Answer 1
Answer: For this question, you can do Pythagorean Theorem to solve WY. Since WY is tangent to the circle, we know that the triangle is a right triangle.

We know one leg is 9 and the other leg, WY is unknown. But, we do know the hypotenuse.

XY is 6 but PX is unknown. If you think about it, PX is a radius of the circle and we know that the radius is 9 since PW is also a radius of the circle. So, the hypotenuse is 6 + 9 = 15.

We know one leg is 9 and the hypotenuse is 15. We need to find the other leg and we can.

Pythagorean Theorem states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides of the triangle and where c is the hypotenuse. Using basic algebra, we can alter the equation to find a leg using the hypotenuse and one other leg.

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

All I did was solve for one leg and it doesn't matter what leg you solve for. Let's plug in the numbers.

15^2 - 9^2 = a^2
225 - 81 = a^2
144 = a^2
Take the square root on both sides to get "a" by itself with raising it to the second power.

12 = a

So, the last leg is 12. Hope this helped and good luck!

Nick works two jobs to pay for college. He tutors for $15 per hour and also works as a bag boy for $8 per hour. Due to his class and study schedule, Nick is only able to work up to 20 hours per week but must earn at least $150 per week. If t represents the number of hours Nick tutors and b represents the number of hours he works as a bag boy, which system of inequalities represents this scenario? A.) t + b greater than or equal to 20 15t + 8b = 150

B.) t + b less than or equal to 20 15t + 8b greater than or equal to 150

C.) t + b less than or equal to 20 15t + 8b less than or equal to 150

D.) None of the systems shown represent this scenario.

Answers

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning for tutoring per hour = 15$

Earning for bag boy per hour = 8$

We have Nick is only able to work up to 20 hours per week but must earn at least $150 per week and t represents the number of hours Nick tutors and b represents the number of hours he works as a bag boy.

Nick is only able to work up to 20 hours per week

                     t + b ≤ 20

But must earn at least $150 per week

                    15 t + 8 b ≥ 150

Option B is the correct answer.

The answer is B.
He can't work more than 20 hours so t+b must be less than or equal to 20.
He has to earn $150 so it cannot be less than 150. Theoretically he could earn more, e.g doing 10 hours of each job which equals $230

Therefore t + b less than or equal to 20 15t + 8b greater than or equal to 150

Please solve the following quadratic equation and show your work: x^2 -x =30

Answers

Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
     x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
     (x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
     x + 5 = 0  => x = -5
     x - 6 = 0  => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides.

By using Pythagoras' theorem

D²  =   84²  -    50²

D   =   √   84²  -    50²

D  =  √4556

D   =  67.5 inches

Therefore the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the wall will be 67.5 inches.

Solve this inequality: 3p – 16 < 20. A. p < 1/3
B. p < 11/3
C. p < 12
D. p < –12

Answers

If you would like to solve the inequality 3 * p - 16 < 20, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 * p - 16 < 20
3 * p < 20 + 16
3 * p < 36     /3
p < 36/3
p < 12

The correct result would be C. p < 12.

The solution to the inequality is p < 12.

Option C is the correct answer.

We have,

To solve the inequality 3p - 16 < 20, you can follow these steps:

- Add 16 to both sides of the inequality:

3p - 16 + 16 < 20 + 16

3p < 36

- Divide both sides of the inequality by 3

(since the coefficient of p is 3 and we want to isolate p):

(3p)/3 < 36/3

p < 12

Thus,

The solution to the inequality is p < 12.
