Answer:

  • 108 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The line connecting the center with the end of the walkway is radius and is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Horizontal leg is the distance x.

<u>Vertical leg has the length:</u>

  • (250)/2 - 62 = 63 ft

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x:</u>

  • x² = (250/2)² - 63²
  • x² = 125² - 63²
  • x² = 11656
  • x = √11656
  • x = 107.96 ≈ 108

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{-10 - 5}{3 - (-2)} = \frac{-15}{3 + 2} = \frac{-15}{5} = -3

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
 y - 5 = -3(x - (-2))
 y - 5 = -3(x + 2)
 y - 5 = -3(x) - 3(2)
 y - 5 = -3x - 6
   + 5         + 5
      y = -3x - 1

Mara carried water bottles to the field to share with her team at halftime. The water bottles weighed a total of 60x2 + 48x + 24
ludmilkaskok [199]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

60x ^ 2 + 48x + 24

What we must do for this case is to factor the polynomial, so that we have:

1) The number of bottles

2) the weight of each bottle.

We have then:

12 (5x ^ 2 + 4x + 2)

Answer:

A factorization that could represent the number of water bottles and weight of each water bottle is:

12 (5x ^ 2 + 4x + 2)

x will represent the first unknow number

6x will represent the second number

the two numbers together will equal 21

6x + x = 21  combine like terms

7x =21  divide both sides by 7

x =3


Hope that helps.
