Answer: he moves 50 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
He went 20 on his first because 1/5 of 100 then it says 1/4 of his first turn which is 5 and then 1.25=1 1/4 of his first turn which is 25 so 20+5+25= 50
Answer:
Since the legs of the right triangle measure x + 1 and x + 15, respectively, and since the hypotenuse measures x + 17, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used as follows: (x + 1)2 + (x + 15)2 = (x + 17)2. This equation becomes (x2 + 2x + 1) + (x2 + 30x + 225) = x2 + 34x + 289, which then becomes 2x2 + 32x + 226 = x2 + 34x + 289. When all the terms are moved to one side, the equation becomes x2 – 2x – 63 = 0, and when the left side of the equation is factored, it becomes (x – 9)(x + 7) = 0. At this point, it seems as if x can equal 9 or –7, but if x were –7, one of the legs would have a negative length, and this is impossible. For this reason x equals 9, and the legs of the triangle measure 10 and 24, respectively, while the hypotenuse measures 26. Since cosine is
length of adjacent leg
length of hypotenuse
, the cosine of angle C is
24
26
, or
12
13
.
The quadratic equation would be;
x2+15x-2=0
Working:
Assuming the area around the painting i.e the frame, has a uniform thickness, then;
Length of painting and frame = 8+x
Breadth of painting and frame= 7+x
The area from above step gives;
A= LxW
A= (8+x)(7+x)
On expanding, 56+8x+7x+x2
On simplifying,
56+15x+x2. This should be equal to 58.
58=x2+15x+56
Taking 58 to the other side,
x2+15x-2=0
