Answer:

9.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the pythagorean theorem to solve. A is the unknown, while b is 7 feet, and c is 12 feet

A^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

A^2 + 49 = 144

Subtract 49 from both sides to get

A^2 = 95

then take the square root of both sides to get

A (the height) = 9.74679434481

I usually round to 2 decimal points to get the answer 9.75 feet.

  our X is 30 because 3x = 90 and if we divide that by 3 then we are left with 30, I knew it was equal to 90 degrees because of the little red box that symbolizes a 90 degree angle.

  So now that we know X = 30 we can plug it in for (2x + 3y)

2(30) + 3y is equal to (60 + 3y) and if we equal that to the other side 3x and plug in for x on that side, we have a new equation of 90 = 60 + 3y so then from here we subtract 60 from both sides and are left with 30 = 3y and finally we divide 3

and our final answer is Y = 10 (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((:

(2, 4) and (6, 12) find slope
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula: change of y over change of x.

When you do that, your systems should look like this:

x1 = 2

y1 = 4

x2 = 6

y2 = 12

After that you plug these number into the corresponding variable.

(12 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 8/4 which equals 2.
