Answer:

10\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of any square with side length s is equal to s\sqrt{2}. Since the side length of the square is 10, the diagonal must be \boxed{10\sqrt{2}}.

To support and prove this:

The diagonal creates two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both of these triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in any triangle, the sum of the squares of both legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (a^2+b^2=c^2).

Call the diagonal d. In these two triangles, both legs are equal to 10 (the side lengths of the square), and the hypotenuse is the diagonal. Thus, we have:

10^2+10^2=d^2,\\100+100=d^2,\\d^2=200,\\d=\sqrt{200}=\sqrt{100}\cdot \sqrt{2}=\boxed{10\sqrt{2}}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The side making up the top triangle is also 10.

a^2 + b^2 = x^2             Pythagoras

Givens

a = b                              Property of a square

a = 10

b = 10

Solution

10^2 + 10^2 = x^2

100 + 100 = x^2

x^2 = 200

x^2 = 2 * 100

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(2 * 100)

x = 10*sqrt(2)

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

c appears to be the better description as the line on the left has a solid circle at x = 1 indicating it is defined for x ≤ 1

While the line on the right has an open circle at x = 1 indicating it is defined for x > 1

Both line segments have a negative slope, thus

y = - 2x + 1 x > 1

y = - x + 2 : x ≤ 1

Can someone help me with this question in so confused
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

D(1, 2) → D'(2, 7)

E(-3, -5) → E'(-10, 0)

F(4, -1) → F'(11, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

D(1, 2) → D'   ________

Translate image (3x - 1, y + 5)

(1, 2), x = 1 and y = 2

3x - 1 = 3(1) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2

y + 5 = (2) + 5 = 7

E(-3, -5) → E' ________

(-3, -5), x = -3 and y = -5

3x - 1 = 3(-3) - 1 = -9 - 1 = -10

y + 5 = (-5) + 5 = 0

F(4, -1) → F'   ________

(4, -1), x = 4 and y = -1

3x - 1 = 3(4) - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

y + 5 = (-1) + 5 = 4

What is... X/2 - 13 = 1
kow [346]
X ÷ 2 - 13 = 1
Write the division as a fraction
\frac{1}{2}x - 13 = 1
Multiple both sides of the equation by 2
2 \times  \frac{1}{2}x  \times  - 2 \times 13 = 12
Reduce the number with greatest common divisor 2
x - 2 \times 3 = 2
Multiply the numbers
- 2 \times 13
Then u will have
x - 26 = 2
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite sides
x - 26 + 26 = 2 + 26
Eliminate the opposites
- 26 + 26
Then you have
x = 2 + 26
Add the numbers
x = 28
