Answer:
A. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle will be a right triangle when the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
(x +1)^2 +x^2 = (√61)^2
x^2 +2x +1 +x^2 = 61 . . . eliminate parentheses
2x^2 +2x = 60 . . . . . . .subtract 1, collect terms
x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, subtract 30
(x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the quadratic
x = -6 or +5
The solution is x = 5.
_____
Side lengths cannot be negative. Solution values are values of x that make the factors zero. x+6=0 when x=-6, for example.
<span>A is the correct answer. In geometry, postulate is something that is assumed to be true without proof being given. In contrast, a theorem is a true statement which can be proven. A definition defines or explains what a term means. Statement one is a definition of perpendicular lines and statement two can be proven. </span>
Answer:
1414 kL
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the donut-shaped moat is the product of its surface area and depth. The area is the product of its centerline length and its width.
<h3>Moat area</h3>
The diameter of the centerline of the moat is (50 m -5 m) = 45 m. The length of that centerline is ...
C = πd = π(45 m) = 45π m
The area is this length times the width of the moat:
moat area = (45π m)(5 m) = 225π m²
<h3>Moat volume</h3>
The volume is the product of the area and the depth of the moat:
V = Ah = (225π m²)(2 m) = 450π m³ ≈ 1413.72 m³
1 cubic meter is 1000 liters, 1 kiloliter.
The volume of the moat is about 1414 kL.
