8 0

Answer:

x=-8 OR X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

X²+6X-6=10

X²+6X-16=0

X²+8X-2X-16

X(X+8)-2(X+8)

X+8=0 X-2=0

X=-8 OR X=2

Which of the following numbers could be the sides of a right triangle. A)8,15,17. B)6,8,12 C)9,11,21 D)4,13,16

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A) 8, 15, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that: $a^2+b^2=c^2$

Thus:

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=c$

Option A:

$\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=17$ → 17 = 17 OK!

Option B:

$\sqrt{6^2+8^2} = 10$ → 10 ≠ 12 NO

Option C:

$\sqrt{9^2+11^2} = [tex]\sqrt{202}$ [/tex] → $\sqrt{202}$ ≠ 21 NO

Option D:

$\sqrt{4^2+13^2} = \sqrt{185}$ → $\sqrt{185}$ ≠ 16 NO

#Taking the right triangle ACD:

$\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 60\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x}\\\\y=x \ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5$

#Taking the right triangle ABD:

$\Tan \ theta=\frac{Perpendicular \ Height}{Base}\\\\Tan \ 40\textdegree=\frac{y+1.5}{x+20}\\\\y=(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5$

#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;

$(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree -1.5=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree -1.5\\\\(x+20)\ Tan \ 40\textdegree=x\ Tan \ 60\textdegree\\\\0.8391x+16.7820=1.7321x\\\\x=18.7939$
