What is the length of AC

Hi!
This is a fun one, as it delves into basic trigonometry.

We're going to use the Pythagorean theorem here, which says that for right triangles where "c" is the hypotenuse,

a² + b² = c²

We have to split this large triangle into two parts, both of which are right triangles. (This is why they drew a line in the middle to tell you that the larger triangle is composed of two right triangles.)

Let's do the one on the right first.

We know that the length of the hypotenuse is 10, and that the length of one of the legs is 6.5. If we plug this into our equation, we'll get the length of the other leg. I'm choosing "b" to be 6.5, but it really doesn't matter if you pick "a" or "b", so long as you reserve "c" for the hypotenuse (longest side).

a² + 6.5² = 10²
a² + 42.25 = 100
a² = 57.75
√a² = √57.75
a ≈ 7.6

Therefore, the length of DC is about 7.6.

Find the length of AD using the same method (7.5 is the hypotenuse "c", and 6.5 is one of the legs "a" or "b"). Then, once you have AD, add the lengths of AD and DC to get AC.

Have a great one!

Community Gym charges a $50 membership fee and a $70 monthly fee. Workout Gym charges a $190
zepelin [54]

Answer:

14 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets create equations for these two gyms. I believe this is an algebra 1 problem.

Community Gym: y=70x+50

Workout Gym: y=60x+190

Because both gyms are equal to y, we can set them together and solve for x.

70x+50=60x+190

10x=140

x=14

You can find the cost by plugging in 14 into both of the equations. You get a cost of $1030 after 14 months

Therefore, after 14 months you will have paid the same amount for both gyms.

What + 89= 9(6+5) please solve for my answer and explain how you got your answer
nlexa [21]
The answer would be 10.

6 + 5 = 11
11 x 9 = 99

This means 9(6+5) = 99

99 - 89 = 10

M∠ABC=95° <br> Find m∠ABD and m∠DBC.<br><br> Please explain how to do this
ch4aika [34]
(2x+23)+(9x-5)=95

11x+18=95

x= 95-18/11

x=7

therefore substituting value of x in the given equations of angles:

angle ABD = 2(7)+23=37°
angle DBC = 9(7)-5= 58° Answer


to verify = 37°+58°= 95° ( which was given)
