By Pythagoras theorem

RQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}
RS^{2}= x^{2} + 9^{2}

SQ^{2}= RS^{2}  + RQ^{2}
SQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}  + x^{2} + 9^{2}
SQ^{2}=2 x^{2} +256+81
25^{2}=2 x^{2} +337
625-337=2 x^{2}
288=2 x^{2}
144= x^{2}
x=12

Answer:  The value of x is 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x from the figure.

We can see that triangle RSQ is a right-angled one with m∠SRQ = 90°. And RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ.

Given ST = 9 units, TQ = 16 units  and  RT = x = ?

Since ΔRSQ is a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse SQ and RT is perpendicular to SQ, so we must have

RT^2=ST\times TQ\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=9\times 16\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=144\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm12.

Since the length of a line segment cannot be negative, so the value of of x is 12 units.

Thus, the required value of x is 12 units.

Help plzz I need the length of "b" and the answers and the steps to find that answer??? Plz help don't have a lot of time to sub
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Use pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shorter sides are 1 & 4

1^2+4^2=c^2

1+16=c^2

17=c^2

So, the length, rounded to the nearest whole inch, would be 4.

To find the perimeter, you need to find the side lengths first.

The short sides are 6 & 7.

6^2+7^2=c^2

36+49=c^2

85=c^2

So the length for that would be 8, in the nearest whole number.

Add all of the side lengths together.

6+7+8= 21

The perimeter is 21.

Which of the following has no solution?
Softa [21]

Answer:

(x + 1 s 1) n (x + 12 1)

(x +1<1) n (x + 1 > 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just simplify each the statements.

Then compare and and see if the statements are contradictory and therefore FALSE, if so, then there is no solution.

(x + 1<-1) n (x + 1< 1)

(x <-2) n (x < 0) which is true, so there is a solution.

(x + 1 s 1) n (x + 12 1)

this doesn't make sense so there is no solution.

(x +1<1) n (x + 1 > 1)

(x < 0) n (x > 0)

This is not possible, the statements are contradictory and therefore FALSE, so there is no solution.

Mr. Robinson washed 2/5 of his laundry. His son washed 1/4 of his laundry. Who washed more? How much laundry still need to be wa
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Mr.Robinson; 27/40 i think.

Step-by-step explanation: To begin solving you have to make both of the denominators the same by multiplying 2/5 by 4 and 1/4 by 5 giving you 8/20 and 5/20. From there i'm pretty sure you just add the two fractions to get 13/40 leaving 27/40 to be washed.
