Answer:
(x+16)^2=20^2+x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given there was no bending of the tree, the Pitagorean Theory would help finding the value of the trees hight.
x^2+32x+16^2=400+x^2
32x=(20-16)×(20+16)
x=144/32
x=4m and 50cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A fixed pulley consists of a wheel fixed to a shaft and is used in conjunction with a belt to transfer energy to another fixed pulley. A movable pulley consists of a shell, a movable wheel and a rope. Movable pulleys are also know as block and tackle.
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
Answer:
28.5^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is, b(base)+c(height)= b+c over 2. b+c/2.
B=19ft in this problem.
C=38ft
Knowing this, we can further simplify.
19+38/2
Now, we add 19 and 38.
(57)
57/2= 28.5
So, the anwser is 28.5^2
