Answer:
169/4
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 13x + c
x² -2(x)(13/2) +(13/2)²
(13/2)² = 169/4 or 42 ¼
168
You add 4, 1, and 2 to get 7. You put 4/7=x/294. Then you use proportions to solve for x.
7x=1176
x=168
16/3 is rational simply because it is a fraction made up of whole numbers.
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions made up of whole numbers.
Using the Sine rule,

Hence, the length of wire AP (x) is 9.14m.
For wire BP (y)m,
Sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees,


Using the side rule to find the length of wire BP,

Hence, the length of wire BP (y) is 12.31m
Therefore, the length of the wires are (9.14m and 12.31m).
