Solve for x. leave the answer in simplest radical form

WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago

Answer:

\sqrt{120}

Step-by-step explanation:

These are right triangles, remember<em> Pythagoras theorem?</em>

<em />

<em />a^{2}+ b^{2}= c^{2}<em />

<em />

"a" and "b" refer to the legs of the triangle, and "c" is the longest side, the one opposite to the right angle, the hypotenuse.

So, we need to find one leg, and we have a side and a hypotenuse.

Replace the values in the equation:

9^{2} +b^{2} =10^{2}

Simplify:

36+b^{2} =100

Take the 36 to the other side:

b^{2} =36+100

Simplify:

b^{2} = 136

To get rid of the square on the other side, put radicals on each side:

\sqrt{b^{2} }=\sqrt{136}

Simplify, the square and radical on the left cancel out:

b=\sqrt{136}

So that's the line in the center, not x, to find x, do the same.

x = \sqrt{120}

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

36 cups of Chex total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, he will obviously be using 12 cups of pretzels, so let's set that aside. For every cup of pretzels, there are 3 cups of chex. So, multiply 3x12. That will give you how much chex you will need.

How do you verify this trigonometric identity? cos^2 θcot^2 θ = cot^2 θ - cos^2 θ
sattari [20]
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Replace cos^2(θ) with 1-sin^2(θ), and cot(θ) with cos(θ)/sin(θ).

  cos^2(θ)cot^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) - cos^2(θ)

  (1 -sin^2(θ))cot^2(θ) =  . . . . . replace cos^2 with 1-sin^2

  cot^2(θ) -sin^2(θ)·cos^2(θ)/sin^2(θ) = . . . . . replace cot with cos/sin

  cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) = cot^2(θ) -cos^2(θ) . . . as desired

A rectangular billboard image is 5 ft wide and 4 ft high. If the available billboard space is 25 ft by 15 ft, what are the dimen
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

18¾ ft × 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the billboard are 25 ft by 15 ft.

The dimensions of the image are 5 ft by 4 ft  

Case 1.<em> Expand the length of the image to 25 ft. </em>

We have multiplied the length by five, so we must multiply the width by five.

w = 5 × 4 = 20 ft. That's too big. The image will overflow the billboard

by 5 ft.


<em>Case 2. </em><em>Expand the width of the image to 15 ft. </em>

We have multiplied the width by 15/4, so we must multiply the length by 15/4.

l = 15/4 × 5 = 75/4 = . That will fit, with 6¼ ft left over.

The expanded image will be 18¾ ft × 15 ft.

In the image below, the big rectangle represents the billboard, and the red rectangle represents the original image.

The pink rectangle represents the dilation of the original image to a width of 15 ft.
