Answer:
√(137)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you will need to find the other side length.....then you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal:
L x W = 44
4 x W = 44
W =11
Now the Pythag, Theorem:
diagonal^2 = 4^2 + 11^2
d^2 = 16+121
d^2 = 137
d = √(137)
Answer:
x = 8, and y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 variables, so you need 2 equations to form a system of equations in two variables.
The upper left triangle has all angle measures given: 100, 2x + y, 5x + y. We know that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.
First equation:
100 + 2x + y + 5x + y = 180
Simplify:
7x + 2y = 80 (First equation)
Now we see that the upper and lower sides are parallel, so alternate interior angles are congruent. The angles measuring 2x + y and 5x - y are alternate interior angles and are congruent.
Second equation:
2x + y = 5x - y
Simplify:
3x - 2y = 0 (Second equation)
Now we use the first equation and the second equation as a system of simultaneous equations to solve for x and y.
7x + 2y = 80
3x - 2y = 0
Solve the second equation for 2x.
3x = 2y
Now replace 2y in the first equation with 3x.
7x + 3x = 80
10x = 80
x = 8
Replace x with 8 in the second equation.
3(8) - 2x = 0
24 = 2x
x = 12
Answer: x = 8, and y = 12
So to set up the equation we have:
<span><span><span>4M</span><span>4+M</span></span>=<span>127</span></span>
<span>28M=12(4+M)</span>
<span>28M=48+12M</span>
<span>28K−12M=48</span>
<span>(28−12)M=48</span>
<span>16K=48</span>
<span>M=<span>4816</span></span>
<span>M=3</span>
So Marna can clean the chimney alone in 3 hours
Is there a picture to go with it?
