Answer:

The length of KL is 409.2 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, please check attachment for diagrammatic representation.

From the diagram, we can see that we are asked to calculate the value of the hypotenuse KL. Kindly note that the hypotenuse is the longest side of the right-angled triangle and it faces the angle 90 at all times.

Looking at what we have, we can see that we have adjacent and we are asked to calculate hypotenuse.

The trigonometric identity to use here is the Cosine

Cosine = length of adjacent/length of hypotenuse

cos 76 = 99/hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 99/cos76

hypotenuse = 99/0.24192

hypotenuse = 409.22 which is 409.2 to the nearest tenth of a foot

Hello there,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy during this winter season.

$x^2 + y^2 -6x+14y-1=0$

We need to use the Quadratic Formula*

$x =\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2}-4ac }{2a}$ , $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2} -4ac }{2a}$

Thus, given the problem:

$a = 1, b=-6, c=y^2+14y-1$

So now we just need to plug them in the Quadratic Formula*

$x=\frac{6+2\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(y^2+14y-1)} }{2}$ , $x=\frac{6-\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(y^2+14y-1)} }{2}$

As you can see, it is a mess right now. Therefore, we need to simplify it

$x=\frac{6+2\sqrt{10-y^2-14y} }{2}$ , $x = \frac{6-2\sqrt{10-y^2-14y} }{2}$

Now that's get us to the final solution:

$x=3+\sqrt{10-y^2-14y}$ , $x=3-\sqrt{10-y^2-14y}$

It is my pleasure to help students like you! If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Take care!
