Mathematics

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

Solve the following equation by first writing the equation in the form ax² = c
alexandr1967 [171]

The solution to the given equation is x = ±7. The correct option is d. x = ±7

<h3>Solving quadratic equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the solution to the given equation

The given equation is

x²-49 = 0

NOTE: I assumed the variable is x

Solving the equation

x²-49 = 0

Writing in the form ax²= c

x² = 49

∴ x = ±√49

x = ±7

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x = ±7
