Answer:

i think maybe use Pythagorean Theorem :

call Kite is K

all state is S

we have KS²= KX²+ SX²

400=144+ SX²

so SX = 16, so that distance in feet between the stake and X is 16 feet

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for a missing side using the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

where a and b = the legs and h = hypotenuse

Looking at the triangle created, we notice we are given a leg ( which has a measure of 12t ) and the hypotenuse ( which has a measure of 12ft )

That being said, we plug in what we are given into the Pythagorean theorem and solve for the missing side length ( aka b )

12² + b² = 20²

step 1 simplify

12² = 144

20² = 400

we now have 144 + b² = 400

step 2 subtract 144 from each side

144 - 144 cancels out

400 - 144 = 256

we now have 256 = b²

step 3 take the square root of each side

√b² = b

√ 256 = 16

we're left with b = 16

So we can conclude that the length from the ground directly over point x to the stake is 16 feet.

( important note: The Pythagorean theorem can only be used in right triangle. )

5x^(-2)-17x^(-1)+6<br> i’m so confused pls help<br> will give brainliest
laila [671]

It's a quadratic equation in disguise. If you let y=x^{-1}, then y^2=x^{-2}, and we can rewrite the equation as

5y^2-17y+6=0

Solve for y however you like; we get y=\dfrac25 and y=3.

But we want to solve for x, so we have

y=x^{-1}=\dfrac25\implies x=\dfrac52

y=x^{-1}=3\implies x=\dfrac13

3.6.PS-8 If the simple interest on $5,000 for 9 years is $2,700, then what is the interest rate? The rate is %. .​
Arada [10]

~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\I = Prt\qquad\begin{cases}I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill &\$2700\\P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$5000\\r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\dotfill &0.0r\\t=years\dotfill &9\end{cases}\\\\\\2700=(5000)(0.0r)(9)\implies 2700=45000(0.0r)\implies \cfrac{2700}{45000}=0.0r\\\\\\\cfrac{3}{50} = 0.0r\implies \cfrac{3}{50} = \cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 100}{50}=r\implies 6 = \stackrel{\%}{r}

A car is designed to last an average of 12 years with a standard deviation of 0.8 years. What is the probability that a car will
Scorpion4ik [409]
Due to the common probability formula I can solve that task. Refering to the task you gave, we have all the information we need. We solve it like that: \frac{10-12}{0.8} = -2.5; Probability(-2.5)=.0.00621; Probability = 0.621%
So the answer is the first option <span>0.621%</span>
