Your answer simplified should be 1.6 or 1 3/5
=)
Answer:
5.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the various lengths is ...
cd² = ac² +ad²
cd² = (2.4 m)² + (1.8 m)² = 9.00 m²
cd = √(9.00 m²) = 3.0 m
Since cd = cb and ab = ac+cb, we have ...
ab = 2.4 m + 3.0 m = 5.4 m
_____
You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 0.6. We are asked for the sum of the lengths of the "4" and "5" legs, which is ...
0.6·(4+5) = 5.4
Answer:
y = -3, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula is (b/2)^2
So...
(y+7/2)^2 - 1/4 = 0
Add 1/4 to each side
(y+7/2)^2 = 1/4
Square root...
y+7/2 = +-1/2
Add
y = -3, -4
