What is the value of x, the side length of the smallest square (please show work) Thanks!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok lets on the biggest square we have 17 cm

17cm is the hypotenuse for the right triangle

The second largest's area is 225 cm^2

Sq root of 225 cm^2, is 15

To find x, lets plug the info we have to the pythagorean theorom

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2\\a^2 + 225 = 289\\\\289 - 225 = a^2\\64=a^2\\a = 8 cm

The side length of the smallest Square is 8 cm

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

If you like my answer and explanation, mark me as brainliest!

Can someone help me with this. Will Mark brainliest.
Mkey [24]

Answer:

no.

Step-by-step explanation:

since 2 of the sides are much longer than the shorter sides, diagonals of a rectangle will not intersect at a right angle (perpendicular) whereas a square, with all sides equal, would. This is because the distance from the center to each of the corners is the same for each corner.

Two cruise ships leave the same port with a 35° angle between their path. Cruise A is traveling at 18 miles per hour and Cruise
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20\:\mathrm{miles}

Step-by-step explanation:

After travelling two hours, the two cruise ships form a triangle. One of the legs  of this triangle will be the distance Cruise A travelled, and another will be the distance Cruise B travelled. We can find the distance they travel using:

s=\frac{d}{t}, d=s\cdot t

Cruise A is travelling at 18 miles per hour for 2 hours. Therefore, Cruise A has travelled:

d=s\cdot t=18\cdot 2=36\:\mathrm{miles}

Cruise B is travelling at 15 miles per hour for 2 hours. Therefore, Cruise B has travelled:

d=s\cdot t=15\cdot 2=30\:\mathrm{miles}

Because we are given the angle between these legs, we can use the Law of Cosines to find the third leg. The Law of Cosines is given by:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C, where a, b, and c are interchangeable. Let c represent the distance between the two cruises. We have:

c^2=36^2+30^2-2\cdot36\cdot30\cdot \cos 35^{\circ},\\c^2=426.63,\\c\approx \fbox{$20\:\mathrm{miles}$}(one significant figure).
