Answer:

2.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From Given diagram:

In ΔABC,

AC=2.5 miles

BC= 3.7 miles

∠BCA= 39.4°

Now as we have two sides and an angle, using law of cosines to find the third side:

c= √(a^2+b^2-2abcosα

AB=√(AC)^2 + (BC)^2 - 2(AC)(BC)cosα

    =√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)cos(39.4°)

    =√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)(0.77)

   =√(5.695)

     = 2.38 !

Write the equation in standard form. Identity the center and radius.<br> x² + y2 + 8x-4y-7=0
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

equation;

(x + 4) {}^{2}  + (y - 2) {}^{2}  = 27

Center (-4,2)

Radius is

3 \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the x^2 and y^2 have the same coeffiecent this will be a circle in a form of

(x - h) {}^{2}  + (y - k)  {}^{2}  =  {r}^{2}

Where (h,k) is center

r is the radius

So first we group like Terms together

{x}^{2}  + 8x  +  {y}^{2}  - 4y - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides

{x}^{2}  + 8x +  {y}^{2}  - 4y = 7

( {x}^{2}  + 8x) +(  {y}^{2}  - 4y) = 7

Since the orginal form of the equation of the circle has a perfect square we need to complete the square for each problem

(\frac{8}{2} ) {}^{2}  = 16

and

( - \frac{4}{2} ) {}^{2}  = 4

so we have

{x}^{2}  + 8x + 16 +  {y}^{2}  - 4y + 4y = 7 + 16 + 4

{x}^{2}  + 8x + 16  +  {y}^{2}  - 4y + 4y = 27

(x + 4) {}^{2}  +  (y  - 2) {}^{2}  = 27

To find our center, h is -4 and k is 2

so the center is (-4,2)

The radius is

\sqrt{27}  = 3 \sqrt{3}

So the radius is 3 times sqr root of 3.

Please assist me with these problems using the 45-45-90 relationship triangles​
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

side opposite 90 angle = x \sqrt{2}

sides opposite 45 angle = x

the multiplication and division by  \sqrt{2} should be self explanatory

1. x = 5, y = 5

2. v = 10, u = 10

3. x = \sqrt{10}, y = \sqrt{5}

4. m = 5, n = \frac{5\sqrt{2} }{2}

5. a = \frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}, b =  \frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}

6. a = \frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}, b =  \frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}

PLZ ANSWER THE QUESTION FROM THE PICTURE ASAP <br>20 POINTS ​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule is given by;

a = r .an-1 where n is the number of terms.

Given the sequence: -64, -16, -4 , -1, ....

This sequence is a geometric sequence with common ratio (r) = 1/4

Here, first term a1 = -64

Since,

\frac{-16}{-64} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{-4}{-16} = \frac{1}{4} and so on....

The recursive rule for this sequence is;

an = 1/4*an-1
