What are the values of x and y?

Mathematics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y is easy.

it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.

so, Pythagoras :

y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

y = 10

x is a bit more complex.

I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.

so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have

x = a + b = 6 + b

height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)

therefore,

6b = height² = 8² = 64

b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...

so,

x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...

round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67

Gurnaz has been mowing lawns to save money for a concert. Gurnaz will need to work for at least six hours to save enough money,
inessss [21]

Answer:

The required inequality is: 6\leq x

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Gurnaz has been mowing lawns to save money for a concert. Gurnaz will need to work for at least six hours to save enough money, but he must work fewer than 16 hours this week.

Let the number of hours Gurnaz work is represented by x.

Gurnaz will need to work for at least six hours to save enough money,

That means he can work 6 or more than 6 hours,

x\geq 6

He must work fewer than 16 hours this week. That means the value of x should be less than 16.

x

Thus, the required inequality is: 6\leq x

Now draw the graph of the inequality.

Use a dot or close circle to represents ≤ or ≥ and use a open circle to represent < or >.

The value of x is greater than or equal to 6 also the value of x is less than 16. The required graph is shown below.

What is the solution of the equation 70 = 1.4y ?
sdas [7]
So you basically have to divide 1.4 on both sides so you can get y by its self. Once you divide 60 by 1.4 you’ll get 50.

y=50

Can you guys tell me what does C , A, and B equal
irakobra [83]

you will need to use the law of cosines since this picture does not indicate that this is a right triangle

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2ab cos C,

16^2 = 17^2+8^2 -2*17*8*cosC

256=289-272cosC

-33=-272cosC

33/272 = cosC

cos^-1 (33/272)=C  taking the inverse cos

C=83.0  (to the nearest tenth)

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 – 2ac cos B,

8^2 = 17^2 +16^2 -2*17*16cosB

64=289-544cosB

-225=-544cosB

225/544=cosB

cos^(-1) =B

B=65.5

A=180-83-65.6

A=31.4
