Use Pythagoras theorem,
c² =a² +b²
x² =10² +10<span>²
</span>x<span>² =100+100
</span>x<span>² =200
</span>x=14.14
x=14.1

An office building loses a third of its heat between sundown and midnight and an additional half of the original amount of heat

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of Heat Loss Between sundown and midnight $=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Proportion of Heat Loss between midnight and 4 AM $=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Proportion of Total Heat Already Lost $=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{2} =\dfrac{5}{6}$

Proportion of Remaining Heat $=1-\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}$

Between 4 AM and 5 AM, five-eighths of the remaining heat is lost.

Proportion of Heat Loss between 4 AM and 5 AM= $\dfrac{5}{8}$ X \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{5}{48}$

Therefore, Proportion of Remaining Heat Left $=\dfrac{1}{6}- \dfrac{5}{48}=\dfrac{1}{16}$

We therefore say that:

$\dfrac{1}{16}$ of the total heat loss occurs between 5 AM and sunrise.$

Vanessa draws one side of an equilateral triangle ABC on the coordinate plane at points A(-2, 1) and B (4, 1). What are the two

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

two vertex are: (1 , 6.2) , (1 , - 4.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-2, 1) and B (4, 1) AB is a parallel segment with x axis

The 3rd vertex P (x , y) will locate at the mid point of AB

x = (-2) + (4 - (-2)) /2 = 1 P (1 , y)

length AB = 4 - (-2) = 6

AP = AB (equilateral)

BP² = (4 - 1)² + (1 - y)² = 6²

1 - 2y + y² = 36 - 9 = 27

y² - 2y -26 = 0

y = ((-(-2)) ± √(-2)² - 4 x (-26)) / 2 = (2 ± √108) / 2 = 1 ± 5.2

y = 6.2 or y = -4.2

P (1 , 6.2) or P ( 1 , -4.2)
