Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-x²+ 4x - 2 = 0

x² - 4x + 2 = 0

where

a = 1

b = -4

c = 2

Now,

Diacriminant (D)

D = b² - 4ac

= (-4)² - 4(1)*(2)

= 16 - 8

= 8

Answer:

The Value of $a=\frac{15}{4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have Named the figure please find the attachment for your reference.

Given:

PR = y

QR = a

RS = b

PS = z

PQ = x

QS = 15

∠P = 90°

∠R = 90°

∠Q = 60°

∠S = 30°

We need to find the Value of 'a'.

Solution:

Now we know that:

In Δ PQS

∠P = 90°

∠S = 30°

Now we know that;

$sin\ \theta = \frac{opposite\ side}{Hypotenuse}$

$sin \ S= \frac{PQ}{QS}$

Substituting the given values we get;

$sin\ 30\°=\frac{x}{15}$

Now we know that;

$sin\ 30\° = \frac12$

So we can say that;

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{15}\\\\x=\frac{15}{2}$

Now In Triangle PQR.

∠R = 90°

∠Q = 60°

So we can say that;

$Cos \theta = \frac{adjacent \ Side}{Hypotenuse}\\$

$Cos\ Q = \frac{QR}{PQ}$

Substituting the given values we get;

$cos 60\°= \frac{a}{x}$

Now we know that;

$cos 60\°= \frac12$

$x=\frac{15}{2}$

So substituting the values we get;

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{a}{\frac{15}{2}}$

By Using Cross Multiplication we get;

$a= \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{15}{2}\\\\a=\frac{15}{4}$

Hence The Value of $a=\frac{15}{4}$ .

Answer:

B. BC ≅ LM

Step-by-step explanation:

BC corresponds to LM. These are the only two sides without the hash marks that represent congruence. If the marks were there to indicate that the sides are congruent, then the triangles could be proved congruent by SSS.

A rectangular room is 6.8 meters longer than it is wide, and perimeter is 29.6 meters. Find the dimensions of the room.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

dimensions = 10.8 X 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Breadth/ width of room = x

Length of room = 6.8 + x

perimeter = 2 ( L + B )

29.6 = 2 ( 6.8 + x + x )

29.6/2 = 6.8 + 2x

14.8 - 6.8 = 2x

8 = 2x

8/2=x

4=x

Length of room = 6.8 + x = 6.8 + 4 = 10.8 m

Breadth/ width of room = x = 4m
