Sides x and y

2x + 2y = 58.8

x + y = 29.4

y = 29.4 - x

x² + y² = 21²

x² + (29.4 - x)² = 21²

100x² - (294 - 10x)² = 210²

200x² - 2(2940)x + 294² - 210² = 0

200x² - 2(2940)x + (294-210)(294+210) = 0

200x² - 2(2940)x + (84)(504) = 0

Common factor of 8,

25x² - 735 x + (21)(252) = 0

(5 x - 63) (5 x - 84) = 0

x = 63/5 or x = 84/5

x = 12.6 or x = 16.8

The problem is symmetrical so when one of these is the length the other is the width.

Answer: 12.6 km by 16.8 km

Another wooden plank is leaning against an outside wall of a building. The bottom of the plank is 9 ft from the wall. The length
Vladimir [108]
Given:
bottom of the plank or ground is 9 feet from the wall
length of the plant is 41 ft
height of the wall is unknown.

Let us use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²
a² + (9ft)² = (41ft)²
a² + 81 ft² = 1,681 ft²
a² = 1,681 ft² - 81 ft²
a² = 1,600 ft²
√a² = √1,600 ft²
a = 40 ft

The height of the wall is 40 ft.

Triangles are similar. Round answer to nearest tenth (step by step)
ozzi

Answer:

13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar = alike but not the same

A lot of times in geometry it would mean that they have the same shape, just different size, so first find the ratio:

6/12 = 1/2

27 * 1/2 = 27/2 = 13.5

Plot the x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation y=-x-5
Rainbow [258]
The y intercept is the y value determined when x = 0
y = -0 - 5
y = - 5
The y intercept is (0,-5)

The x intercept is where y = 0
0 = -x - 5
5= -x
x = - 5
The x intercept is (- 5, 0)

A cylinder has a volume of 105 cubic centimeter what is the volume of a cone with the same base and height?
pychu [463]

Answer:

<h2>35 cm³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cylinder:

V_1=\pi r^2H

r - radius

H - height

The formula of a volume of a cone:

V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H

If the cylinder and the cone have the same base (radius) and the same height, then the volume of the cone is three times smaller than the volume of the cylinder.

V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\underbrace{\pi r^2H}_{V_1}

Therefore:

V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}V_1\toV_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot105\ cm^3=35\ cm^3
