side length of squares are proportional.

2. Using the equation, y = 4x,the perimeter (y) of a square when its side length is 12 (x) is:

y = 4(12)

y = 48 cm.

The perimeter (y) of the square is: 48 cm.

The sides of a square are five to the power of two fifths inches long. How is that written in radical form?
Evgen [1.6K]
Remember
x^ \frac{m}{n}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}
so
5^ \frac{2}{5}= \sqrt[5]{5^2}= \sqrt[5]{25}
