Answer:

  1. x = 2
  2. r = 48
  3. 3536 ft
  4. √10
  5. 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  x² + (x+3)² = (√29)²

  2x² +6x +9 = 29 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  2x² +6x -20 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 29

  x² +3x -10 = 0  . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x +5)(x -2) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

x = -5 or +2 . . . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero (-5 is extraneous)

The value of x is 2.

__

2. Even though the figure is drawn incorrectly the Pythagorean theorem still applies. (The second attachment shows the circle in the right place. The figure is not to scale.)

  14² + r² = (r+2)²

  196 + r² = r² +4r +4 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  192 = 4r . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract r²+4 from both sides

  48 = r . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The value of r is 48.

__

3. You will recognize that the triangle involving the distance above the ground, the distance along the ground, and the straight-line bullet path is an isosceles right triangle. So, the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of either leg. The path length of the bullet is ...

  (2500 ft)√2 ≈ 3536 ft

__

4. see below for the diagram

The length to the terminal point is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  d = √(3² +(-1)²) = √10

The distance from the origin to the terminal point is √10 ≈ 3.16.

__

5. Angles "a" and "8a" total 90°, so we have ...

  a + 8a = 90°

  9a = 90° . . . . . . . . collect terms

  a = 10° . . . . . . . . . . divide by 9

The value of a is 10°.

olga_2 [115]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine of an angle is equal to the cosine of its complement, so

4x+10=2x+16\\\\2x+10=16\\\\2x=6\\ \\ x=3

Please help me with my hw

Part 2 is 12.5 cm represents 5km
I worked this out by doing a ratio
5cm=2km
?cm=5km
you have to do 2 times 2.5 to get 5km so you do 5 times 2.5 to get 12.5cm
so the answer is that 12.5cm
