Answer:
d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
Step-by-step explanation:
find the diagonal line passing through the middle of the bottom rectangle:
a² + b² = c²
10² + 8² = c²
100 + 64 = 164
c² = 164
c = √164
c = 12.8062484729
find d:
a² + b² = c²
12² + 12.80624847298² = c²
144+ 164 = 308
c² = 308
c = √308
c = 17.5499287748
therefore d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
This questions can be answered with a calculator, but I have an impression it is meant to be a mental calculation problem, which can be solved as follows.
We know that 10*10=100, in otherwords, √ 100 = 10 which is greater than 9.4247.
We also know that √ 108 is greater than √ 100 =10
So we can conclude that
√ 108 > √ 100 = 10 > 9.4247
or simply
√ 108 > 9.4247
by the transitive property of logical propositions.
So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:
Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses:
<u>Now you can rewrite this as , which is your final answer.</u>
