Solve for x. Help ASAP please!!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
sattari [20]3 years ago

Answer:

The value of x is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, if a segment is drawn from the right angle ⊥ to the hypotenuse like the given figure, then

∵ The length of one side of the right triangle = (x + 2)

∵ The length of the hypotenuse = x + 5

∴ (x + 2)² = x (x + 5)

∵ (x + 2)² = (x + 2)(x + 2)

∴ (x + 2)(x + 2) = x(x + 5)

→ Simplify the two sides

∵ (x)(x) + (x)(2) + (2)(x) + (2)(2) = (x)(x) + (x)(5)

∴ x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 5x

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 5x

→ Subtract x² from both sides

∵ x² - x² + 4x + 4 = x² - x² + 5x

∴ 4x + 4 = 5x

→ Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ 4x - 4x + 4 = 5x - 4x

∴ 4 = x

∴ The value of x is 4

The distance from the school to the library is 12 miles. The distance from the school to the park is 75% of this distance.
strojnjashka [21]
75% of 12 can be represented with the equation 75/100=x/12

Then to solve
75(12)= 100x
900 = 100x
9=x

So the distance from the school to the park is 9 miles.

A 28 first slide at a waterpark makes an angle of 60° with the ground as it descends into a pool. What is a vertical distance fr
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The vertical distance from the top of the slide go the ground is 24.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the vertical distance from the top of the slide to the ground.

To answer this properly, we shall need the aid of a diagram. Please check the attachment for this;

Mathematically, to calculate this vertical distance, we shall be employing the use of a trigonometric ratio since the shape we are considering is a right-angled triangle

The vertical distance faces the angle given and we can refer to it as the opposite. The length of the slide refers to the hypotenuse

So the trigonometric ratio we are to use will consider the opposite and the hypotenuse

This is the sine

Mathematically sine of an angle = length of the opposite/length of the hypotenuse

let’s call the length of the opposite x

sin 60 = x/28

x = 28 sin 60

x = 24.248 which is 24.25 feet
