Answer:

b = 1.88 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the law of cosine

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cos B

Now we plug in the values of a = 2, c = 3 and ∠8 = 38°

b² = 2² + 3² - 2 × 2 × 3 cos 38°

b² = 4 + 9 - 12 (0.78801)

= 13 - 9.456

= 3.5438

b = $\sqrt{3.5438}$

= 1.88 units

Therefore, b = 1.88 units

Using the quadratic formula to solve x2 + 20 = 2x, what are the values of x?

jeka94

by Quadratic formula , $x^2 + 20 = 2x$ , values of x are $x = 1 \pm (1)i\sqrt{19}}$ . None of mentioned options are correct according to question!

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , expression x2 + 20 = 2x or , $x^2 + 20 = 2x$ .

We know that Quadratic formula is :

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$x^2 + 20 = 2x$

⇒ $x^2-2x+20=0$

$a=1\\b=-2\\c=20$

Putting this value in equation $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ :

⇒ $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

⇒ $x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(20)}}{2(1)}$

⇒ $x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-80}}{2}$

⇒ $x = (\frac{2 \pm 2i\sqrt{19}}{2})$

⇒ $x = 1 \pm (1)i\sqrt{19}}$

Therefore , by Quadratic formula , $x^2 + 20 = 2x$ , values of x are $x = 1 \pm (1)i\sqrt{19}}$ . None of mentioned options are correct according to question!

Answer:

4.5 feet of pipe after he cuts it

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 2 by 36 to get inches then subtract 18 which is 54 inches and then you divide by 12 to turn it into feet and you get 4.5
