Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is rendered and attached below.

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, \angle XYW=45^\circ

\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7

What do the following two equations represent?<br> -4x-4y = -5 <br> 12x+12y = 112x
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

These two lines are parallel and system of these equations have no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel Lines: Lines having same slope and different x and y intercept are parallel lines. System of such equations does not have any solution as these lines does not intersect at any finite points.

Standard form of line is y=mx+c where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

First Line:

-4x-4y=-5\\\\-4y=-5+4x\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ -4\\\\y=-x+\frac{5}{4}\\\\compare\ with\ y=mx+c\\\\slope=-1,\ c=\frac{5}{4}

Second Line:

12x+12y=112\\\\12y=112+-12x\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 12\\\\y=-x+\frac{12}{112}\\\\compare\ with\ y=mx+c\\\\slope=-1,\ c=\frac{12}{112}

Hence these two lines are parallel and system of these equations have no solution

Please help me solve this

Answer:

The length of river D is 2550

length of river C is 2550+500=3050

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the river D be 'x'

and the river C is (x+500)

x + x + 500 = 5600

2x + 500 = 5600

2x = 5600 - 500

2x = 5100

x = 5100/2

x = 2550

The length of river D is 2550

length of river C is 2550+500=3050
