Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an equilateral triangle it means that all the sides are 50. Each side is equal so, if you divide 150 by 3 you get 50. (and since perimeter is the adding of each side)

Now you want to try to figure out what the altitude is of the triangle so you divide it in half. Making the bottom side length now 25 because half of 50 is 25. You now have to use Pythagoreans theorem to figure out the altitude:

c^2 - a^2 = b^2

50^2 - 25^2 = b^2

2500 - 625 = b^2

1875 = b^2

√1875 = b

43.30127019

now you put that into the expression: x√3:

x√3 = 43.30127019

x = (43.30127019) ÷ (√3)

x = 25

Hope this helped!

Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

A cube has a side length of x feet. Which expression represents the surface area of the cube?

alexdok [17]

The answer is D)6x2 square units.

A surface area of a cube is a sum of its sides' areas. A side of the cube is a square, and there are total 6 sides of the cube. Also, an area of the side of the cube is the area of the square, which can be expressed as a², where a is the length of the side. Therefore, the surface area (SA) of the cube is:
SA = 6*a² = 6a²

If side length is x, that means that a = x units.
After replacing it in the formula, you will have:
SA = 6a² = 6x² square units
