Answer:not enough information
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24
Subtract the second from the first:
4x + 4y = 24
- 5x + 4y = 28
4x - 5x = -x
4y = 4y = 0
24 - 28 = -4
so you end with -x + 0 = -4
Solve for x to get x = 4
Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.
2(4) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 4
y = 2
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Answer:
2: 99° 3: 81° 4: 81°
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is supplementary to 1 so subtract 81 from 180 = 99.
3 is vertical angle with 1 so they are equal
4 is alternate interior angle with 3 so they are equal
hope this helps stay safe :)
