Step-by-step explanation:
From Pythagorean theorem, one of the sides can be determined as x^2 + y^2 =8^2
or y = (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
we can write the perimeter P as
P = 2x + 2y ---> 20 = 2x + 2(8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
Dividing by 2, we get
10 = x + (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
Move the x to the other side,
10 - x = (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
Take the square of both sides to get rid of the radical sign:
(10 - x)^2 = 8^2 - x^2
Move everything to the left and expand the quantity inside the parenthesis:
x^2 + (100 - 20x + x^2) - 64 = 0
2x^2 - 20x + 64 = 0
or
x^2 - 10x + 32 = 0
Now we can see that a = -10 and b = 32

Answer:
72°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given:
A town planner wants to build two new streets, Elm Street and Garden Road, to connect parallel streets Maple Drive and Pine Avenue.
We are also told that there is a Trapezoid EFGH with EH as the Pine avenue and EF as the Elm street.
However, side FG and EH are parallel.
∠G = 108°
From the property of parallel lines :
since FG || EH
Then ∠G = ∠H = 108° (i.e corresponding angle will also be equal)
The required angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue would be interior angles + 180° given that alternate angles are also equal.
The required angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue = 180° - 108°
The required angle between Elm Street and Pine Avenue = 72°
Answer:
C. y=11
Step-by-step explanation:
6y-6=4y+16
6y=4y+22
2y=22
y=11
