Answer:
C) 37
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(PQ)=RQ
2.5x+17=6x-11
17=3.5x-11
28=3.5x
x=8
RQ=6(8)-11
RQ=48-11
RQ=37
Answer:
X=9 and X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So you want to get one side to equal zero so you can factor and find x. I recommend subtracting 14x and adding 45 to both sides so you don't have to deal with a negative quadratic.
X^2 - 14X +45 = 0
Now you can factor. Your looking for two factors that equal 45 and add to -14
All factors of 45:
1 and 45, 3 and 15, 5 and 9, -1 and -45,
-3 and -15, -5 and -9
So out of those combinations -5 and -9 both multiply to 45 and add up to -14 so these are our common factors
(X-5)(X-9)=0
X-5=0 add 5 to both sides X=5
X-9=0 add 9 to both sides X=9
Answer:3/2-(√5)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle is
baseline × height / 2
so, we know in our case
b(b+12) = 189 cm²
b² + 12b - 189 = 0
let's try to solve this by completing the square.
that means we try to find the expression
(b + k)² + c
that is equal to
b² + 12b - 189
(b + k)² + c = b² + 2kb + k² + c = b² + 12b - 189
so,
2k = 12
k = 6
and then
k² + c = -189
6² + c = -189
36 + c = -189
c = -225
(b + 6)² - 225 = 0
(b + 6)² = 225
b + 6 = 15
b = 9
so, the baseline b = 9 cm.
the height b+12 = 9+12 = 21 cm.
