The magnitude of WX is $\sqrt{29}$ ⇒ c

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of XY (its length) where,

$X=(x_{1},y_{1},z_{1})$
$Y=(x_{2},y_{2},z_{2})$

is IXYI = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(z_{2}-z_{1})^{2}}$

∵ W = (-2 , 8 , -3)

∵ X = (1 , 4 , -1)

- To find the magnitude of WX use the formula above

∴ $x_{1}$ = -2 and $x_{2}$ = 1

∴ $y_{1}$ = 8 and $y_{2}$ = 4

∴ $z_{1}$ = -3 and $z_{2]$ = -1

- Substitute these values in the rule above

∵ IWXI = $\sqrt{(1--2)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}+(-1--3)^{2}}=\sqrt{9+16+4}$

∴ IWXI = $\sqrt{29}$

The magnitude of WX is $\sqrt{29}$

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1 centimeter longer than one side and 4 centimeters longer than three times the other side

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$Hypotenuse = 25cm$

$Opposite = 24cm$

$Adjacent = 7cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent:

The opposite with a
The adjacent with b
The hypotenuse with c

Given that:

$c = 1 + a$

$c = 4 + 3b$

Required

Solve for a, b and c

$c = c$

So, we have:

$1 + a = 4 + 3b$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$a = 4 -1 + 3b$

$a = 3 + 3b$

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Substitute 3 + 3b for a and 4 + 3b for c

$(4 + 3b)^2 = (3 + 3b)^2 + b^2$

Open brackets

$16 + 12b+12b+9b^2 = 9 + 9b+9b+9b^2 +b^2$

$16 + 24b+9b^2 = 9 + 18b+10b^2$

Collect Like Terms

$10b^2 - 9b^2 + 18b - 24b + 9 - 16 = 0$

$b^2 - 6b -7 = 0$

Expand

$b^2 +b-7b-7=0$

Factorize:

$b(b+1)-7(b+1) =0$

$(b-7)(b+1) = 0$

Split:

$b - 7 = 0\ or\ b+1=0$

$b = 7\ or\ b=-1$

But the adjacent of a triangle can't have a negative measurement.

So:

$b = 7$

Recall that:

$c = 4 + 3b$

$a = 3 + 3b$

Substitute 7 for b in the above expressions

$c = 4 + 3 * 7$

$c = 4 + 21$

$c = 25$

$a = 3 + 3 * 7$

$a = 3 + 21$

$a = 24$

Hence, the dimensions of the triangle are:

$Hypotenuse = 25cm$

$Opposite = 24cm$

$Adjacent = 7cm$

Solve for x.<br><br> 25x=65<br><br><br> 1225<br><br> 125<br><br> 3<br><br> 6

NARA [144]

$25x = 65$
Divide both sides by 25 to isolate x:

$\frac{25x}{25} = \frac{65}{25} \\ \\ x = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6$
