Answer:

14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem

The formula is given as:

c ² = a² + b ²

Where:

c = Hypotenuse

a = 8cm

b = 12 cm

Hence,

c² = 8² + 12²

c² = 64 + 144

c² = 208

We square root both sides

c = √(208)

c = 14.422205102 cm

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 14.4 cm

How do I do this question? Please Help!
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

2x+50 and 5x-55 both are congruent or have same measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to prove that both lines are parallel, this means no theorems that involve with parallel lines apply here.

First of, we know that AC is a straight line and has a measure as 180° via straight angle.

x+25 and 2x+50 are supplementary which means they both add up to 180°.

Sum of two measures form a straight line which has 180°.

Therefore:-

x+25+2x+50=180

Combine like terms:-

3x+75=180

Subtract 75 both sides:-

3x+75-75=180-75

3x=105

Divide both sides by 3.

x=35°

Thus, x = 35°

Then we substitute x = 35 in every angles/measures.

x+25 = 35°+25° = 60°

2x+50 = 2(35°)+50° = 70°+50° = 120°

5x-55 = 5(35°)-55 = 175°-55° = 120°

Since 2x+50 and 5x-55 have same measure or are congruent, this proves that both lines are parallel.

What is the value of x? -2x + 8 = - 16
umka2103 [35]
Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
     -8      -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
 -2      -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8

Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16
