Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of a square, all the sides are the same. Our figure is marked as such. Because of this characteristic, that congruency makes the top segment of the square parallel to the bottom segment. That makes x and the vertex (top) angle in the triangle on the right congruent (these are called alternate interior angles and they are congruent when they lie on opposite sides of a transversal that cuts a pair of parallel lines).

Also, due to the nature of this type of triangle which is an isosceles triangle, both the acute angles in each triangle are congruent and the other angle is a right angle. The Pythagorean Triple for the sides in this type of triangle, which is a 45-45-90, is, from shortest side to longest side, (x, x, x√2). That means that x is a 45 degree angle.

To find the value of y, we use the Pythagorean Triple. If the side is 10.9, then the hypotenuse is 10.9√2

Choice A is the one you want.

Whats the percent increase from 20 students to 30 students rounded to the nearest percent

yaroslaw [1]

Given Situation: What is the percent increase from the 20 students to the 30 students. Solution: => Let’s find how many percent did it increase. Let’s have 20 as the first total number of the students in the first counts. => Then it became 30 students, let’s find out how many students added. => 30 – 20 = 10, there are 10 students added 10 is 50% of 20, thus, 50% added to the number of students. And that makes it 30 as the total count.

Three pieces of wood measure 20 cm, 41 cm, 44 cm. If the same amount is cut off each piece, the remaining length can be formed i

SIZIF [17.4K]

The length that can be cut off from the three given pieces of wood equally to form a right triangle is 5 cm

Given parameters:

dimension of the three pieces of wood = 20 cm, 41 cm and 44 cm

To find:

the length that is cut off to form a right triangle

let the length that is cut off from each of the wood = y

From Pythagoras theorem, we will have the following equation.

$(44-y)^2 = (20-y)^2 + (41-y)^2\\\\expand \ the \ equation \ as \ follows;\\\\1936 - 88y + y^2 = 400 - 40y + y^2 + 1681 - 82y + y^2\\\\simplify \ by \ collecting \ similar \ terms \ together\\\\(1936 - 400- 1681) + (-88y + 40y+ 82y) + (y^2 - 2y^2) = 0\\\\-145 +34y - y^2 = 0\\\\multiply \ through \ by \ (-1)\\\\y^2-34y + 145 = 0\\\\factorize \ the \ above \ quadratic\ equation\\\\y^2 -5y - 29y + 145 = 0\\\\y(y - 5) -29(y - 5)=0 \\\\(y -5)(y-29) = 0\\\\y = 5 \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ y = 29$

Since the least measurement of one of the pieces of the wood is 20 cm, we cannot cut off 29 cm.

Thus, the highest amount we can cut off equally is 5 cm
