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>

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:12x2 + 3x + 6 + (-7)x2 - 4x - 2 = 0

12•x•2 + 3•x + 6 + (-7)•x•2 - 4•x - 2 = 0

9x = -4

x = -4/

Graph the functions on the same coordinate plane. f(x)=7 and g(x)=x^2+2x-8 . What are the solutions to the equation f(x)=g(x)?
Murrr4er [49]
If we use a graphing tool, we can plot both graphs and find the solution quickly

<span>g(x)=x^2+2x-8</span> =7 =f(x)

The solutions are x1 =-5 , x2 = 3
