Answer:

22.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height difference between the posts is 9 feet.

Use Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

24² = 9² + b²

b = √495

b ≈ 22.25

What is exact the slope of the line through (-9, 6) and ( -3 ,9 )

Tatiana [17]

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-9,6)....x1 = -9 and y1 = 6
(-3,9)...x2 = -3 and y2 = 9
now we sub and solve
slope = (9 - 6) / (-3 - (-9) = 3 / (-3 + 9) = 3/6 = 1/2 <=

What is the value of x?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔTRQ is an isosceles right triangle, so if we find the value of RT then the value of 'x' will be the same

We can find RT by creating a proportion based on the ratio of sides in a 30-60-90° triangle which, respectively, is 1 : $\sqrt{3}$ : 2

2 $\sqrt{3}$ /RT = $\sqrt{3}$ /2

cross-multiply:

$\sqrt{3}$ · RT = 4 $\sqrt{3}$

RT = 4

Therefore, x = 4

2.3•10^3 scientific notation

labwork [276]

Well, 2.3•10^3 is the same as 2.3•1000. So move the decimal place three times to the right and you get a final answer of 2300.

Sorry it's quite complex, simplify then... had to use an nspire

1. x=1.22248
2. x=15624.8
3. x=0.057522 (shown in picture)
4. x=-0.732487
