Answer:

96feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height, in inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray

To get the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head, we will simply substitute x =2 into the function and et the height h as shown;

From the equation

ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

h(2) = 160-16(2)²

h(2) = 160-16(4)

h(2) = 160-64

h(2) = 96feet

Hence the height will be 96feet if the spray is 2feet away from the sprinklers head

The longest side of a triangle is 5 inches. Longer than the shortest side. The medium side is 4 inches. Longer than the shortest
Llana [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is L = 10 in , M = 9 in ; S = 5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

longest side = 5 + x in

medium side = 4 + x in

shortest side = x

Perimeter = 24 in

Process

1.- Write and equation to solve this problem

    Perimeter = longest side + medium side + shortest side

Substitution

             24 = (5 + x) + (4 + x) + x

Simplification

            24 = 5 + x + 4 + x + x

            24 = 9 + 3x

            24 - 9 = 3x

                  15 = 3x

                   x = 15/3

                   x = 5

2.- Calculate the lengths of the side

Longest side = 5 + 5 = 10 in

Medium side = 5 + 4 = 9 in

Shortest side = 5 in

234.25$ : 100 = 252.99$ : x

234.25x = 252.99 x 100

234.25x = 25299

25299 divided by 234.25 is 108
