Answer: x = 16°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, which means all angles add up to 180°.
One of the angle is already determined to be 90°, that means the sum of the other two angles must also be 90° in order to meet a total of 180°.

This means (x+26)° + 3x° = 90°.

Solve for x:

x + 26 + 3x = 90

x + 3x = 90 - 26

4x = 64

x = 64 ÷ 4 = 16°

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to know the max degrees in this figure

Since the shape is a right triangle, then the max degrees is 180°

Now that box in the triangle indicates that the angle measures 90°

180° - 90° = 90°

so for both missing angles, we're going to create a equation that satisfy to 90°

$(x+26)+(3x)=90$

First subtract the 26 from both sides (on 90 and on the equation)

$x+3x=64$ (We're left with this)

64 = 3x + x

64 = 3(16) + 16

64 = 48 + 16

64 = 64

x = 16

A baseball is hit and its height is given by h = 29.4t – 4. 9t^2, where h is the

ioda

Answer:

44.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a quadratic function which represents the height and time of a baseball

$\displaystyle h = 29.4t - 4.9 {t}^{2}$

we want to figure out maximum height of

the baseball

since the given function is a quadratic function so we have a parabola

which means figuring out the maximum height is the same thing as figuring out the maximum y coordinate (vertex)

to do so we can use some special formulas

recall that,

$\displaystyle \rm t= \frac{ - b}{ 2a}$

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=f(t)$

notice that, our given function is not in standard form i.e

$\displaystyle f(x) = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

let's make it so

$\displaystyle h = - 4.9 {t}^{2} + 29.4t$

therefore we got

our <em>a</em> is -4.9 and <em>b </em>is 29.4

so substitute:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -( 29.4)}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

remove parentheses and change its sign:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ - 9.8}$

simplify division:

$\displaystyle \: t = 3$

so we have figured out the time when the baseball will reach the maximum height

now we have to figure out the height

to do so

substitute the got value of time to our given function

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot {3}^2$

simplify square:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot 9$

simplify mutilation:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=88.2-44.1$

simplify substraction:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=44.1$

hence,

the maximum height of the baseball is 44.1 metres
