Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add  (x^2+3x)  to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9

A triangle has sides measuring 7 centimeters and 13 centimeters that form an angle measuring 44°. Which of these is CLOSEST to t
Oliga [24]

Answer:

9.3 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the third side of the triangle is c, then according to the Law of Cosines, c2 = 72 + 132 – 2(7)(13)(cos 44°). The value of c2 can be simplified to approximately 49 + 169 – 130.9198, or 87.0802, using a calculator. By taking the square root of 87.0802, the length of the third side of the triangle comes out to be approximately 9.3 centimeters.
