Since the triangle is right angled, we may use pythagoras theorem to find the third side.

Pythagoras theorem :-

KI^2 + JI^2 = KJ^2

substituting the known values in the formula,

x^2 + 3^2 = 5^2

x^2 + 9 = 25

x^2 = 25 - 9

x^2 = 16

x = √16

x = 4

Which equation best represents this situation?

Hello!

We have the difference between 30 and x(our unknown value) is equal to 17; so we just simply set it up that way. Always think of x or any variable(like in your question they use p, it can be anything u want, it’s simply a representation of an unknown value we are trying to find)as your unknown and what operation they are implying as in this case it’s subtraction as they want the difference between 30 and x.

So the answer is a. 30-p=17

Hope this helped and any questions please just ask. Thank you!

A cylindrical roller 2.5 m in length, 1.5 m in radius when rolled on a road was found to cover the area of 16500 m2 . How many r

eduard

Answer:

701 revolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length= 2.5 m

Radius= 1.5 m

Area covered by roller= 16500 m²

Now, finding the Lateral surface area of cylinder to know area covered by roller in one revolution of cylindrical roller.

Remember; Lateral surface area of an object is the measurement of the area of all sides excluding area of base and its top.
