Let us find the length of rope Jules will need using the pythagoras theorem .

Width of the moat ( let the moat be the base of this triangle ) = 14 foot

Distance from Roma's window to the boat ( let this be the side of the triangle where the right angle is present ) =20 feet

Then the length of rope needed ( hypotenuse ) =

= Let us name the triangle that is formed as △ ABC . Then ;

In △ ABC :

AB = the width of moat ( leg of triangle ) = 14 foot

BC = The distance from the window to the moat ( base ) = 20 feet

AC = Length of rope needed ( hypotenuse ) =

= AB ² + BC² = AC² ( according to the pythagoras theorem the square on the hypotenuse will be equal to the sum of the squares on the other two legs )

= 14² + 20² = AC²

= 196 + 400 = AC²

= 596 = AC²

= 24 × 24 = AC × AC

= 24 foot = AC = length of rope needed by jules .

Therefore , Jules will need a 24 foot rope so that his girlfriend can slide down and escape from her apartment .

What is the algebraic expression for <br> “Two less than the product of four and a number”
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

When a number is unknown, it's always represented by a letter - usually x. The product of four times that number would be 4 times x, or 4x. Two less than four times the number would, therefore, be 4x - 2.

What is the value of x?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The median has the property of being equal to 1/2 the length of the 2 parallel lines in a trapezoid. In this case. 1/2 [(x + 8) + (5x + 4)] = 24 There is your equation. Now all you have to do is solve it.

1/2 (x + 8 + 5x + 4) = 24 I've removed the inner brackets.
1/2 (6x + 12) = 24 Gathered like terms.
(6x + 12) = 24*2 Multiplied both sides by 2
6x + 12 = 48 removed the brackets.
6x = 48 - 12 subtracted 12 from both sides.
6x = 36 Divide by 6
x = 36/6
x = 6

a system of equations is shown below: x y = 3 2x − y = 6 the x−coordinate of the solution to this system of equations is _____.
pychu [463]
If you would like to solve the system of equations x + y = 3 and 2x - y = 6, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>x + y = 3 ... y = 3 - x
2x - y = 6
</span>_________
<span>2x - y = 6
</span>2x - (3 - x) = 6
2x - 3 + x = 6
3x = 6 + 3
3x = 9     /3
x = 9/3
x = 3

<span>y = 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0
</span>
The correct result would be x = 3.
