Using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 = (√20)^2
Simplify the right side:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 = 20
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 - 20 = 0
Factor:
(x-4)(x+2) = 0
Solve for each x:
x = 4 and x = -2
The side cant be a negative value, so the answer would be x = 4
The answer is B.
Answer:
Aidan is 2 miles far from the ending point when he reaches the water station.
Step-by-step explanation:
The locations of the starting point, water station and ending point are (3, 1), (3, 7) and (3, 9), all expressed in miles. First we determine the distances between starting and ending points and between starting point and water station by the Pythagorean Theorem:
From starting point to ending point:
(Eq. 1)

From starting point to water station:
(Eq. 2)

The distance between the water station and the ending point is:
(Eq. 3)


Hence, Aidan is 2 miles far from the ending point when he reaches the water station.
Number 4 would be: C
And number 5 would be: C

All you need to do here is know where and how to plug in the numbers. In each equation, you'll have an initial fee, and an hourly fee, so your equation will be
y = i + hx, where i = the initial fee, and h = the hourly fee
So, after plugging them in, here's what you get:
Doors Galore: y = 40 + 50x
G&H: y = 60 + 40x
Hello!
Answer:

To solve, we will need to use Right-Triangle Trigonometry:
Begin by solving for angles ∠S and ∠R using tangent (tan = opp/adj)
tan ∠S = a / (1/2b)
tan ∠S = 3√5 / 14
tan ∠S ≈ 0.479
arctan 0.479 = m∠S (inverse)
m∠S and m∠R ≈ 25.6°
Use cosine to solve for the hypotenuse, or the missing side-length:
cos ∠S = 14 / x
x · cos (25.6) = 14
x = 14 / cos(25.6)
x ≈ 15.52
Both triangles are congruent, so we can go ahead and find the perimeter of the figure:
RS + RQ + QS = 28 + 15.52 + 15.52 = 59.04 units.
Hope this helped you! :)
