Given the right triangle below what is x?

Mathematics

Answer:

B 10.8 or

A 9.2 depending on what side of the triangle is "x".

Step-by-step explanation:

we cannot see the triangle and which side is which. you forgot to show us the picture (or describe it in more detail).

but I assume that "x" would be the Hypotenuse (the baseline of the right triangle, the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

then by using Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

=>

x² = 10² + 4² = 116

x = sqrt(116) = 10.8

but if x is any of the other sides (and not the Hypotenuse), then you need to adapt the calculation.

for example, if the Hypotenuse is the side with 10, then Pythagoras' formula would look like this

10² = x² + 4²

x² = 10² - 4² = 84

x = sqrt(84) = 9.2 (and answer A would be correct).

or if the Hypotenuse is the side with 4, then

4² = x² + 10²

x² = 4² - 10² = -84

x = sqrt(-84)

and that did not make any sense for real distances. so, this configuration is actually impossible for a right triangle.

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair. 
Ksivusya [100]
L.H.S is already equal, so just subtract 1st equation from second, 
2y = 12
y = 6

Now, substitute it in 1st equation, 
2(6) = 4x + 8
4x = 12 - 8
x = 4/4
x = 1

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) (1, 6)

Hope this helps!

It takes Juwan exactly 35 minutes by car to get to his grandmother's the nearest parking area is 4 minute walk from her apartmen
liq [111]

It takes him 35 + 4 = 39 total minutes one way, so it would take him 39 x 2 = 78 minutes for 1 round trip.

convert 5 hours and 12 minutes into minutes: 1 hour = 60 minutes.

5 hours x 60 minutes = 300 minutes.

300 + 12 = 312 total minutes for the week.

Divide total minutes by minutes per round trip:

312 / 78 = 4 round trips total

The answer is 670.
this is because 96 plus 287 is 383.
so he sold 287 on the 1st day, and 383 on the second day.
383 plus 287 equals 670.

Simplest form of 2/10
slega [8]
To simplify fractions, all you have to do is divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of both integers.

In this case, the greatest common factor of 2 and 10 is 2.

2/2=1
10/2=5

So, 2/10 in its simplest form is 1/5.
