Answer:

Larger number:

16

Smaller number

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number: 16

Smaller number: 3

Explanation:

Suppose the larger number is

a

and the smaller number is

b

.

You solve the following system of equations:

a⋅b=48

a−13=b

Since b is a −13, you can plug that into a⋅b=48, so...a⋅(a−13)=48

a 2−13a=48

a2−13a−48=0

Factor the polynomial:

(a−16)(a+3)=0

a=16 or a=−3a is positive so a=16.

We can now solve for b by plugging in a, so...16−13=b3=b We have a=16 and b=3, meaning that the larger number is 16 and the smaller number is 3.

Help pls i need this luv you guys ,&lt;333
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

x ≈ 3.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus

The triangle is right with base = \frac{1}{2} x

Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then

(\frac{1}{2} x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²

\frac{1}{4} x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )

\frac{1}{4} x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{9.8} ≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

12.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between (7,21) and (-5,18)

d =sqrt( (-5-7)^2 + (18-21)^2)

  = sqrt(( -12)^2 + (-3)^2)

  = sqrt(144+9)

  = sqrt(153)

  =12.36931688

To the nearest tenth
