$\text{Calculate how far apart the balloon and submarine are from each other}\\\\\text{We know that the balloon is 100,000 feet ABOVE sea level}\\\\\text{We also know that the submarine is 15,840 BELOW sea level}\\\\\text{To find the distance between each other, add the values, since they're}\\\text{farther apart since one's below sea level and one is above sea level}\\\\100,000+15840=115,840\\\\\boxed{\text{Answer: 115,840 feet apart }}$

1. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 6. What is the length of the shortest

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

b. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the short side is ½ the hypotenuse [the long side is double the short side].

30°-60°-90° Triangles

x√3 → long side

x → short side

2x → hypotenuse

45°-45°-90° Triangles

x → two legs

x√2 → hypotenuse

6x+32=−2x

velikii [3]

Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
Try to get all the x values and regular values together.
To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:

6x-6x+32=-2x-6x
=
32=-8x
now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself

32/-8=-8/-8x
= 32/-8=x
-4=x
so your answer is: x= -4
