Answer:

2 sqrt(19)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angle between the two hands

360 /12 *2 = 60 degrees

We divide by 12 because there are 12 number and multiply by 2 because there are 2 number between 10 and 12

This is a triangle where we know 2 sides and the angle between them.

We can use the law of cosines to determine the third side

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2abcosC

Where C is the angle between sides a and b

a =4 and b = 10  C = 60  and we are looking for side c

c^2 = 4^2 + 10^2 -2*4*10 cos60

c^2 =16+100 - 80cos 60

c^2 = 76

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(76)

c = sqrt(76)

c =sqrt(4) sqrt(19)

c =2 sqrt(19)

What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x) = x^3-10x^2+24x
Ludmilka [50]
Replace F(x) with y
y=x^3-10x^2+24x
To find the roots replace y with 0.
0=x^3-10x^2-24x
Rewrite the equation as
x^3-10x^2+24x=0
Factor the left side
x(x-6)(x-4)=0
The solution is a result of
x=0, x-6=0, and x-4=0

The answer is:
x=0, 6, 4

6. You begin work at 8:30 am. You take an unpaid lunch break from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

7 hours 15 minutes

7.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Break from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm = 45 minutes

Two 15-minute unpaid coffee breaks during the day = 30 minutes

Total break hours = 45 minutes + 30 minutes

= 1 hour 15 minutes

Total work day hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm = 8 hours 30 minutes

How many hours are you paid?

Total hours paid = Total work day hours - Total unpaid break hours

= 8 hours 30 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes

= 7 hours 15 minutes

b) Express your answer as a decimal in hours only

7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal

15 minutes to hour = 60 minutes/15 minutes

= 1/4

= 0.25 hours

7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal = 7 hours + 0.25 hours

= 7.25 hours

Based on the given information, what can you conclude and why
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Notice the point R
is a vertex between two "vertical angles" \measuredangle SRT\ and\ \measuredangle QRP

those two folks are also the same
so now, we have the left triangle has angle P equals to angle T on the other triangle
we also have the side on the left triangle of PR equals the side of TR on the other triangle, and those two verticals angles are equal to each other

Which best describes the error in finding the missing length of the triangle?
Paul [167]

Answer:

24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

7^2 + b^2 = 25^2

7^2 - 25^2 = -b^2

49 - 625 = -b^2

-576 = -b^2

24 = b
