Answer:

y = 8

x = 8√5

z = 4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula (which is a geometric mean):

a        y

---- = -----

x        a

Where a is the altitude (y), x is a projection (16), and y is the other projection (4):

y        4

---- = -----

16       y

Cross multiply:

y² = 16 (4)

y² = 64

√y² = √64

y = 8

To find x and z, use the Pythagorean Theorem:

16² + y² = x²

256 + 8² = x²

256 + 64 = x²

320 = x²

√320 = √x²

√64√5 = √x²

8√5 = x

x = 8√5

4² + y² = z²

16 + 64 = z²

80 = z²

√80 = √z²

√16√5 = √z²

4√5 = z

z = 4√5

What to the tenth power can get you 300
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1.7689 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number we are seeking be "x", thus we can write the equation as:

x^{10}=300

Since we have raised "x" to the "10th power", to get "x" back again, we need to take 10th root. Same goes for right side, we take 10th root of 300. We will get our answer. The process shown below:

x^{10}=300\\\sqrt[10]{x^{10}} =\sqrt[10]{300} \\x=\sqrt[10]{300} \\x=1.7689

hence, 1.7689 raised to 10th power will give us 300
