Full question:

The longest side of an obtuse triangle measures 20 cm. The two shorter sides measure x cm and 3x cm. Rounded to the nearest tenth, what is the greatest possible value of x?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: an obtuse triangle is a triangles in which one of the interior angles is more than 90 degrees. Sum of angles in triangle =180 degrees

The longest side of a triangle here is the hypotenuse. To find the unknown side of a triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem. We already know the hypotenuse hence:

20= √(x²+3x²)

20=4x

x=20/4=5

x= 5

Amani computed in a two-way table the relative frequencies of sales of homes listed with two different real estate companies.

Advocard [28]

The answer the third option.

When you look at the data, in the first column, the frequency of sales of both are similar. Even the second column shows similar data. Association is determined if there is a significant difference between the data in each column/row depending on what you are aiming to answer.

In this case, we look at it per column because you want to compare the frequencies of sales of each company which are aligned by columns. So we know to look at the columns and not the rows.

We know they combine to 2,977 grams. The puppies weight the same
Let’s make puppy = x
Basket weight = 1,077
8x + 1077 = 2977
8x = 1900, x = 237.5 grams
It would be around 250 grams

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square?

Shalnov [3]

Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.

$(x+7)^2$

We can distribute this expression to get $x^2+14x+49$ .

An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.

Now, if we wanted to add a number to $x^2+16x$ to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.

Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is $\boxed{64}$

Liula [17]

Answer:

1400 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate of change of distance. It is the ratio of distance to time and is given by the equation:

$Speed(S) = \frac{distance(d)}{time(t)}\\ S=\frac{d}{t}$
