Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

15^2+B^2=365

225+b^2=365

b^2=100

b=10

Answer:

EF =58

Step-by-step explanation:

from the illustration,

EF =DF - DE

<em>give</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>DF</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>x</em><em>-</em><em>3</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>DE</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>4</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>EF</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>sub</em><em>stitute</em><em> </em><em>them</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>formu</em><em>la</em><em>,</em>

<em> </em><em> </em>

<em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>x</em><em>-</em><em>3</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>7</em>

<em>sol</em><em>ving</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>x</em>

<em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>9x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>8</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>-6x</em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>9</em><em>6</em>

<em>div</em><em>iding</em><em> </em><em>throu</em><em>gh</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>6</em>

<em> $\frac{ - 6x}{ - 6} = \frac{ - 96}{ - 6}$ </em>

<em> $x = \frac{96}{6}$ </em>

<em> $x = 16$ </em>

<em>but</em><em> </em><em>EF</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

substitute x=16 into it to get the EF

EF= 3(16)+10

EF=48+10

EF=58

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luther. After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her. Then at 18

posledela

Part A

x = time in seconds that have gone by

y = distance in meters Superman is away from Lois

"After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her" means we have the point (x,y) = (15, 2100)

"at 18 seconds he is 1980 meters from her" tells us we have a second point (x,y) = (18,1980)

--------

Find the slope of the line through these two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1980-2100)/(18-15)

m = (-120)/(3)

m = -40

The slope is -40 which means Superman is getting 40 meters closer each second. I.e, the distance is dropping 40 meters per second

--------

Use one of the points and the slope to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2100 = (-40)*15 + b

2100 = -600 + b

2100+600 = b

b = 2700

This is the starting distance Superman is away from Lois

--------

Since m = -40 and b = 2700, we know the y = mx+b equation becomes y = -40x+2700.

Replace x with s, replace y with m. We now have m = -40s+2700

---------

<h3>Final Answer: m = -40s+2700</h3>

============================================

Part B

Plug s = 6 into the equation we found for part A. Then simplify.

m = -40s+2700

m = -40*6+2700

m = -240+2700

m = 2460

---------

<h3>Final Answer: 2460 meters</h3>
