The direct path back forms a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem:

X = sqrt(4^2 + 2^2)

X = sqrt(16 + 4)

X = sqrt(20) = 2sqrt(5)

X = 4.472

Round the answer as needed.

3x - y = 2<br>and<br>2x + y = 4​
Naddik [55]

\frac{3}{1}Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-y = 2

2x+y =4

put them into slope intercept form

y=3x-2

y=-2x+4

Now, you can either graph it or use substitution

3x-2 = -2x+4

+2x +2x

5x -2 = 4

+2 +2

5x = 6

5x/5 = 6/5

x = 6/5

3x -2 = y

3(6/5) -2 = y

3 x 6 / 1 x 5 = 18/5

3 3/5 -2 = 1 3/5

Let me know if it's wrong.

Hope this helps

Which statement best describes the relationship between the positions of the two players
Lena [83]

Answer:

N is M reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of M and N are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis is vertical, and the x-axis is horizontal. If a point, or image, is reflected over the x-axis, in this case M and N, then the signs of the y-coordinates do not change, and instead the coordinates of the x-axis change.

What is true about AngleQRT? Select two options.
stiv31 [10]

The complete question is

"Triangle QST is isosceles, and Line segment R T bisects AngleT. Triangle Q S T is cut by bisector R T. The lengths of sides S T and Q T are congruent. Line segments S R and R Q are congruent. Angles S T R and R T Q are congruent. What is true about AngleQRT?

Select two options. Measure of angleQRT = 90° Measure of angleQRT = Measure of angleSRT AngleQRT Is-congruent-to AngleSTQ Measure of angleQRT = 2*Measure of angleRTQ AngleQRT Is-congruent-to AngleRTQ"

The true about AngleQRT options are A abd B; ∠QRT = 90 and ∠QRT = ∠SRT

<h3>What is the congruent triangle?</h3>

Two triangles are said to be congruent if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

Given information;

The triangle QST is isosceles with QT ≅ ST.

The ∠STR and ∠RTQ are congruent.

Now, consider two triangles ∠QTR and ∠STR

In the following triangle

TR  ≅  TR

QTR ≅ STR

QT ≅ ST

Now, according to SAS rule, two congruent triangles have congruent corresponding to their sides,

1. QR ≅ SR

2. QRT ≅ SRT

Since the above two angles are congruent so, they will have the same measure

That will be 90 degree.

Hence, The correct options are; ∠QRT = 90 and ∠QRT = ∠SRT

Complete the square to solve the equation below.
sasho [114]
Hello there!

x² + x = 7/4
x² + - 7/4 = 0

Now we gonna use the quadratic formula to find x
a= 1
b=1
c = -1.75

x = -b+/-√b² -4ac all of them divide by 2a
x = -(1)+/-√(1)² - (4)(1)(-1.75) all of them divide by 2(1)
x= -1+/-√8 all of them divide by 2
x = -1/2 + √2 or x = -1/2 - √2

The correct option is option C

I hope that helps!
