Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

It turns out from similar triangles, that 7/BD = BD / 18. Use triangles  ABD and BDC to show this relationship. Solving this equation will give you BD

BD^2 = 7*18

BD^2 = 126     Just leave it in this form. Do your rounding at the end.

Because triangle BDC is a right angle triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for m

m^2 =  BD^2 + 7^2

m^2 = 126 + 49

m^2 = 175                         Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(m^2) = sqrt(175)

m = 13.22

so the answer is D

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The length of the diagonal is x√10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of the diagonal

The diagonal will represent the hypotenuse of a triangle formed with the width and length of the triangle being the measure of the other sides

Mathematically, we then apply Pythagoras’ theorem to get this

we have this as that the square of the diagonal equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

d^2 = x^2 + (3x)^2

d^2 = x^2 + 9x^2

d^2 = 10x^2

d = √(10x^2)

d = x√10

A circle cuts the x-axis at (4,0) and (14,0), and cuts the y-axis at (0,6) and (0,8). Find it's equation
gayaneshka [121]
It is not a circle but you can find the equation of the ellipse.
To do this we need to work out the major and minor radii and the centre
The centre is at (9, 7)
The major (y) radius is 1 and the minor (x) radius is 5
Therefore the equation is (x-9)/5 + (y-7)/1 = 1

Please help I dont understand ​
Studentka2010 [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says y varies directly with x it just means that y and x are proportional/equal to each other. The constant of variation and the constant of proportionality are the same thing just different way of saying it so they can confuse you and make your life miserable. Since y and x are proportional to each other and the constant of proportionalty is -5 to make an equation that represents a line you use the formula y=mx+b. That is the slope of the line. With that formula let's first plus in the x so we have y=m2+b. The formula for direct variation is y=kx as well that's good to know and it's good to memorize all these formulas. Math becaomes easier when you have the process down pat and you just need to plug numbers into different equations, expressions, and scenarios. Do m = [y1 - y2] / [x1 - x2] and you'll get the answer.
