Answer:
The length of the sides of the square is 9.0015
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The diagonal of a square = 12.73
Required
The length of its side
Let the length and the diagonal of the square be represented by L and D, respectively.
So that
D = 12.73
The relationship between the diagonal and the length of a square is given by the Pythagoras theorem as follows:
Solving further, we have
Divide both sides by 2
Take Square root of both sides
Reorder
Now, the value of L can be calculated by substituting 12.73 for D
(Approximated)
Hence, the length of the sides of the square is approximately 9.0015
Answer:
2/3 + 1/5 = 13/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - c = 6
15 - 6 = c
9 = c
c = 9
U = (-2,3)
V = (3,0)
midpoint of UV
= ( (3-2)/2 , (3+0)/2 )
= ( 1/2 , 3/2)
= ( 0.5 , 1.5)
X = (0.5 , 1.5) [from fig]
midpoint of UV = X
W= (-2,-3)
V =( 3.0)
Y = ( (-2+3)/2 , (-3+0)/2 )
= (0.5 , - 1.5)
Y = ( 0.5 , -1.5) [ from fig ]
Y is the midpoint of WV
by midpoint theorem ,
UW = 2( XY )
Answer: He actually rode 2 miles per hour on his trip
Step-by-step explanation: Maybe unconventional, but express the time it took, then figure the speed.
Time = distance /speed t will represent time, s is the speed: t = 30/s Use the rime it would have taken at the higher speed to create an equation:
t-12 = 30/s+8 replace the y with the 30/s
30/s -12 = 30/s+8
(s)(30/s -12 ) = (s)(30/s+8 ) Cross multiply to cancel denominators
(s-8)(30 -12s) = (s-8)(30s/s+8 ) ==> 30s +240 -12s² -96s =30s Simplify:
(-1)(-12s² -96s +240 ) =0 ==> 12s² +96s -240 divide all by 12
s² + 8s -20 = 0 Factor and solve for s
(s +10)(s -2) =0 s-2=0 S= 2
Proof:
30/2 = 15 hours for original trip at 2mph,
increase speed by 8mph 2 + 8 = 10mph
30 miles at 10mph takes 3 hours; that is 12 hours less than his actual trip.
