Answer: B. 9 inches by 9 inches

x = -13 or x = 9

x cannot be negative, so

x = 9 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the cropped photo is 9 inches by 9 inches.

Liliana decides to crop a square photo 2 inches on each side to fit it into a frame. The area of the original photo was 121 square inches. In the equation (x + 2)^2 = 121, x represents the side measure of the cropped photo.

What are the dimensions of the cropped photo?

A. 8 inches by 8 inches

B. 9 inches by 9 inches

C. 12 inches by 12 inches

D. 13 inches by 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

(x+2)^2 = 121. ....1

x = size of cropped picture.

To solve for x,

From eqn1

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 121

x^2 + 4x - 117 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation gives;

(x+13)(x-9) = 0

x = -13 or x = 9

x cannot be negative, so

x = 9 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the cropped photo is 9 inches by 9 inches.

Answer:

B. 9 inches by 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

he formula for the area of a square is length x width

For a square the length and the width are same therefore it is  

length x length = (length)²  (let’s call this first equation)

also (x + 2 )²= 121        (let’s call this second equation)

To form an equation for the cropped picture from the original picture

Length = (cut off length + new length) (third equation)

Length = ( 2 + x)           fourth equation

assuming the new lenght is x

Since 2 is the cut off length from each sides

Lets substitute first equation into second equation then we will have

Lenght² = 121

Length = √121

Length = 11

Substitute into fourth equation

Length = 11 = (x+2)

X+2 =11

X= 11 - 2

X=9

Find the value of x .. assume that segments that appear to be tangent are tangent .
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

sqrt(277) =x

x is approximately 16.64331698

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

a^2 +b^2 =c^2

9^2+14^2 =x^2

81+196 = x^2

277 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(277) =x

If angle ABD is 90 degrees. Select all of the angles that measure 42 degrees.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Measure of angle 2 and angle 4 is 42°.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

m∠ABC = 42°

m(∠ABD) = 90°

m(∠ABD) = m(∠ABC) + m(∠DBC)

90° = 43° + m(∠DBC)

m(∠DBC) = 90 - 43 = 47°

Since ∠ABC ≅ ∠4 [Vertical angles]

m∠ABC = m∠4 = 42°

Since, m∠3 + m∠4 = 90° [Complimentary angles]

m∠3 + 42° = 90°

m∠3 = 90° - 42°

        = 48°

Since, ∠5 ≅ ∠3 [Vertical angles]

m∠5 = m∠3 = 48°

m∠3 + m∠2 = 90° [given that m∠2 + m∠3 = 90°]

m∠2 + 48° = 90°

m∠2 = 90 - 48 = 42°

m∠3+ m∠4 = 90° [Since, ∠3 and ∠4 are the complimentary angles]

48° + m∠4 = 90°

m∠4 = 90 - 48 = 42°

Therefore, ∠2 and ∠4 measure 42°.
