Answer:

The value of x is 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: h² = a² + b²

<u>Let's solve using Pythagoras theorem.</u>

=> 13² = 5² + x²
=> 169 = 25 + x²
=> 169 - 25 = x²
=> 144 = x²
=> √x² = √144
=> x = √144
=> x = 12

Hence, the value of x is 12 units.

Helen [10]

According to Vieta's formula, if $x_1,x_2$ are solutions of quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , then:

$\displaystyle x_1+x_2=- \frac{b}{a}$

In our case:

$\displaystyle x_1+x_2=- \frac{8}{2} =-4$

A car can travel 120 km in 2 hours.How long will it take the car to travel 300 km?

kakasveta [241]

We first find out time taken to travel for just 1 km

2hrs is equivalent to 120 minutes

120 km = 120 min

1 km = x (where x is the time taken to travel 1 km).

we simplify the equation by cross - multiplying the equation , so:

120 × x = 1 × 120 → 120x = 120 → x = 120/120 → x = 1

So the car covers 1km in 1 minute

For 300 km the car will take 300 × 1 minute = 300 minutes

we convert minutes to hours by dividing by 60 → 300 / 60 = 5

Therefore the car will take 5 hours to cover 300 km.
