Answer:

6√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the vertical side in the middle as y and the side on the left as z.

We have:

from the right triangle on the right:

9²+y²=x²

from the right triangle over the big triangle:

z²+x²=(9+3)²=12²

from the right triangle on the left:

3²+y²=z²

We can use substitution in our three equations to get x.

9²+y²=x²

z²+x²=12²

3²+y²=z²

First, solve for y² in terms of x². We want everything in terms of x so we can solve for it.

9²+y²=x²

subtract 9² from both sides

x²-81 = y²

plug that into the third equation

3²+(x²-81)=z²

x²-72=z²

z²+x²=144 (the second equation)

plug x²-72 for z²

x²-72+x² = 144

add 72 to both sides

2x² =216

divide both sides by 2 to isolate x²

x²=108

square root both sides to get x

x = √108 = 6√3

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (1, -9) and y intercept at (0, -6).
taurus [48]

hello :<span>
<span>the parabola's equation is : f(x) = a(x-1)²-9
the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation is : a
but ; f(0) = -6 ...  ( </span></span>y-intercepts (0,-6) )

-6 = a(0-1)²-9
-6 =a -9


a=3
f(x) = 3(x-1)²-9

<span> the x-intercepts  when : f(x) =0
</span>3(x-1)²-9 =0
(x-1)² =3
x-1 = √3)   or x-1 = -√3) 

x= 1 +√3   or  x= 1 -√3 are <span> the x-intercepts </span>

A stained glass window has an area of 900 square inches.
12345 [234]

Answer:

a. 60

b. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the stained glass window has an area of 900 square inches and this is made of smaller rectangular stained glass pieces, the number of smaller rectangular stained glass pieces used will be equal to the total area (900 square inches) to the area of the smaller rectangular piece.

The area A of the rectangular piece of length l and width w may be stated  as

A = l * w

Hence given  that

- One window design is made of rectangular stained glass pieces that are 5 inches by 3 inches, number of stained glass pieces are used in the window

= 900/(3 * 5)

= 60

- Another window design is made of square stained glass pieces that are 6 inches by 6 inches, number of stained glass pieces are used in the window

= 900/(6 * 6)

= 25

When you need a fraction of a number like 1/3 of 9 how do you find out how much you need?
Natalija [7]

To find out how much you need when you need a fraction of a number like 1/3 of 9, you can multiply the whole number by the fraction in most cases.

In some cases however, you can convert the whole number into a fraction and then divide it to get the amount in fractional units that you require.

For example:

1/3 of 9

Convert 9 to a fraction.

1/3 / 9/1

1/3 x 9/1 = 3/9

Therefore you would need 3 of 9 for 1/3.
