Find the value of x to the nearest tenth

Mathematics

Answer:

x ≈ 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle on the left

let third side be h , then

h² + 9² = 10²

h² + 81 = 100 ( subtract 81 from both sides )

h² = 19

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle on the right

x² + 3² = h²

x² + 9 = 19 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{10} ≈ 3.2 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

Look below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Good ol' Pythagorean Theorem.

To find the short side of the larger triangle, we'll use this equation:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\\\9^2+b^2=10^2\\81+b^2=100\\

You can solve the rest on your own.

Use the same type of equation for the smaller triangle, except your b would be the hypotenuse, so that equation would look something like this:

3^2+x^{2} = b^2

Hope it helped! Also, there seems to be a help video, if you didn't understand this explanation, why don't you go ahead and watch it?

Stolb23 [73]
This is a proportion problem. Let the monument me x feet tall.
40/x=5/6
Cross multiply:
240=5x
x=48 ft.
So the monument is 48 ft tall,

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
2x^2 - 11 = 87
2x^2 = 87 + 11 = 98
x^2 = 98/2 = 49
x = sqrt (49) =  + or - 7

A fair 20 sided dice is rolled 1000 times. how many times would you expect to roll a 6?
Marta_Voda [28]
Well the probability of rolling a six on it would be 1/20.

So, if you're rolling it 1,000 times, 1,000 x 1/20 = 50.

You would roll a six approximately 50 times.
