Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board, 12 feet, will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The measure of the distance from the board to the wall will be the unknown leg.  This is adjacent to the 60° angle.  This gives us the ratio

adjacent/hypotenuse, which is the ratio for cosine.  This gives us the equation

cos 60 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12:

12(cos 60) = (x/12)(12)

12(cos 60) = x

6 = x

The board is 6 feet from the wall.

Lesson 4 Solving One Variable Equation
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

b = -³¹⁄₃

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this Algebra equation by separating the variable and constants.

3b + 15 = -26 - 20

3b + 15 = -46

3b = -31

b = -³¹⁄₃

All circles are similar because all circle have same shape.

However Two circles are congruent , if and only if their radii are congruent.

In our question we are asked when are all circles similar given if their radii are congruent.

So we can say this statement is false because no matter the radii are congruent or not  , two or more circles are always similar because of their same shape no matter what the measure of their radii is. Only if we are asked when they are congruent, we will consider the radii part.

Answer is false.

Find the x intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-1,-16) and y intercept (0,-15)
Arlecino [84]
<span> first, write the equation of the parabola in the required form: </span>
<span>(y - k) = a·(x - h)² </span>

<span>Here, (h, k) is given as (-1, -16). </span>
<span>So you have: </span>
<span>(y + 16) = a · (x + 1)² </span>

<span>Unfortunately, a is not given. However, you do know one additional point on the parabola: (0, -15): </span>

<span>-15 + 16 = a· (0 + 1)² </span>
<span>.·. a = 1 </span>

<span>.·. the equation of the parabola in vertex form is </span>
<span>y + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>The x-intercepts are the values of x that make y = 0. So, let y = 0: </span>

<span>0 + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>We are trying to solve for x, so take the square root of both sides - but be CAREFUL! </span>

<span>± 4 = x + 1 ...... remember both the positive and negative roots of 16...... </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>x = -1 + 4, x = -1 - 4 </span>
<span>x = 3, x = -5. </span>

<span>Or, if you prefer, (3, 0), (-5, 0). </span>
