Solutions
To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².
Given
One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.
First leg (24 yards) would be α
Second leg would be β
Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c
Now we have points α β c.
a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74)
Calculations
c² = α² + β²
74² = 24²+ β²
<span>5476 = 576 + </span>β²
5476 - 576 = β²
<span> </span>
<span>4900 = </span>β²
→√4900
<span> </span>
β<span> = 70 yards
</span>
<span>70 = 10x
</span>
<span>x = 70</span>÷<span>10 = 7 yards
</span>
The second leg = 7 yards
Answer:
Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write a word problem for the equation.
Let x represent the present age of Carlos.
Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.
Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)
Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
That easy just divide 9 by 22 if need simplify it
B. Angle B= Angle E
As this would only prove the AAA Similarity theorem, but not any Congruence Rule
Answer:
apple = 4
blackberry =5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = apple pie cost
b =blackberry pie cost
4a +9b = 61
7a +6b = 58
Multiply the first equation by 7
7(4a +9b) = 61*7
28a +63b = 427
Multiply the second equation by -4
-4(7a +6b) = 58*-4
-28a -24b = -232
Add these two new equations together to eliminate a
28a +63b = 427
-28a -24b = -232
-----------------------------
0a +39b =195
Divide each side by 39
39b/39 = 195/39
b= 5
Now we need to find a
4a +9b = 61
4a +9(5) = 61
4a +45 = 61
4a+45-45 =61-45
4a = 26
Divide by 4
4a/4 =16/4
a = 4
