i think 15 is the right answer
Answer:
base : 30 cm
height : 20 cm
perimeter : 92 cm
Area : 400 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
base : 30 cm
height : 20 cm
perimeter : 27 + 30 + 25 + 10
: 92 cm
Area : (1/2 ( a + b) ) x h
: (1/2 ( 10 + 30) ) x 20
: (20) x 20
: 400 cm
Answer:
m∠RQS = 72°
m∠TQS = 83°
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠RQS +m ∠TQS = m∠RQT
The two angles combine to make a larger angle
So
m∠RQS = (4x - 20)
m∠TQS = (3x + 14)
(4x - 20) + (3x + 14) = 155
Group the Xs and the constants
4x + 3x - 20 + 14 = 155
Combine like terms
7x - 6 = 155
Add 6 to both sides
7x = 161
Divide by 7 on both sides
x = 23
Check:
4(23) - 20 + 3(23) + 14 = 155
92 - 20 + 69 + 14 = 155
155 = 155
But we need to find m∠RQS and m∠TQS. So plug in x = 23 to the values.
m∠RQS = 4(23) - 20 = 72°
m∠TQS = 3(23) + 14 = 83°
Checking:
72 + 83 = 155
The answer: The absolute value
Answer:
w= 9
Step-by-step explanation:

Square both sides:
-4w +61= (w -4)²

Expand:
-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²
-4w +61= w² -8w +16
Simplify:
w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0
w² -4w -45= 0
Factorize:
(w -9)(w +5)= 0
w -9= 0 or w +5= 0
w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)
Note:
-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.
<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>
When solving an equation such as x²= 4,
we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.
In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.
However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.
