Answer: I used the Pythagorean theorem and got 6.24, but if I was supposed to use another method, just let me know.

The formula is a^2+b^2=c^2

a=5

c=8

b=?

5^2+b^2=8^2

25+b^2=64

b^2=39

b=6.24,

(If it doesn't work, put x=6.24, x=-6.24. It can be both technically, but most teachers ask only for the first one. )

Find the slope <br><br> (3, 8) and (2, 10)

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

m = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x1 , y1 ) = ( 3 , 8) and (x2 , y2 ) = ( 2 , 10)

Now

slope (m)

= y2 - 1 / x2 - x1

= 10 - 8 / 2-3

= - 2

hope it helps :)

The floor of a shed given on the right has an area of 85 square feet. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 7

lesya692 [45]

Answer: Length = 10 feet and width = 8.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the floor.

Then length of the floor = $2x-7$

Given : The area of the floor = 85 square feet

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by :-

$A=l\times w$

$\Rightarrow\ 85=(2x-7)\times x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-7x-85=0\\\\\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49-4(2)(-85)}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{7\pm27}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{17}{2}, -5$

But dimension cannot be negative

So, the width of the floor = $x=\dfrac{17}{2}=8.5\text{ feet}$

And the length of the floor = $2(8.5)-7=10\text{ feet}$

A triangle has two angles measuring 90 and 50%, calculate the third angle of the triangle,

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the 2 given angles from 180 for third angle

third angle = 180° - (90 + 50)° = 180° - 140° = 40°
