Answer:

40 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

It's 40 mm because the Pythagorean Theorem explains a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

This means the unknown number plus 30^2 = 50^2

What you want to do is 50^2 - 30^2= 20^2; which would be 2500-900=1600.

You got 1600 but that isn't your final answer. You want to find the square root 1600. So 1600 square rooted is 40.

40 mm is your final answer.

KiRa [710]

D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and F(4, -1)

We calculate the squared distances between the points:

$DE^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 = 5$

$EF^2=4^2+2^2=20$

$DF^2=3^2+4^2=25$

Since $DF^2=DE^2+EF^2$ we have a right triangle with hypotenuse DF.

Answer:

$x=-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We translate the phrase into an equation:

$2+3(x-5)=4(x-1)\\$

Then we simplify:

$2+3(x-5)=4(x-1)\\2+3x-15=4x-4\\-13+3x=4x-4\\-9=x$
