To find x, we have to use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

In our problem,

a = 3

b = ?

c = 6.5

(3)^2 + b^2 = (6.5)^2

Simplify the left and right side.

9 + b^2 = 42.25.

Subtract 9 from each side

b^2 = 33.25.

Take the square root of each side

b = 5.8.

Multiply 5.8 by two becuase 5.8 is the radius and we are looking for the diameter

x = 11.6

Find the length of x exactly. Brainly!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell by looking at this triangle that this is a <u>45 45 90 triangle.</u>

In this situation, the hypotenuse is x\sqrt{2} and the legs are both x.So if we look at the hypotenuse, we can tell that x, or the leg of the triangle, is 7.

45 45 90 triangles: This is a special triangle in which the angles of the triangle are 45 45 and 90 degrees. This means that the hypotenuse will be x\sqrt{2} and the legs of the triangle will be x. You can usually use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the missing sides.

Answer:

infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3x-5y) = 2*15

6x - 10y = 30

This is the same as the second equation

They are the same line

This means there are infinite solutions
