Find the value of y and simplify completely.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anna [14]3 years ago

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

One week, Jason earned $404.70 at his job when he worked for 19 hours. If he is paid the same hourly wage, how many hours would
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

29 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If he earned $404.70 per 19 hours, you do 404.70/19 to figure out the amount he earns per hour. 404.7/19 is 21.3. He earns $21.3 per hour. to solve, you find how many times 21.3 goes into 617.7 or 617.7/21.3. That is 29. He needs to work 29 hours to earn $617.70

Find the value of B - A if the graph of Ax + By = 3 passes through the point (-7,2), and is parallel to the graph of x + 3y = -5
Gnoma [55]

The required simplified value of B - A = -6.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Since, line Ax + By = 3 and x + 3y = -5 are parallel than slope of both the line will be same,
m = -1/3 = -A/B
From above
A = B/3  - - - - -(1)


Now line Ax + By = 3 passed through the point (-7, 2). So,
-7A + 2B = 3
from equation 1
-7B/3 + 2B = 3
-B/3 = 3
B = -9
Now put B in equation 1
A = -9 / 3
A = -3

Here,
B - A = -9 + 3 = -6

Thus, the required simplified value of B - A = -6.
