How do you find x? and how do you round to the nearest tenth?

Hey there!

In order to solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is c^2 = a^2 + b^2. Since the Pythagorean Theorem would find only half of the length of x, we'll need to double it in the end.

First, let's plug in what we know to the Pythagorean Theorem: 2.1^2 = 1.4^2 + b^2

Next, we'll simplify to that b^2 is by itself:

b^2 = 2.45

Then, we'll find the square root of 2.45, multiply that by 2 and round to the nearest tenth:

2(\sqrt{2.45} ) = 3.1

Therefore, x = 3.1 ft.


How to round to the nearest tenth:

In a decimal, the tenth is the first number after the decimal point. To round to the tenth, if the number in the hundredth place is less than 5, you keep the number as it is, but if the number in the hundredth place is more than 5, you increase the number in the tenth place by 1.


Hope this helps!! :)

brilliants [131]
This problem basically already gives you X, you just have to simplify.

To complete this problem all you have to do is divide 11 by 9.6

11 / 9.6 = 1.15

So X = 1.15

Jake has decided to invest in three business ventures. The total cost of investing in all three ventures is $15,000. The combine
Arte-miy333 [17]
X = first venture, y = second venture, z = third venture

x + y + z = 15,000
x + z = y + 7000
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
these are ur equations.....

x + y + z = 15,000
x - y + z = 7000
--------------------add
2x + 2z = 22,000

x + y + z = 15,000....multiply by -2
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
-------------------
-2x - 2y - 2z = - 30,000 (result of multiplying by -2)
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
------------------add
x = 9,000

2x + 2z = 22,000
2(9000) + 2z = 22000
18,000 + 2z = 22000
2z = 22000 - 18000
2z = 4000
z = 4000/2
z = 2,000

x + y + z = 15,000
9000 + y + 2000 = 15,000
11,000 + y = 15,000
y = 15,000 - 11,000
y = 4,000

first venture (x) = 9,000 <==
second venture (y) = 4,000 <==
third venture (z) = 2,000 <==

A car owner buys diesel at rs 7.50, rs 8, rs 8.50 per litre for three successive years. what approximately is the average cost p
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Average cost per litre of diesel = rs 8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent on diesel each year = rs 4000

Price of a litre of diesel in the first year = rs 7.50

Price of a litre of diesel in the second year = rs 8.00

Price of a litre of diesel in the third year = rs 8.50

Average cost per litre of diesel = \frac{p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3}  }{n}

where n is the number of years.

Average cost per litre of diesel  =  \frac{7.5 + 8.00 + 8.50}{3}

                                                     = \frac{24}{3}

                                                     = 8

Average cost per litre of diesel is rs 8.00

So that he buys an average of 500 (i.e \frac{4000}{8}) litres every year.
