3 0

Answer:

a=0

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-2x+y²-4y-4=0

(x²-2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)-9=0

(x-1)² + (y-2)² = 3²

Center: (1,2)     radius: 3

(1,2) on line 2x-y+a=0

2*1 - 2 + a = 0

a = 0

Find m∠U.<br> Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

∠U = 56.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use trigonometric functions to solve this

Here we are given the opposite side of ∠U as well as the adjacent side.

When dealing with the adjacent and opposite side we use sin

Sin = Opposite side / Adjacent side

Opp = 5 and adj = 6

So

Sin(U) = 5/6

* take the inverse sine of both sides *

arc(sin)(u) = u

arcsin(5/6) = 56.4 *( rounded to the nearest tenth )

∠U = 56.4

Answer:

1.

midpoint = ( \frac{ - 4 + 6}{2} , \:  \frac{ - 12 + 8}{2} ) \\  = (1, \:  - 2)

2.

distance =  \sqrt{ {( - 4 - 6)}^{2} +  {( - 12 - 8)}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{500}  \\  = 22.4 \: units

3^3x+1= 81<br> Solve the exponential function
Reil [10]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3^ (3x+1) = 81

Rewrite 81 as a power of 3

3^4

3^ (3x+1) = 3^4

Since the bases are the same, the powers are the same

3x+1 =4

Subtract 1 from each side

3x+1-1 =4-1

3x=3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x =1

An equilateral triangle has a side length of 6. What is the height of the triangle?
vlabodo [156]
Since the height of an equilateral triangle in terms of its side s is s√3/2, the height of the triangle is 6√3/2 = 3√3 and so the area is (1/2)(6)(3√3) = 9√3. 

<span>If we draw a horizontal line a height of h from the base of the triangle, the region is split into two regions: the lower region consisting of a trapezoid of height h and the upper region consisting of a triangle of height 3√3 - h. </span>

<span>Since the upper triangle and the triangle itself are similar triangles, the base and height are proportional. If we let x denote the base of the length of the upper triangle, we have: </span>

<span>(S. of small triangle)/(S. of big triangle) = (Ht. of small triangle)/(Ht. of big triangle) </span>
<span>==> x/6 = (3√3 - h)/(3√3) </span>
<span>==> x = (6√3 - 2h)/√3 </span>

<span>Thus, the area of the upper triangle is: </span>

<span>A = (1/2)[(6√3 - 2h)/√3](3√3 - h) = [(6√3 - 2h)(3√3 - h)]/(2√3). </span>
<span>(Made a dumb mistake about the height here for some reason) </span>

<span>Since we require that the area of this triangle is to be half of the total area (9√3/2), we need to solve: </span>

<span>[(6√3 - 2h)(3√3 - h)]/(2√3) = 9√3/2 </span>
<span>==> (6√3 - 2h)(3√3 - h) = 27 </span>
<span>==> 54 - 6h√3 - 6h√3 + 2h^2 = 27 </span>
<span>==> 2h^2 - 12h√3 + 27 = 0. </span>

<span>Solving with the Quadratic Formula gives: </span>

<span>h = (6√3 + 3√6)/2 ≈ 8.87 units and h = (6√3 - 3√6)/2 ≈ 1.52 units. </span>

<span>Since h = (6√3 + 3√6)/2 would place the line outside of the triangle, we pick h = (6√3 - 3√6)/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the line should be ==> (6√3 - 3√6)/2 units from the base. </span>

<span>I hope this helps! ^^ Brainliest Please?</span><span>
