You meant to say x^2 - 49 and the second binomial is x^2 - 16.

x^2 - 49 = (x - 7) (x + 7).

Set each factor to 0 and solve for x individually.

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

x + 7 = 0

x = -7

Do the same for x^2 - 16.

Here is the set up:

x^2 - 16 = (x - 4) (x + 4).

Take it from here.

A triangle has a base of x 1/2 m and a height of x 3/4 m. If the area of te triangle is 16m to the power of 2, what are the base

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The base of triangle is $\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m$ and the height of triangle is $\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A triangle has a base of x 1/2 m and a height of x 3/4 m. If the area of the triangle is 16m to the power of 2.

Now, to find the base and height of the triangle.

The base of triangle = $x\times\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x}{2} \ m.$

The height of triangle = $x\times \frac{3}{4} =\frac{3x}{4}\ m.$

The area of triangle = $16\ m^2.$

Now, we put the formula of area to solve:

$Area=\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height$

$16=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x}{2} \times \frac{3x}{4}$

$16=\frac{3x^2}{16}$

Multiplying both sides by 16 we get:

$256=3x^2$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$\frac{256}{3} =x^2$

Using square root on both sides we get:

$\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}=x$

$x=\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}$

Now, by substituting the value of $x$ to get the base and height:

$Base=\frac{x}{2}\\\\Base=\frac{\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}}{2} \\\\Base=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

So, the base of triangle = $\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

$Height=x\times\frac{3}{4} \\\\Height=\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{3}{4} \\\\Height=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

Thus, the height of triangle = $\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

Therefore, the base of triangle is $\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m$ and the height of triangle is $\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.$

If UV=x+13 and RT=x-37, What is the value of x?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

x = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio SR / RV is equal the ratio ST / TU (both ratios are equal to 1), and the angle in the vertex S is the same for both triangles SUV and STR, so we can affirm that these triangles are similar (case S-A-S).

Then, we have that the ratio SR / SV is the same as RT / UV:

SR / SV = RT / UV = 1 / 2

RT * 2 = UV

2*(x - 37) = x + 13

2x - 74 = x + 13

x = 87
