Answer: The correct answer is option C; 90√2

Step-by-step explanation: The line segments are labelled as base 1, base 2 and base 3 respectively. This we shall call point 1, point 2 and point 3. These three points form a right angle. Also we have been told that Marcus is on point 3 and Jean is on point 2. They are both 90 feet apart. Also Joel is on point 1 and he is 90 feet away from Jean. The unmeasured distance therefore is from point 1 to point 3, which is the distance from Joel to Marcus (or Marcus to Joel).

The distance from point 1 to point 3 is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle derived. Using the Pythagoras' theorem, the distance from  Joel to Marcus (or JM) is calculated as follows;

JM² = JC² + JL²

Where JM is the distance between Joel and Marcus (hypotenuse), JC is the distance from Jean to Marcus and JL is the distance from Jean to Joel.

JM² = 90² + 90²

JM² = 8100 + 8100

JM² = 16200

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

√JM = √16200

JM = √100*√81*√2

The right hand side of the equation can be further solved as

JM = 10*9*√2

JM = 90√2

Therefore the distance between Marcus and Joel is calculated as 90√2 feet

The first term on an A.P is p ans its common difference is q. Find its 10th term.
maria [59]

Answer:

p + 9q.

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for the nth term of an A. P is

an = a1 + d(n - 1) where a1 = the first term and d = the common difference.

So the 10th term when a1 = p and d = q is:

a10 =  p + q(10 - 1)

= p + 9q.

How can I Factor X^2+x-2
AlekseyPX

The factored form of the given expression x² + x - 2 is ( x - 1 )( x + 2 ).

<h3>What is the factored form of the given expression?</h3>

Given the expression;

x² + x - 2

Consider the standard form ax² + bx + c compared to the given expression;

  • a = 1
  • b = 1
  • c = -2

Now, we find a pair of integers whose product gives the value of c which is -2 and whose sum gives the value of b which is 1.

The integers are -1 and +2.

Check

-1 × 2 = -2

-1 + 2 = 1

Now, we write the factored form using these integers.

( x - 1 )( x + 2 )

Therefore, the factored form of the given expression x² + x - 2 is ( x - 1 )( x + 2 ).
