<span>assume problem is right triangle with sides (l-8), (l-4), and hypotenuse of l 
pythagorous theorem states c^2 = a^2 + b^2 
l^2 = (l-8)^2 + (l-4)^2 
</span>l^2 = ( l^2 -16 * l +64) + (l^2 -8*l +16) <span>L^2 = 2*l^2 - 24*l + 80 
0 = l^2 -24*l + 80 
factoring 0 = ( l -20) ( L-4) 
l-20 = 0. l=+20 
l-4 = 0, l=4 but l-8 and l-4 are positive lengths therefore l cannot equal 4 
sides of triangle are 20, l-8 = 12, and l-4 =16 ( height up bldg)

Can someone please give me the answers to this? ... please ...
Gelneren [198K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the midpoint between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is simply ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2).

so,

1.

(9, 7) to (4, -3)

midpoint is ((9+4)/2, (7+ -3)/2) = (13/2, 4/2) = (6.5, 2)

2.

(-7, -5) to (2, 1)

midpoint is ((-7+2)/2, (-5+1)/2) = (-5/2, -4/2) = (-2.5, -2)

3.

now we have the midpoint and need the second point.

(4, 2) over (3, 4) to (x, y)

3 = (4 + x)/2

6 = 4 + x

x = 2

4 = (2 + y)/2

8 = 2 + y

y = 6

4.

(-2, 1) over (-3, 2) to (x, y)

-3 = (-2 + x)/2

-6 = -2 + x

x = -4

2 = (1 + y)/2

4 = 1 + y

y = 3

Written as a simplified polynomial in standard form, what is the result when (3x+7)^2 is subtracted from 3?
nadezda [96]

Given:

(3x+7)^2 is subtracted from 3.

To find:

The result of the given statement in the standard form of the polynomial.

Solution:

We need to find the result when (3x+7)^2 is subtracted from 3.

So, the resulted polynomial can be written as:

P(x)=3-(3x+7)^2

On simplification, we get

P(x)=3-((3x)^2+2(3x)(7)+(7)^2)               [\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2]

P(x)=3-(9x^2+42x+49)

P(x)=3-9x^2-42x-49

P(x)=-9x^2-42x-46

Therefore, the resulted polynomial in standard form is -9x^2-42x-46.
