21²+28²=c²
√1225=c
35 miles - distance of the boat to its starting point

10.<br> JKLM is a rhombus KLN is a triangle. Find MKN.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

65°

Step-by-step explanation:

JM = JK (all sides of a rhombus are equal)

Angle JKM = 25° (isosceles triangle)

Angle JKL = 50° (consecutive angles of rhombus)

Angle MKL = 25° (angle subtraction)

Angle MLK = 130° (opposite angles of a rhombus)

Angle KLN = 50° (angles on a straight line)

Angle LKN = 40° (angle sum of triangle)

Angle MKN = 65° (angle addition)

Answer:

-4 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method 1</u>

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula: $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Given $x^2-16=0$

Rewrite 16 as 4²

Therefore, $a^2=x^2$ and $b^2=4^2$

$\implies a = \sqrt{x^2}=x$

$\implies b=\sqrt{4^2} =4$

$\implies x^2-16^2=(x+4)(x-4)$

$\implies (x+4)(x-4)=0$

$\implies (x+4)=0 \implies x=-4$

$\implies (x-4)=0 \implies x=4$

<u>Method 2</u>

Given equation:

$x^2-16=0$

Add 16 to both sides:

$\implies x^2-16+16=0 + 16$

$\implies x^2=16$

Square root both sides:

$\implies \sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}$

$\implies x=\pm4$

Therefore, x = -4, x = 4

A campground owner has 24002400 m of fencing. he wants to enclose a rectangular field bordering a river, with no fencing along

Free_Kalibri [48]

We define variables:
x = represent the width of the field
y = represent the length of the field
We write the perimeter (with no fencing along the river):
2400 = 2x + y
We clear y:
y = 2400-2x
Answer:
an expression for the length of the field as a function of x is:
y = 2400-2x
