Answer:

3 $\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 'c' first by using the Altitutude Rule:

4/c = c/9

cross-multiply to get:

c = $\sqrt{36}$ or 6

Now you can find 'a' by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

4² + 6² = a²

a = $\sqrt{52}$

Now you can find 'b' by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

( $\sqrt{52}$ )² + b² = (9+4)²

52 + b² = 169

b² = $\sqrt{117}$

b = $\sqrt{117}$ = $\sqrt{3}$ $\sqrt{3}$ $\sqrt{13}$

b = 3 $\sqrt{13}$

1. A grand tour of four cities begins at city A and makes successive stops at cities B, C,

vampirchik [111]

Using distance between two points, it is found that the total distance covered on the tour is of 3400 miles.

Given two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , their distance is given by:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

In this problem, the formula is used to find the distance covered on each tour, hence:

$d_{AB} = \sqrt{(400 - 0)^2 + (300 - 0)^2} = 500$

$d_{BC} = \sqrt{(-800 - 400)^2 + (800 - 300)^2} = 1300$

$d_{CD} = \sqrt{(-800 - (-800))^2 + (0 - 800)^2} = 800$

$d_{DA} = \sqrt{(0 - (-800))^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = 800$

Then, the total distance is given by the sum of each separate distance, hence:

$d = d_{AB} + d_{BC} + d_{CD} + d_{DA} = 500 + 1300 + 800 + 800 = 3400$

The total distance covered on the tour is of 3400 miles.

-1/2x+2=-x+7 help please

Shalnov [3]

The trick is to get the X all alone on one side. Start by subtracting 2 from both sides. This wqould give you -1/2X+2-2=-x+7-2 or simplified to -1/2x=-x+5. Next, add x to both sides to give you -1/2x+x=-x+5+x. This simplifies to +1/2x=5. Multiplying by 2 on both sides will get rid of the fraction. Therefore 2*1/2x=5*2. This simplifies to your final answer of x=10.

There are 3/5 girls of the students in a class of 5th graders. If there are 35 students in the class, how many are girls? How ma

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: 21/35 girls 14/21 boys

Step-by-step explanation: To find the number of girls, multiply

3/5 × 35 = 21 girls

You can subtract 35-21 to find the number of boys, or multiply

2/5 × 35 = 14 boys

Realizing that 35/5 = 7, we can multiply

7/7 × 3/5 to get the fractional equivalent of girls 21/35

and 7/7 × 2/5 to get the fractional equivalent of boys 14/35
