Answer:
Sorry about the first but I'm pretty sure the second one is MJT if that's what the question is asking.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 angles add up to 90 degrees so
x + y = 90, also:-
x - y = 72 (given)
adding the 2 equations:-
2x = 162
x = 81
and therefore
y + 81 = 90
y = 9
Answer the 2 angles are 81 and 9 degrees
The equation has no solution
Let's represent the numbers by : x, x+1, x+2, x+3
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=40 The third number in the sequence is x+2
4x+6=40 8.5+2=10.5
4x+6-6=40-6 Therefore the third number in the sequence is
4x=34 10.5
4x/4=34/4
x=8.5
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet
