You have such entry data: 
1\ \textless \ a\ \textless \ 10 \\ 1\ \textless \ b\ \textless \ 36

Consider expression \sqrt{a+ \sqrt{b} }. If this expression becomes an integer, then b=4,9,16,25, because then \sqrt{b} = 2,3,4,5, respectively. In other cases \sqrt{b} is not integer and thus the expression \sqrt{a+ \sqrt{b} } also is not integer.

1. b=4, then \sqrt{a+ \sqrt{b} }=\sqrt{a+2}. Here a=2,7 (in other cases \sqrt{a+2} is not integer). When a=2, \sqrt{a+2}=\sqrt{2+2}=2 and when a=7, \sqrt{a+2}=\sqrt{7+2}=3.

2. b=9, then a=6 and \sqrt{a+ \sqrt{b} }= \sqrt{a+3}=\sqrt{6+3}=3.

3. b=16, then a=5 and \sqrt{a+ \sqrt{b} }= \sqrt{a+4}=\sqrt{5+4}=3.

4. b=25, then a=4 and \sqrt{a+ \sqrt{b} }=\sqrt{a+5}=\sqrt{4+5}=3.

Answer: (2,4), (7,4), (6,9), (5,16), (4,25).

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ. Given that WX→ and WZ→ are are opposite rays, and m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ) is m∠YWZ?.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

m∠YWZ=36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (WX and WZ) form a single straight line through the common endpoint W.

If rays WX and WZ are opposite, then angle XWZ is straight angle. A straight angle always has the measure of 180°.

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ, then angles XWY and EWZ are supplementary angles (together form straight angle XWZ). Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, then

m∠XWY+m∠YWZ=180°

You are given that

m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ).

Substitute it into the previous equality:

4(m∠YWZ)+m\angle YWZ=180°

5(m∠YWZ)=180°

m∠YWZ=36°

A building casts a shadow that is 50 feet in length. If the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building is 25
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Use slope-intercept form to write an equation of a line passing through the given point and having the given slope. Express the
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

4y = -3x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y1 = -9 x1= -4 m = -3/4

y -(-9) = -3/4(x -(-4)

y + 9 = -3/4(x + 4)

y + 9 = -3/4x -12/4

multiply through by 4

4y + 36 = -3x -12

4y = -3x -12-36

4y = -3x -48 in the form y = mx + c
