Triangles CPA and CPB are both right triangles. They share a leg, so that leg in one triangle is congruent to that leg in the other triangle. We are given that PA is congruent to PB by the hash marks on the diagram. Thus two legs and an included angle are congruent between the triangles.

... ∆CPA ≅ ∆CPB by the SAS postulate


Then side CA ≅ CB = 15 in, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).


... CA is 15 in.

Since CB and CA are congruent. CA is 15 in.

Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) What is the value of n to the nearest whole number? 18 22 29 41
nalin [4]
We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c²<span> – 2*b*c*cos(A)
</span>
in this problem
a=?
b=20
c=9
A=90°
so
a² = b²+ c² – 2*b*c*cos(A)
but
cos (A)=0
a² = b²+ c²-----> 20²+9²----> a²=400+81----> a²=481-----> a=√481
a=21.93-----> a=22

the answer is
22

3x-y= 17<br> -x+y= -7<br><br> Help please
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

y = -2

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - y = 17

-x + y = -7

here we can find the sum of the two equations

2x = 10

x = 5

now we can just plug in the value of x to find y

-(5) + y = -7

y = -2

6-8x=7x-10x-24 solve for x
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6−8x=7x−10x−24

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6−8x=7x−10x−24

6+−8x=7x+−10x+−24

−8x+6=(7x+−10x)+(−24)(Combine Like Terms)

−8x+6=−3x+−24

−8x+6=−3x−24

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−8x+6+3x=−3x−24+3x

−5x+6=−24

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

−5x+6−6=−24−6

−5x=−30

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x/-5 = -30 /-5

x=6

8 kg of mixed nuts containing 26% peanuts were mixed with 5 kg of another kind of mixed nuts that contain 52% peanuts. peanuts a
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<em>36%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

"8 kg of mixed nuts containing 26% peanuts"

weight of peanuts: 26% * 8 kg = 0.26 * 8 kg = 2.08 kg

"5 kg ... that contain 52% peanuts"

weight of peanuts: 52% * 5 kg = 0.52 * 5 kg = 2.6 kg

Total weight of peanuts: 2.08 kg + 2.6 kg = 4.68 kg

Total weight of mixed nuts: 8 kg + 5 kg

percent of peanuts: (4.68 kg)/(13 kg) * 100% = 36%
