Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC
AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence
AC = 
= 16
Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD
ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²
ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²
Equate both equations for AD², hence
256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²
-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )
- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )
40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )
x = 7.2 → C
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the new height is 338m and the helicopter decended 127m to get to that new height then the original height is simply the sum of them both.
H = 338m + 127m
H = 465m
To find the missing dimension you will use the formula for finding the volume of a prism and solve for the missing dimension. In this case 2ft is how deep the pool is and you will solve for the width of the pool.
V = Bh, where B is the area of the base. In this case, use the area of a trapezoid formula.
286 = 1/2h(8 +13)2
<u>286</u> = <u>21h</u>
21 21
h = 13.6
The width of the wading pool is approximately 13.6 feet.
Imdomt really understand but i done 180 divide 3 = 60
