Answer:
x = 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the base of the triangle. The base of the triangle is half of 'x'. Let's call the base 'y' for now.
To find 'y' we must use this formula,
'c' is the hypotenuse, the longer side, and 'b' is the other short side.
Sub in the numbers for 'c' and 'b',
= 2.45
Square root both sides to get 'y' by itself,
y = 1.5652.....
Remember that 'y' is half of x? Simply multiply 'y' by 2 to get an answer for 'x',
x = 1.5652.... x 2
= 3.1 ft (1 d.p. nearest tenth)
Hope this helped!!
Answer:
16x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
You know how to compute the perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W:
P = 2(L+W)
Here, you're asked to use the given algebraic expressions for length and width and simplify the result of putting those in the perimeter formula.
P = 2((5x-2) +(3x+1))
P = 2(8x -1)
P = 16x -2 . . . the perimeter of the rectangle
A= 1/2 bxh because if you are trying to find area you have to use the the formula A=1/2 bxh
Yes this is using the transitive property
Point A leads to point B, B goes to C, so overall A goes to C. Think of it connecting a chain.
Nice job on getting the correct answer.
