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>

If P(x)= 3x^4 - 5x^3 - 17x^2 + 13x + 6, and P(1)=0, and P(-2)=0, then the factorization of P(x) is?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(3x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P(1) = 0 and P(- 2) = 0, then

(x - 1) and (x + 2) are factors of P(x)

(x - 1)(x + 2) = x² + x - 2 ← is also a factor of P(x)

dividing 3x^{4} - 5x³ - 17x² + 13x + 6 by x² + x - 2 gives

P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(3x² - 8x - 3) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(3x + 1)

What is the measure of the missing angle?<br> PICTURE BELOW \/
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The measure of the missing angle is 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ This figure is a quadrilateral

∴ the sum of measures of its angles = 360°

∴ m∠x = 360 - 107 - 72 - 91 = 90°
