The length of x is option 1. 24.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We determine the value of the base for the right triangle first.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Assume the base of the right triangle is y.

The hypotenuse measures 18 units while the other sides are 13 units and y units.

Step 2:

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

18^{2} = y^{2} + 13^{2} , y^{2} = 18^{2} - 13^{2} .

y^{2} = 155, y = 12.44.

So y equals 12.44 units but as y is only the base length for one of the triangles,

x = 2y = 2 (12.44) = 24.88.

Rounding off 24.88 we get 24.9 which is closest to 24.8.So the length of x is option 1. 24.8.

A 65 ft. long swimming pool is to be constructed. The pool will be 4 ft. deep at one end and 11 ft. deep at the other. To the ne
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Measure of the acute angle = 84°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

ABDE is a swimming pool having length 'AB' = 65 feet

Depth of one end of the pool is BE = 4 feet

And depth of the other end AD = 11 feet

Acute angle between the bottom of the pool (DE) and wall of the deep end (AD) is ∠ADE.

Now from ΔCDE,

tanx = \frac{EC}{DC}

tanx = \frac{7}{65}

x = \text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{7}{65})

x = 6.15°

Now measure of acute angle the bottom of the pool makes with wall at he deep end,

m∠ADE = (90 - 6.15)°

             = 83.85°

             ≈ 84°

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (−2x + 8y)(9x − 3y).
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
For these kinds of expressions use FOIL (first, outside, inside, last).

-2x • 9x = -18x^2
-2x • -3y = 6xy
8y • 9x = 72 xy
8y • -3y = -24y^2

Now combine them all:

-18x^2 + 78xy - 24y^2

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, 5/5 RATING, AND FAVORITE.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume this is function is a straight line, consider the equation of the straight line: y=mx + c

To find the gradient of the equation, we use any two coordinates from the table. (x_1,y_1) = (6,-1)\\(x_2,y_2) =(2,1)

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}\\\\m = \frac{1-(-1)}{2-6}\\\\m=\frac{2}{-4} \\\\m=- \frac{1}{2}

We substitute the value of m in the equation:

y =mx+c\\y = - \frac{1}{2} x + c\\\\

To find c, we use the leftover coordinates, (4,0) in the equation above:

y = -\frac{1}{2}x+c\\\\0 = -\frac{1}{2} \times 4+c\\\\0 = -2 + c\\\\c=2\\\\

Substitute this value of c in the equation to get the function:

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2
