Mathematics

Answer:

x = 5\sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 9² = 16²

x² + 81 = 256 ( subtract 81 from both sides )

x² = 175 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{175} = 5\sqrt{7} ≈ 13.23 units ( to 2 dec. places )

Answer:

x = 5√7

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagoras theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (altitude)² + (base)²

(hyp)² - (base)² = (alt)²

(16)² - (9)² = x²

256 - 81 = x²

x² = 175

x = √175

x = 5√7

A line goes through the point (6,-2) and has a slope of -3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<h2>a = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

- 3 =  \frac{7 -  - 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3 =  \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\  - 3a + 18 = 9 \\  - 3a = 9 - 18 \\  - 3a =  - 9

Divide both sides by - 3

\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3}  =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>a = 3</h3>

Hope this helps you
