Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 22² = 24²

Subtract 22² from both sides

a² = 24² - 22²

a² = 576 - 484

a² = 92

Take the square root of both sides

a = 9.591663046625438

Rounded

a = 9.6 ft

m∠FDE = 52°

Solution:

Given data:

DE ≅ DF, CD || BE, BC || FD and m∠ABF = 116°

<em>Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°</em>

m∠ABF + m∠CBF = 180°

116° + m∠CBF = 180°

m∠CBF = 64°

If CD || BE, then CD || BF.

Hence CD || BE and BE || FD.

Therefore BFCD is a parallelogam.

<em>In parallelogram, Adjacent angles form a linear pair.</em>

m∠CBF + m∠BFD = 180°

64° + m∠BFD = 180°

m∠BFD = 116°

<em>Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°</em>

m∠BFD + m∠DFE = 180°

116° + m∠DFE = 180°

m∠DFE = 64°

we know that DE ≅ DF.

<em>In triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal.</em>

m∠DFE = m∠DEF

m∠DEF = 64°

<em>sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°</em>

m∠DFE + m∠DEF + m∠FDE = 180°

64° + 64° + m∠FDE = 180°

m∠FDE = 52°

If f (x) = x2 – 2x, find:<br> f(6) = [?]
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

f(6) = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 - 2x

   Let x = 6

f(6) = 6^2 - 2(6)

    = 36 - 12

    = 24
