Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+2b= 86 cm

a²+b²= 386 cm²

a+b=?

----------

  • 4a+2b= 86  
  • 2a+b= 43
  • (2a+b)²=43²
  • 4a²+4ab+b²=1849

b²= 386- a², b= 43- 2a

  • 4a²+4a(43-2a)+386-a²-1849=0
  • 4a²+172a-8a²-a²-1463=0
  • -5a²+172a-1463=0
  • 5a²-172a+1463=0

solving quadratic equation we get

a=19 - integer solution

b= 43-2*19= 5

a+b=19+5=24

What is the value of x? Round to the nearest tenth(1 decimal place)​
liraira [26]

Answer:

x ≈ 15.0 ft

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Trigonometry</u>

  • tan∅ = opposite over adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Angle = 28°

Opposite leg of angle = 8 ft

Adjacent leg of angle = x ft

<u>Step 2: Find </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                                        tan28° = 8/x
  2. Multiply <em>x </em>on both sides:                 xtan28° = 8
  3. Divide tan28° on both sides:          x = 8/tan28°
  4. Evaluate:                                          x = 15.0458
  5. Round:                                              x ≈ 15.0 ft
