Rule of thumb: ANY absolute value is positive.

I 5x + 10I = -7

5x + 10 = -7 -Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

5x + 10 - 10 = -7 - 10

5x = -17 -Divide both sides by 5.

5x / 5 = -17 / 5

x = -3.4

Hope this helps! Have a happy thanksgiving, here's a turkey!

an isosceles triangle has congruent sides of 20cm. the base is 10cm. find the height of the triangle.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A_\triangle=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

b - base

h - height

We need a length of a height.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$

We have:

$leg=5,\ leg=h,\ hypotenuse=20$

Substitute:

$5^2+h^2=20^2$

$25+h^2=400$ subtract 25 from both sides

$h^2=375\to h=\sqrt{375}\\\\h=\sqrt{(25)(15)}\\\\h=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{15}\\\\h=5\sqrt{15}\ cm$

Calculate the area:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{(10)(5\sqrt{15})}{2}=\dfrac{50\sqrt{15}}{2}=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2$

A machine with velocity ratio of 5 is used to raise a load with an effort of 500N . If the machine is 80% efficient , determine

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Solutions given:

Velocity ratio V.R =5

effort =500N

efficiency =80%

magnitude of load=?

mechanical advantage [M.A ]

we have

efficiency =M.A/V.R*100%

80=M.A./5*100

80/100*5=M.A

M.A.=4

again

we have

M.A =load/effort

4=load/500

load=500*4

load=2000N

<h3>the magnitude of the load is 2000N.</h3>
