Charlene puts together two isosceles triangles so that they share a base, creating a kite. The legs of the triangles are 10 inch

es and 17 inches, respectively. If the length of the base for both triangles is 16 inches long, what is the length of the kite’s other diagonal?

From the information given you have:

1) Smaller diagonal of the kite: 16 inches


2) Larger diagonal of the kite: height of one triangle (h1) + height of the other triangle (h2)


3) Calculation of the height of the smaller triangle, h1:


10^2 = (16/2)^2 + (h1)^2 => h1 = √ [10^2 - 8^2] = 6


4) Calculation of the height of the larger triangle, h2


17^2 = (16/2)^2 + (h2)^2 => h2 = √[17^2  - 8^2] = 15


5) Larger diagonal = h1 + h2 = 6 + 15 = 21

Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 15 /kmh faster than the other. If
Nat2105 [25]
Since the buses travel in opposite directions, the speed at which they distance themselves is the sum of their speeds.
One bus travels at speed s.
The other bus travels at speed s + 15.
The sum of the speeds is s + s + 15 = 2s + 15

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

366 = (2s + 15) * 2

183 = 2s + 15

168 = 2s

s = 84

The slower bus travels at 84 km/h.

s + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99

The faster bus travels at 99 km/h.

Check:
In 2 hours, the slower bus travels 2 * 84 km = 168 km
In 2 hours, the faster bus travels 2 * 99 km = 198 km
In 2 hours, the buses are 198 km + 168 km = 366 km apart.
Our answer is correct.

Factor the expression:
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  B)  (4x-5i)(4x+5i)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression can be treated as the difference of squares, and factored accordingly. That factoring is ...

  a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

__

Here, we have ...

  a² -b² = 16x² -(-25)

  a² = 16x²   ⇒   a = 4x

  b² = -25   ⇒   b = √-25 = 5i

Then the factoring is ...

  (a -b)(a +b) = (4x -5i)(4x +5i)
