Answer:

the third side is 9.43

Step-by-step explanation:

the length from his head to the shadow of his head is the same as

$5^{2}$ + $8^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

so we solve this to get c = 9.43

guy wire attached to a telephone pole makes a 67-degree angle with the ground. at a point 20ft farther out from the guy wire the

It is best to draw the situation given above to understand the problem better. You will see that there are two right triangles that can be made. One would have the angle 67 degrees and the other with angle 35 degrees. We calculation as follows:

From the triangles, we can set up two equations with two unknowns:
tan 67 = h/x
tan 35 = h/(20+x)

h = 19.93 ft

One number is equal to the square of another. Find the numbers if both are positive and their sum is 380.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

19 and -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Call that number is x, we have:

$x + x^2 = 380\\(x^2 + 2*x*\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} ) -\frac{1521}{4} =0\\(x+\frac{1}{2})^2 =\frac{1521}{4} \\First situation: x + \frac{1}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{1521}{4} } =\frac{39}{2} \\x = \frac{39}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 19\\Second situation: x + \frac{1}{2} =- \sqrt{\frac{1521}{4} } =-\frac{39}{2} \\\\x =- \frac{39}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = -20\\\\In conclusion, x= 19 and x=-20$ Brainliest, please? It costs me so much time!
