Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Your required answer is option B.

Here,

Given,

The figure is an equilateral triangle with, side (7x+9) and (x+27).

By the defination of equilateral triangle we have,

All sides of equilateral triangle are equal. 

So,

$( 7x+ 9) = x + 27$

Simplify them to get answer.

$7x - x = 27 - 9$

$6x = 18$

$x = \frac{18}{6}$

Therefore the value of x is 3.

Hope it helps...

Tara wants to fix the location of a mountain by taking measurements from two positions 3 miles apart. From the first position, t

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Shortest distance from the mountain is 3.17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Let a mountain is located at point A.

Angle between the mountain and point B (∠B) = 53°

Angle between the mountain and point C (∠C) = 78°

Distance between these points = 3 miles

Since, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠A + 53° + 78° = 180°

m∠A = 180°- 131° = 49°

By applying sine rule in triangle ABC,

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{BC}=\frac{\text{sin}(53)}{AC}= \frac{\text{sin}(78)}{AB}$

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{3}=\frac{\text{sin}(53)}{AC}= \frac{\text{sin}(78)}{AB}$

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{3}=\frac{\text{sin}(53)}{AC}$

AC = $\frac{3\text{sin}(53)}{\text{sin}(49)}$

AC = 3.17 miles

$\frac{\text{sin}(49)}{3}=\frac{\text{sin}(78)}{AB}$

AB = $\frac{3\text{sin}(78)}{\text{sin}(49)}$

AB = 3.89 miles

Therefore, shortest distance from the mountain is 3.17 miles.

Rationalise the denominator of: 1/(√3 + √5 - √2)

Paul [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Given expression is

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} }$

can be re-arranged as

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{1}{( \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} ) + \sqrt{5} }$

On rationalizing the denominator, we get

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{1}{( \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} ) + \sqrt{5} } \times \dfrac{( \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} ) - \sqrt{5} }{( \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} ) - \sqrt{5} }$

We know,

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ (x + y)(x - y) = {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} \: }}$

So, using this, we get

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{5} }{ {( \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} )}^{2} - {( \sqrt{5}) }^{2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{5} }{3 + 2 - 2 \sqrt{6} - 5}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{5} }{5 - 2 \sqrt{6} - 5}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{5} }{ - 2 \sqrt{6}}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ - ( - \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}) }{ - 2 \sqrt{6}}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{- \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{6}}$

On rationalizing the denominator, we get

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{- \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{6}} \times \dfrac{ \sqrt{6} }{ \sqrt{6} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{- \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{12} + \sqrt{30}}{2 \times 6}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{- \sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 2} + \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 3} + \sqrt{30}}{12}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{- 3\sqrt{2} + 2 \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{30}}{12}$

Hence,

$\boxed{\tt{ \rm \dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} } =\dfrac{- \sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 2} + \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 3} + \sqrt{30}}{12}}}$

A company is looking to hire a lawyer. One law rm states that their legal fees can be determined using the

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

100 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Law firm A = 350x + 22,000,

Law firm B = 410x+16,000

Where,

x = number of hours of legal assistance

What number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation 350x+22,000 = 410x+16,000 true?

Equate the legal fees of the two law firms

350x + 22,000 = 410x + 16,000

Collect like terms

350x - 410x = 16,000 - 22,000

-60x = -6,000

Divide both sides by -60

x = -6,000 / -60

= 100

x = 100 hours

The number of hours of legal assistance makes the equation true is 100 hours

At best buy they have a 42" TV that sells for $1250 and is on sale 15% and sales tax is 6%.What is the final cost?

Marat540 [252]

Ok so
sale is 15% off
and add 6% tax

100-15=85
100+6=106

therefor
1250 with 15% discount plus 6% tax means
1250 times 85% times 106% =
1250 times 0.85 times 1.06=1126.25
final cost=$1126.25
