8 0

Answer:

this is a pythagorean theorem problem. 24 is the whole ladder, and if you draw it out, is a hypotenuse. 8 is a leg. . so 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

b^2 = 512, so b = sqrt(512) = 22.6

-4x-2(8x+1)=-(-2x-10)
Andrew [12]
Answer: -6/11

-4x - 2(8x + 1) = -(-2x - 10)               Distributive Property
-4x - 16x - 2 = 2x + 10                     Combine like terms
-20x - 2 = 2x + 10                           Subtract 2x from both sides
-22x - 2 = 10                                   Add 2 to both sides
-22x = 12                                         Divide by -22 for both sides
x = -6/11                                           Answer!

Given the system of equations, what is the solution?<br><br> x + 2y = 7<br> x - 2y = -1
Reika [66]
Add the 2 equations to eliminate the 2y. We get

2x = 6

x = 3

Plug x = 3 into the first equation:-

3 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 3 = 4

y = 2


Answer is x = 3 and y = 2

Find the area of the unshaded region for these two problems​
Grace [21]

1. Area of the right angled ∆ = 1/2 × base × height

height = 16m

base = √20² – 16²

= √400 –256

= √144

= 12 m

Area of the unshaded portion

= 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 12 × 16

= 96m²

2. Area of the rectangle = 300ft × 150ft

= 45000sq. ft

Area of the shaded portion = 100² + (1/2×b×h)

= 10000 + (1/2×120×150)

= 10000 + 9000

= 19000 sq. ft

Area of the unshaded part of the rectangle

= (45000 – 19000)sq. ft

= 26000 sq. ft
