Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - a

If a is a perfect square we could factor

x^2 - b^2 = (x-b)(x+b)

So a cannot be 36,49,81 since they are perfect squares

a must be 12

Answer:

$174.66\ mi$ or $175\ mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the law of cosines

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2(a)(b)cos(C)$

In this problem we have

$a=200\ mi$

$b=30\ mi$

$C=30\°$

substitute the values

$c^{2}=200^{2}+30^{2}-2(200)(30)cos(30\°)$

$c^{2}=30,507.695$

$c=174.66\ mi$

Answer:

$\sqrt{37}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d between a point (m , n ) and a line in the form

Ax + By + C = 0 , is calculated as

d = $\frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }$

Here (m, n ) = (6, 2 ) and

6x - y = - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

6x - y + 3 = 0 → A = 6, B = - 1, C = 3

d = $\frac{|6(6)+-1(2)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }$

= $\frac{|36-2+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }$

= $\frac{|37|}{\sqrt{37} }$

= $\frac{37}{\sqrt{37} }$ × $\frac{\sqrt{37} }{\sqrt{37} }$

= $\frac{37\sqrt{37} }{37}$ ← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

= $\sqrt{37}$
