Answer:

you can use it in architecture and construction

Step-by-step explanation:

say you are building a sloped roof. If you know the height of the roof and the length for it to cover, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal length of the roof's slope. You can use this information to cut properly sized beams to support the roof, or calculate the area of the roof that you would need to shingle. I hope this helps!

A 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phone Battery Life (hours)

A 20

B 25

C 10

D 18

8.45% of the battery life of each mobile phone is used in a day by a typical user

Calculating Hours of battery life in a day for each mobile

A 20

Battery life for A = $\frac{8.45}{100}\times 20 = 1.69$ hours

B 25

Battery life for B = $\frac{8.45}{100}\times 25 = 2.11$ hours

C 10

Battery life for C = $\frac{8.45}{100}\times 10 = 0.845$ hours

D 18

Battery life for D = $\frac{8.45}{100}\times 18 = 1.52$ hours

Therefor Mobile phone A 20 uses a total of 1.69 hours of battery life in a day

For the following system, if you isolated x in the first equation to use the Substitution Method, what expression would you subs

Arlecino [84]

First, we write the first equation where the left side contains x and y in the right side. We do as follows:

x = 2y + 6

You, then substitute the equation to the second one.

3(2y + 6) + y = 8
6y + 18 + y = 8
7y = -10
y = -10/7
x = 22/7
