Answer:

20.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be described by the three sides of a right angled triangle. Let the distance of the glider to the airport be represented by x, applying the Pythagoras theorem:

$/hyp/^{2}$ = $/adj1/^{2}$ + $/adj2/^{2}$

$/24/^{2}$ = $/x/^{2}$ + $/13/^{2}$

576 = $x^{2}$ + 169

$x^{2}$ = 576 - 169

= 407

x = $\sqrt{407}$

= 20.1742

x = 20.2 miles

The glider has to fly 20.2 miles to return to the airport.

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

so

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

<u>case 1)</u> For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

<u>case 2)</u> For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

<u>case 3)</u> For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

<u>case 4)</u> For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

<u>case 5)</u> For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

<u>case 6)</u> For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6

Subtract the following polynomials. Write answer in a-b-c-d order. From 4a+7b-12c subtract 8a-9b+12d

ozzi

$(4a+7b-12c)-(8a-9b+12d)\\4a+7b-12c-8a+9b-12d$

Negative multiply negative = Positive

Negative multiply positive = negative

$-8a+4a+9b+7b-12c-12d\\-4a+16b-12c-12d$

Thus the answer is -4a + 16b - 12c - 12d.

Create a factorable polynomial with a GCF of 2y. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form wa

Varvara68 [4.7K]

4y^1 + 6y^3...so factor out the GCF for another form

2y(2 + 3y^2) <== here is one form

another form would be to multiply ur equation by a multiple of ur GCF 2, such as 4

4(4y^1 + 6y^3) = 16y^1 + 24y^3 <== another form
