PLEASE HELPP !! The ceiling of Stacy's living room is a square that is 25 ft long on each side. Stacy knows the diagonal of the

ceiling from corner to corner must be longer than 25 ft, but she doesn't know how long it is. Solve for the length of the diagonal of Stacy's ceiling in two ways: (a) Using the Pythagorean Theorem. (b) Using trigonometry . Round each answer to the nearest whole number and make sure to show all your work( Hint: the answers should be the same!)

Answer:

a) d = 36 ft. ( using Pithagoras´theorem )

b) d = 36 ft  ( Using ( function sin ) trigonometry

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Using Pythagoras´Theorem:

Diagonal (d) is the hypothenuse of a right triangle of side 25 feet, and according to Pythagoras´Theorem in a right triangle.

d²  =  a²  +  b²  

In this particular case  a =  b  =  25 feet then

d² =  (25)²  +  ( 25)²

d  = √ 2 * (25)²

d  = √2   * 25

d  =  1,414*25

d  =  35,35

d = 36 ft.

b) Using trigonometry:

We know that sin 45° = cos 45° =  √2 / 2

In a right triangle

sin α  =  opposite side / hypothenuse (d)

sin 45°  =  √2 / 2   =  25/ d

√2 *d  =  2* 25

d  =  50/√2

d  =  50 / 1,414

d  =  35,36

d = 36 ft

How many different primes make up the prime factor for 180
andre [41]
When we prime factorize, we get 180=2^2*3^2*5. So therefore there are 3 prime factors that make up 180.

Write v = 2x2 + 12x +1 in vertex form.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)²  + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Given

y = 2x² + 12x + 1

To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square.

The coefficient of the x² term must be 1 , thus factor out 2 from 2x² + 12x

y = 2(x² + 6x) + 1

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 6x

y = 2(x² + 2(3)x + 9 - 9) + 1

  = 2(x + 3)² - 18 + 1

  = 2(x + 3)² - 17 → C
