Answer:

5.415m and 2.585m long

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2 (Pythagoras theorem)

Given

hypotenuse = 6m

height(opposite) = h meters

Adjacent = (8-h)m

Substitute into the expression above;

6² = h²+(8-h)²

36 = h²+64-16h+h²

36 = 2h²-16h+64

2h²-16h+64-36 = 0

2h²-16h+28= 0

Divide through by 2

h²-8h+14 = 0

Using the general formula

h = 8±√8²-4(14)/2

h = 8±√64-56/2

h = 8±√8/2

h = 8±2.83/2

h = 8+2.83/2 and 8-2.83/2

h = 10.83/2 and 5.17/2

h = 5.415 and 2.585

hence the length of the height of the right triangle are 5.415m and 2.585m long

Replace each * with a number to make */24 > 1/4> 4/* a true statement
zzz [600]

Answer:

first * can be any number greater than 6

second * can be any number larger than 16

Step-by-step explanation:

take each part alone:

  • */24 > 1/4

multiply by 24 in both sides → * > 6

  • 1/4 > 4/*

multiply by 4 in both sides → 1 > 16/*

take * to first side → * > 16

there is no specific answers you can go with 8 and 18

3(2v + 1)= -15(v5 + 16)
Fynjy0 [20]
<span>3(2v + 1)= -15(5v + 16)
6v + 3 = -75v - 240 (Add 75v onto each side)
+75v       +75v
81v + 3 = 240 (Subtract 3 on each side)
          -3      -3
81v = -243

v = -3

Please help me with this problem
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

37°

Step-by-step explanation:

since <1 +<6=180° (sum of co interior angles)

143°+<6= 180°

<6=180°-143°

<6= 37°

m<6=m<7 (vertically opposite angles)

Hence m<6=37°

m<7=37°

Answer:

f(n) = 16(0.5)ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Find f(1) for each option.

a) f(1) = 16(0.5)¹⁻¹ = 16

b) f(1) = 32(0.5)¹⁻¹ = 32

c) f(1) = 16(0.5)¹ = 8

d) f(1) = 32(0.5)¹⁺¹ = 8

Only the first option matches the table.
