Answer:

Case 1:

AB = 30

BC = 50

Case 2:

AB = 15.9

BC = 36.7

Case 3: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration of each case

Required

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2

This gives:

AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2

AB^2 = 576 + 324

AB^2 = 900

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{900

AB = 30

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2

40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2

1600 = 576 + NC^2

Collect like terms

NC^2 = 1600 - 576

NC^2 = 1024

Take square roots

NC = \sqrt{1024

NC = 32

So:

BC = NC + BN

BC = 32 + 18

BC = 50

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2

This gives:

24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2

576 = AB^2 + 324

Collect like terms

AB^2 = 576 - 324

AB^2 = 252

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{252

AB = 15.9

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

40^2 = 252 + BC^2

1600 = 252 + BC^2

Collect like terms

BC^2 = 1600 - 252

BC^2 = 1348

Take square roots

BC = \sqrt{1348

BC = 36.7

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)

What is the y-intercept of the linear equation x-3y=-6?
IceJOKER [234]

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0.

0 - 3y = -6

-3y = -6

y = 2

The y-intercept of the equation is the point (0, 2).

The mean age of swimers for all of these teams is 10. what does a large mad tell you.eade help​
aev [14]
Answer: Larger the MAD tells us that the ages of swimmer are far from the mean age. Thus means is not a relevant indicator for the data.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the mean absolute deviation (MAD) helps to know whether the mean of a data is a worthy indicator for the data values .
The larger the MAD tells us the values are spread out far from the mean .
Also, larger the MAD makes the mean less worthy as an indicator of the data elements within the data set.

I need help with these problems please
katovenus [111]

Answer:

1. Reflection

2. Dilation

3. Rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey!

You can tell number one is a reflection because it didn’t change side or turn upside down or anything, it just flipped over to the other side.

You can tell number two is a dilation because it changes size.

You can tell number three is rotation because it rotated.

Hope this helps! :D
