Calculate the value of x in each case​

Mathematics

pav-90 [236]2 years ago
5 0

Exact answer: x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{2}\\\\

Approximate answer: x \approx 12.2577

====================================================

How to find the answer:

Focus on the largest triangle. It appears to be a right triangle. If so, then we can use the pythagorean theorem to get the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2\\\\a^2 + 144 = 169\\\\a^2 = 169 - 144\\\\a^2 = 25\\\\a = \sqrt{25}\\\\a = 5

The horizontal leg of the largest right triangle is 5 units long.

The identical single tickmarks tell us that the horizontal leg is cut into two smaller pieces of equal length.

Each smaller piece is 5/2 = 2.5 units long.

------------------------------

Now focus on the smaller skinny right triangle with legs a = 2.5, b = 12 and hypotenuse c = x.

Use the pythagorean theorem again to find the hypotenuse x.

2.5^2 + 12^2 = c^2\\\\6.25 + 144 = x^2\\\\150.25 = x^2\\\\x^2 = 150.25\\\\x = \sqrt{150.25}\\\\x = \sqrt{\frac{601}{4}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{2}\\\\x \approx 12.2577

HURRY PLEASE PLZ 10 POINTS Please some1 help me. jodi built a rectangular sandbox for her daughter. The sand measures 6 feet 5 f
ratelena [41]
Box:
Length = 6 feet
Width = 5 feet
Hight = 1.2 foot

Volume of the box = LxWxH
Box volume = 6x5x1.2 = 36 cubic feet
The Box holds 36 cubic feet of sand.

While Jodi bought 20 cubic feet of sand
Which means that Jodi is short by:
36 - 20 = 16 cubic feet.
