Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to solve this is to realise that a triangle takes up half the area of a rectangle of the same width and height.
We are told that the width of the triangle is 10, and that the line of length 10 is perpendicular to the longest side of the triangle. Because of that we know that x can be multiplied by ten to get the area of the rectangle that is twice the area of the triangle.
We are also told that the triangle's area is 75 units. With all of that put together, we can say:

Answer:
The sprinkler can spread water 18 feet away.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Area formed by watering pattern = 1,017.36 square feet
We have to find the how far the sprinkler spread the water.
The sprinkler covers a circular area. We need to find the radius of this circular area to find the how far the sprinkler spread the water.
Area of circle =

where r is the radius of the circle.
Putting values, we get,

Thus, the sprinkler can spread water 18 feet away.

Answer:
3.61 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The bird starts 50 feet in the air, so will come down to a height of 40 feet after 3.61 seconds.
We want to solve h = 40.
40 = -16t^2 +55t +50
16t^2 -55t -10 = 0
t = (55 +√(55^2 -4(16)(-10)))/(2(16)) = (55 + √3665)/32 ≈ 3.61060
The bird will be 40 ft above the ground the first time after about 3.61 seconds.
A (-5, 6)
B (-5, 2)
C (-9, 2)
D (-9, 6)
As it is just a rotation around the origin by 180, you can just change the sign in front of the numbers :)
