Answer:

x = 14.13ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

From the attachment, the length of the hypotenuse is 16.7ft

While the length of the opposite/adjacent is 8.9ft

Length x is calculated using:

16.7^2 = 8.9^2 + x^2

x^2 = 16.7^2 - 8.9^2

x^2 = 199.68

Take square roots

x = \sqrt{199.68

x = 14.13ft

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points {1,1/2} and (-1,-1)
Feliz [49]

Anytime we need to get the equation of a line, we need 2 things:

<span><span> <span>a point </span></span>a slopeSo, what do we do if we are just given 2 points and no slope?No problem -- we'll just use the 2 points to pop the slope using this guy:
</span>

Check it out:

Let's find the equation of the line that passes through the points

<span>(1,1/2) and (-1,-1)

</span>

This one's a 2-stepper...

<span>STEP 1:<span>  </span>Find the slope</span>

<span>STEP 2:<span>  </span>Now, use the point-slope formula with one of our points,<span> </span></span>

Tickets for admission to a high school football game cost $3 for students and $5 for adults. During one game, $2995 was collecte
Wittaler [7]

The solution to the equation is (325, 404) which is the point of intersection.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let x represent the number of student tickets and y represent the number of adult tickets.

It is given by the equation:

  • x + y = 729    (1)
  • 3x + 5y = 2995   (2)

The solution to the equation is (325, 404) which is the point of intersection.
