These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.

There are three right triangles.

From the big right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = 25^2

From the small right triangle on the left side:


(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2

From the small right triangle on the right side

x^2 +10^2 = b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0

Use the quadratic formular to find the roots:

x = 2.1 and x = 47.9

Distance from back: 25 - 2.1 = 22.9 ft

Answer: 22.9 ft

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The support post positioned</u><u> 23 feet</u><u> far from the front of the house</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to Pythagoras Theorem

<h3>(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + ( Perpendicular)²</h3>

We need to find Base so arranging the equation will give us

(Base)² = (Hypotenuse)² -  ( Perpendicular)²

Taking under root on both sides

Base =  √(Hypotenuse)² -  ( Perpendicular)²

Base =  √ (625 - 100)

Base = √525

<h3>Base = 23 feet</h3>

Answer:

x2 =  -0.600000

x3 = -0.521600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula;

xn+1 = (xn)³-5/10

x2 = (x1)³-5/10

Given x1 = -1

x2 = (-1)³-5/10

x2 = (-1-5)/10

x2 = -6/10

x2 = -0.600000

x3 = (x3)³-5/10

Given x3 = -0.6

x3 = (-0.6)³-5/10

x3 = (-0.216-5)/10

x3 = -5.216/10

x3 = -0.521600

Samuel earned 18.90 working last weekend. He worked for 2 and 1 fourth hours. Which equation and solution represents e, the amou
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The equation that represents the amount Samuel earns per hour is "e = (total earned)/(total time worked)", on last weekend he earned 8.4 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Samuel worked a total of 2 and 1/4 hours it means that he worked:

hours worked = 2 + 1/4

hours worked = 8/4 + 1/4

hours worked = 9/4

He earned a total of 18.9 working that many hours. If we divide the total amount he earned by the number of worked hours we can find the total he earns per hour.

e = (total earned)/(total time worked)

e = 18.9/(9/4)

e = 18.9*(4/9)

e = 75.6/9

e = 8.4 per hour

The equation that represents the amount Samuel earns per hour is "e = (total earned)/(total time worked)", on last weekend he earned 8.4 per hour.
