Answer:

UN = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

(4x - 3)² = (3x + 3)² + x² ← distribute both sides

16x² - 24x + 9 = 9x² + 18x + 9 + x² ← simplify

16x² - 24x + 9 = 10x² + 18x + 9 ( subtract 10x² + 18x + 9 from both sides )

6x² - 42x = 0 ← factor out 6x from each term

6x(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

6x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 7

Hence UN = x = 7 and SU = 4x - 3 = (4 × 7) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
1) <span>The triangles that are formed in the hexagon by joining all the vertices with the center of the hexagon are all equilateral and are equal in size
therefore
the radius of the circle is equals to the length side of the regular hexagon
FE=BP--------> FE=6 cm

the answer is
FE=6 cm </span>

PLEASE ANSWER WITH SOLUTION PLS

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.

there were a total of 560000 votes, now, off those some are valid and some are invalid.

we know 15% of that are invalid, that simply means that 85% are valid, since 85% + 15% is the whole thing, or 100%, if 15% are not good, the other 85% are the good ones.

how many are the valid ones anyway? well, 85% of 560000, which is just (85/100) * 560000.

we know that off those valid ones, the candidate got 75% of those, so how much is 75% of that?

well, (75/100) * [ (85/100) * 560000 ].

Hey guys please answer if you know

jonny [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

note that

(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab , that is

a² + b² + 2ab = (a + b)² ← subtract 2ab from both sides

a² + b² = (a + b)² - 2ab

= 5² - 2(3)

= 25 - 6

= 19
