Using pythag a^2+b^2=16^2
16^2=256
and since a=b the equation is 2x^2=256
/ each side by 2
x^2=128
x=sq rt of 128=11.31 roughly

UPPER AND LOWER BOUNDS - PLEASE HELP!
Marianna [84]
Qn. 1
Lower bound for Zoe's weight = 62 - (1/2) = 62 - 0.5 = 61.5 kg

Qn. 2
Upper bound for length AB = 8.3+ (0.1/2) = 8.3+0.05 = 8.35 cm

Qn. 3
Upper bound for Anu's wight = 83+(0.5/2) = 83+0.25 = 83.25 kg

Qn. 4
Lower bound for length CD = 27-(0.5/2) = 27-0.25 = 26.75 cm

Qn. 5
Upper bound for sides of the hexagon = 3.6+(0.1/2) = 3.6+0.05 = 3.65 cm
Upper bound for the perimeter = upper bound for the sides*6 = 3.65*6 = 21.9 cm

Qn. 6
Perimeter = 4*length => side = Perimeter/4 = 24/4 = 6
Bound = 0.5/4 = 0.125
Lower bound of the length = 6-0.125 = 5.875 cm

Qn. 7
For the area,
Upper bound = 80+(10/2) 80+5 = 85 cm^2
For the length
Upper bound = 12+(1/2) = 12+0.5 = 12.5

Then, upper bound for the width = Upper bound for the area/upper bound for the length = 85/12.5 = 6.8 cm

Qn. 8
Lower bound for the area = 230-(1/2) = 230-0.5 = 229.5 cm^2
Lower bound for the sides of the square = Sqrt(Lower bound of the area) = Sqrt (229.5) = 15.15
Then,
Lower bound of perimeter = 4(Length) = 4*15.15 = 60.6 cm

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:x=29

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to add all the like terms together so in this case 2x and x

29,30,20,8

3x=87

Divide 3 by both sides

X=29

Arc length = 2 π R (C/360)
where:
C  is the central angle of the arc
R  is the radius of the arc

arc length = 2 π R (137/360) = 2.39R
