Answer:

C) 4.0 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  It states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse; algebraically,

a²+b² = c²

The height splits the base in two, giving us a leg of 3.  The hypotenuse is 5.  This gives us:

3²+b² = 5²

9+b² = 25

Subtract 9 from each side:

9+b²-9 = 25-9

b² = 16

Take the square root of each side:

√b² = √16 = 4

Find the value of y if the value of x is 2 for each equation and match it with the appropriate result.
Xelga [282]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3, 0, 2, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x=2 into each equation and solve for y.

<u>2 + y = 5</u>

  y = 5 -2

  y = 3

<u>3x +2y = 6</u>

  3·2 +2y = 6

  2y = 6 -6 = 0

  y = 0

<u>2x +y = 6</u>

  2·2 +y = 6

  y = 6 -4

  y = 2

<u>5x +3y = 4</u>

  5·2 +3y = 4

  3y = 4 -10 = -6

  y = -2

Solve whether the equation have 1 solution no solution or infinity solution
babymother [125]
Steps to solving equations:
Simplify/combine the like terms
Isolate the variable (Get the variable on one side
Solve for the variable

-2y - 7 + 5y = 13 - 2y Simplify/Combine terms
3y -7 = 13 - 2y Isolate variable by adding 2y to both sides
5y - 7 = 13 Add 7 to both sides to get y alone on one side
5y = 20 Divide by 5 on both sides to solve for y
y = 4
You can check your answer by replacing y with 4 in the original equation.

Find the measure of the missing angles. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Ivahew [28]
D = 90
This is because any line is equal to 180 degrees, we see that d is situated on a line that continues into another angle, the other angle is 90 degrees, so we minus 90 from 180, to get 90.

E = 99
E is situated on a line with the other angle F, F = 81 (see below) so we minus 81 from 180


F = 81
F is situated on a line, we minus it from the other angle situated on the same line, so we minus 99 from 180to get 81

Hope this helps! Please make me the brainliest, it’s not necessary but appreciated, I put a lot of effort and research into my answers. Have a good day, stay safe and stay healthy.

How many computers must the AB Computer Company sell to break even? Let x be the number of computers.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

R(x)=1.5x -----> equation A

C(x)=145+\frac{1}{4}x ----> equation B

where

C is the cost function

R is the revenue function

x is the number of computers sold

we know that

Break even is when the cost is equal to the revenue

so

equate equation A and equation B

1.5x=145+\frac{1}{4}x

Solve for x

subtract 1/4x both sides

1.5x-\frac{1}{4}x=145

1.5x-0.25x=145

1.25x=145

Divide by 1.25 both sides

x=116

therefore

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Debra found that 6 of the 24 students in her class own a cell phone . What is the ratio of students that own a cell phone to stu
ale4655 [162]
6:18 students in Debra's class own a cellphone. Because there are 24 people in total. Minus the people who already own cellphones. Leaving 18 without cellphones. The ratio is people who have cellphones to people who do not. 
24-6=18. Thus, the ratio would be 6:18
