Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the upper triangle has a right angle at Island C, we need only use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x:
(10 mi)^2 + (20 mi)^2 = x^2, so that
x^2 = 100 mi^2 + 400 mi^2 = 500 mi^2, which reduces to
x = +10√5 mi
Note that the shortest side (10 mi) is adjacent to a 30 degree angle. Thus, the upper triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, meaning that the Pythagorean Theorem DOES apply here.
Next time, please incude ALL of the verbal instructions. Thank you.
To find y, divide the first equation by 2.
y = 4
To find x, use that value for y in the second equation. Add 4, then divide by 2.
15·4 = 2x -4
60 +4 = 2x
64/2 = x = 32
The solution is (x, y) = (32, 4).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...
x , x + 2, x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30
3x + 6 = 30
3x = 30 - 6
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
check...
8 + 10 + 12 = 30
18 + 12 = 30
30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out
the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm
For both lines the slope is 5/2 or 2.5.
Since the y-intercept is zero for both, both the equations are:
y=2.5x
Or
y=5/2x
