Mathematics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer

y = (1/4)x - 5                 or     4y - x + 20 = 0

Explanation

To get the rule required, we interpret the sentence and write it in a mathematical form.

5 less than one fourth of x is y  

one fourth of x ⇒ (1/4)x

5 less than one fourth of x is y  ⇒  (1/4)x - 5 = y

y = (1/4)x - 5

4y = x - 20

4y - x + 20 = 0

Question (in need of help)
mr Goodwill [35]
<h3><u>Required</u><u> Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

This is an right angle ∆ and the side lengths containing a right angle are 9 and 11.

By Pythagoras theoram,

{p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {h}^{2}

where p is the perpendicular, b is the base and h is the hypotenuse.

Plugging the values,

{9}^{2}  +  {11}^{2}  =  {h}^{2}

Then,

h =  \sqrt{ {9}^{2}  +  {11}^{2} }

h = 14.12(approx.)

<h3><u>Hence:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The x of the right angled ∆ = <u>1</u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>
