With that information you can determine how far the park is from the football field.
Call h the height of the triangle, x the distance from the park to the football field and y the distance from the park to the home of Kristen.
Using Pithagora's theorem, ou can state this system of equations:
1) From the complet triangle: x^2 + y^2 = (8 + 2)^2 = 10^2 = 100
2) From the triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance from the park to the football field:
x^2 = 8^2 + h^2
3) From the triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance from the park to the home of Kristen:
y^2 = 2^2 + h^2
To solve the system start by subtracting equation 3) from equation 1) =>
x^2 + y^2 = 100
y^2 = 4 + h^2
---------------------
x^2 = 100 - 4 - h^2
x^2 = 96 - h^2
Now sum this result to equation 2
x^2 = 96 - h^2
x^2 = 64 + h^2
---------------------
2x^2 = 96 + 64
2x^2 = 160
=> x^2 = 80
=> x = 8.94
Answer: 8.94 miles
Answer: 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3m+13=29.5
Answer: AB = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since B is the midpoint, AB and BC must be congruent (since theyre both half of the segment). The equation is:
2x + 5 = 5x - 1
This means x = 2, meaning AB is 9.
Answer: we are on venus
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the area of this square is 361 ft^2, the side length is √(361 ft^2), or 19 ft.
