First off, this is the quadratic formula:
x= -b +/- √b²-4ac
           2a
(there's a division sign between the 2a)
Next, you would substitute each of the numbers in the equation for a, b, or c. For a, you would put it as 1. For b, you would say 8. For c you would say 9. Hopefully you get the pattern.
Then you plug in the numbers.
x=-8+/-√8²-4(1) (9)
           2(1)
Then you would simplify.
8²=64
 -4(1)(9)=-36.
64-36=28
√28≈5.3
So, you would end with 
x=-8+/-5.3
            2
Next, start with addition. Add -5.3 to the -8. That is -13.3. -13.3/2=-6.65. That is the first part of the answer.
Next, subtract. -8--5.3=-2.7. -2.7/2=-1.35.
The answers to problem is -6.65 and -1.35. Assuming your rounding your answers to the nearest tenth, your answer will be d. This is hard to explain in text, but I hope this makes sense.

Which is the height of the triangle?<br> ( PIC IS PROVIDE PLS HELP ME)
zysi [14]
<h3>Answer: 80 meters</h3>

This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).

So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2

x^2 + 3600 = 10000

x^2 = 10000 - 3600

x^2 = 6400

x = sqrt(6400)

x = 80

Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100

Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.

If the perimeter of a square is 68 feet, find the approximate length of its diagonal.A. 17 feet B. 24 feet C. 38 feet D.
Elanso [62]

Find the side length:

Side = 68/4 = 17

Now use Pythagorean theorem:

Diagonal = sqrt(17^2 + 17^2)

Diagonal = sqrt(289 + 289)

Diagonal = sqrt(578)

Diagonal = 24 feet

The answer is B. 24 feet
