How do you complete the other two?

For now, I'll focus on the figure in the bottom left.

Mark the point E at the base of the dashed line. So point E is on segment AB.

If you apply the pythagorean theorem for triangle ABC, you'll find that the hypotenuse is

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt(a^2+b^2)

c = sqrt((8.4)^2+(8.4)^2)

c = 11.879393923934

which is approximate. Squaring both sides gets us to

c^2 = 141.12

So we know that AB = 11.879393923934 approximately which leads to (AB)^2 = 141.12

------------------------------------

Now focus on triangle CEB. This is a right triangle with legs CE and EB, and hypotenuse CB.

EB is half that of AB, so EB is roughly AB/2 = (11.879393923934)/2 = 5.939696961967 units long. This squares to 35.28

In short, (EB)^2 = 35.28 exactly. Also, (CB)^2 = (8.4)^2 = 70.56

Applying another round of pythagorean theorem gets us

a^2+b^2 = c^2

b = sqrt(c^2 - a^2)

CE = sqrt( (CB)^2 - (EB)^2 )

CE = sqrt( 70.56 - 35.28 )

CE = 5.939696961967

It turns out that CE and EB are the same length, ie triangle CEB is isosceles. This is because triangle ABC isosceles as well.

Notice how CB = CE*sqrt(2) and how CB = EB*sqrt(2)

------------------------------------

Now let's focus on triangle CED

We just found that CE = 5.939696961967 is one of the legs. We know that CD = 8.4 based on what the diagram says.

We'll use the pythagorean theorem once more

c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

ED = sqrt( (CE)^2 + (CD)^2 )

ED = sqrt( 35.28 + 70.56 )

ED = 10.2878569196893

This rounds to 10.3 when rounding to one decimal place (aka nearest tenth).

<h3>Answer: 10.3</h3>

==============================================================

Now I'm moving onto the figure in the bottom right corner.

Draw a segment connecting B to D. Focus on triangle BCD.

We have the two legs BC = 3.7 and CD = 3.7, and we need to find the length of the hypotenuse BD.

Like before, we'll turn to the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 )

BD = sqrt( (BC)^2 + (CD)^2 )

BD = sqrt( (3.7)^2 + (3.7)^2 )

BD = 5.23259018078046

Which is approximate. If we squared both sides, then we would get (BD)^2 = 27.38 which will be useful in the next round of pythagorean theorem as discussed below. This time however, we'll focus on triangle BDE

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

b = sqrt( c^2 - a^2 )

ED = sqrt( (EB)^2 - (BD)^2 )

x = sqrt( (5.9)^2 - (5.23259018078046)^2 )

x = sqrt( 34.81 - 27.38 )

x = sqrt( 7.43 )

x = 2.7258026340878

x = 2.7

--------------------------

As an alternative, we could use the 3D version of the pythagorean theorem (similar to what you did in the first problem in the upper left corner)

The 3D version of the pythagorean theorem is

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2

where a,b,c are the sides of the 3D block and d is the length of the diagonal. In this case, a = 3.7, b = 3.7, c = x, d = 5.9

So we get the following

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2

c = sqrt( d^2 - a^2 - b^2 )

x = sqrt( (5.9)^2 - (3.7)^2 - (3.7)^2 )

x = 2.7258026340878

x = 2.7

Either way, we get the same result as before. While this method is shorter, I think it's not as convincing to see why it works compared to breaking it down as done in the previous section.

An engineering scale model shows a church that is 2 inches tall. if the scale is 1 inch = 256 feet, how tall is the actual churc
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Actual height of church = 512 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale model;

1 inch = 256 feet

Height of church (Scale model) = 2 inches

Find:

Actual height of church

Computation:

Actual height of church = Height of church (Scale model) x scale length

Actual height of church = 2 inches x 256 feet/inches

Actual height of church = 2 x 256 feet

Actual height of church = 512 feet

Aregular polygon is drawn in a circle so that each vertex is on the circle and is connected to the center by a radius. Each of
katrin [286]

Answer:

The number of sides the polygon have 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as :

For The circle ,  the central angles measure be 40 °

Let the number of sides of polygon =  n

Now . as we know

External angle =  \frac{360^{\circ} }{n}

Or ,           40° = \frac{360^{\circ} }{n}

Or, \frac{360^{\circ} }{n} = 40°

Or, \frac{360^{\circ} }{n} = 40°

So, n = \frac{360^{\circ} }{40^{\circ}} = 9

Hence The number of sides the polygon have 9      Answer

Solve 2x-3&lt; 2<br>please answer it fast ​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

x<5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

2x−3<2

Add 3 to both sides.

2x−3 +3 <2 +3

which makes

2x<5

Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 < 5/2

x<5/2
