Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 + x^2 = (sqrt(514))^2

225 + x^2 = 514

Subtract 225 from each side

225-225 + x^2 = 514-225

x^2 =289

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(289)

x = 17

The equation t^3=a^2 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A

ankoles [38]

Answer:

2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the relationship of interest by solving the given equation for A, the mean distance.

<h3>Solve for A</h3>

$T^3=A^2\\\\A=\sqrt{T^3}=T\sqrt{T}\qquad\text{take the square root}$

<h3>Substitute values</h3>

The mean distance of planet X is found in terms of its period to be ...

$D_x=T_x\sqrt{T_x}$

The mean distance of planet Y can be found using the given relation ...

$T_y=2T_x\\\\D_y=T_y\sqrt{T_y}=2T_x\sqrt{2T_x}=(2\sqrt{2})T_x\sqrt{T_x}\\\\D_y=2\sqrt{2}\cdot D_x$

The mean distance of planet Y is increased from that of planet X by the factor ...

The weight of a nickel is 80% of a quarter. If a nickel weighs 5 grams how much does a quarter weigh?

muminat

Answer:

Weight of a quarter = 6.25 grams

Weight of a dime = 2.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a nickel is 80%

The weight of a quarter or the weight of a nickel is 5 grams or weight of a quarter =50.8 = 6.25 grams

Weight of a dime = 50% = 12 (weight of nickel) = 52 = 2.5 grams
