If ADAB ACBA,<br> ZD = 132° and ZC = x + 18
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

x = 114

Step-by-step explanation:

since the triangles are congruent then corresponding angles are congruent, then

∠ C = ∠ D , that is

x + 18 = 132 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

x = 114

A security fence encloses a rectangular area on one side of a park in a city. three sides of fencing are? used, since the fourth
alexandr1967 [171]
Let x = length of the park
Let y = width of the park

Because the area is 392392 ft², therefore
xy = 392392          (1)
Because three sides of fencing measure 5656 ft, therefore
2x + y = 5656        (2)
That is
y = 5656 - 2x          (3)
Substitute (3) into (1).
x(5656 - 2x) = 392392
5656x - 2x² = 392392
2x² -5656x + 392392 = 0
x² - 2828x + 196196 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
x = (1/2)*[2828 +/- √(2828² - 4*196196)]
   = 2756.83 or 71.17

Answer:
The possible dimensions are 2756.8 ft and 71.2 ft (nearest tenth)

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6 = x2 - 10/?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

x = 5 \± \sqrt{31}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 = x^2 - 10x

Required

The solution in radical form

6 = x^2 - 10x

Rewrite as:

x^2 - 10x - 6 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we have:

x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 1

b = -10

c = -6

So, we have:

x = \frac{-(-10) \± \sqrt{(-10)^2 - 4*1*(-6)}}{2*1}

x = \frac{10 \± \sqrt{100 +24}}{2*1}

x = \frac{10 \± \sqrt{124}}{2}

Split the roots

x = \frac{10 \± \sqrt{4 * 31}}{2}

Express \sqrt 4 as 2

x = \frac{10 \± 2\sqrt{31}}{2}

Split the fraction

x = \frac{10}{2} \± \frac{2\sqrt{31}}{2}

x = 5 \± \sqrt{31}
