In all geometry problems, drawing a diagram is most helpful.

The half-side lengths are 5 feet and 12 feet.

By the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypothenuse, or side length of the rhombus is therefore

sqrt(5^2+12^2)=sqrt(169)=sqrt(13^2)

= 13 feet.

See diagram below.

Given: ∠ DEF

To construct: ∠TSZ ≅ ∠DEF

Construction: Consider the attachment

Step-01: Draw a line XY and choose a point S on it as a vertex of the required angle. Further marks point T such that DE = ST

Step-02: Take an arc AB from point E in ∠DEF of any length and draw at point S which cuts at point P on XY line.

Step-03: Take another arc of length AB from point B in ∠DEF and draw from point P which cuts to the previous arc at Q.

Step-04: Now, join the point SQ and extend up to Z such that EF = SZ

Hence, ∠ TSZ will be the required congruent constructed angle to∠DEF

A jewelry box has a volume of 240 in cubic in. Its height is 12 inches, its width x in inches and its length ( x + 8) inches.
maw [93]

Answer:

Width of the box = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Volume of the box = 240 cubic inches

Length of the box = (x + 8) inches

Width of the box = x inches

Height of the box = 12 inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

240 = (x + 8) * x * 12

240 = (x² + 8x) * 12

240 = 12x² + 96x

12x² + 96x - 240 = 0

x² + 8x - 20 = 0

Solve quadratic equation using factorization method

x² + 10x - 2x - 20 = 0

x(x + 10) -2(x + 10) = 0

(x + 10) (x - 2) = 0

x + 10 = 0 OR x - 2 = 0

x = -10 OR x = 2

Width of the box can not be a negative value

Therefore,

Width of the box = 2 inches

What is the radical form of each of the given expressions?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These exponential forms can be written into radicals very easily as long as you remember the rule:  The denominator of the rational exponent serves as the index of the radical and the numerator serves as the exponent on the radicand. Let's look at a rational exponent.  3/4  4 would be the index on the radical (the number that sits in the little dip of the radical sign) and 3 is the power on the base.  So

x^{\frac{3}{4}} can be written in radical form as

\sqrt[4]{x^3}

Let's do 3^3/2 in your problem.  2 is the index (which is a "normal" square root and you don't need to write a 2 there cuz it's understood that it's a 2 if nothing is there), and 3 is the power on the base, which in our case is a 3.  Bases can be numbers OR letters.

3^{\frac{3}{2}}=\sqrt[2]{3^3}=\sqrt{3^3}

That does in fact have an actual number answer, but I don't think you are simplifying them yet, only learning to write them from one form to another, so there you go!
