Calculate the value of x in each case​

Mathematics
1 answer:
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

Sketch and write the equation for each line : y = mx<br> +b
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

equation  y =7/4x+1

slope = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can find the slope

m =(y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

   = (4--3)/(2--2)

  = (4+3) / (2+2)

   = 7/4

We know the slope and the y intercept

We can write the equation using y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y= 7/4x +1

We put at dot at (0,1) and then go up 7 and to the right 4 .  We put another dot

Connect the dots and we have our line.

We could also put dots at (-2,-3) and (2,4) and connect the dots.
