You can either solve this with the Pythagorean theorem or the special triangles rule which can be applied to (degrees —>) 45/45/90 or 30/60/90 triangles.

With the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is used with the numbers accordingly- 5 and S are legs and can be either a or b while √50 being the hypotenuse can only be c

(5)^2 + (s)^2 =(√50)^2

25 + (s)^2 = 50

√ ((s)^2) = √ (50 - 25)

s = 5

The special Triangles rule actually states that a shortcut can be applied to the corresponding sides (look at picture). S is directly across from a 45 degree angle (and so is 5!)

If a = 5, than s must also = 5.

5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Tan(45)=S/5 to solve for S. Tan basically means Opposite/Adjacent. So the opposite side is S and the adjacent side is S. You plug tan(45) into your calc and then multiply it by 5.

Proportion Below

Tan(45)/1 = S/5

You cross multiply to get Tan(45)*5=S

S would be 5

To check you can use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

5^2+5^2=

{5}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  =  \sqrt{50}

25+25=50

0.87 repeating 7 written as a fraction is _____.
almond37 [142]
The easiest way to solve this is to add 0.8 to 0.07 repeating 7 as fractions. 0.8 as a fraction is 8/10 and the other one as a fraction is 7/90. To give them a common denominator, 8/10 becomes 72/90. The two add to 79/90.

Someone please help me
AysviL [449]

Answer:

$51.05

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare these, you would need to multiply the 5 gallon to match the 25 gallon. in which you would multiply by 5. because you multiplied the 5, you also need to multiply the 11. when you multiply 11 by 5 its 55. so your total comparison would be $55 for 25 gallons vs $51.05 for 25 gallons. Obviously the cheaper one is better.

The linear density in a rod 8 meters long is 10/(sqrt(x 1)) kg/m, where x is measured in meters from one end of the rod. Find th
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The average density of the rod is 1.11 kg/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear density is given by the expression 10/(sqrt(x 1)) kg/m

x is said to be measured in meters from one end of the rod. Therefore x represents the length of the rod = 8 m

Substitute the value of x into the expression of linear density to determine the average density of the rod

Average density = 10/(sqrt(81)) = 10/9 = 1.11 kg/m
