Step-by-step explanation:

Given equaiton is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
we apply quadratic formula to solve for x

a= 1 b = -12 and c= 59



Divide the 12 and square root terms by 2

so
and 
Answer:
x = 3.1 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the slope the track.
Given:
Distance between station A and B = 270 ft
Track rise = 
We need to find the slope of the railway track between station A an B.
Solution:
The maximum grade allowed between two stations in a rapid-transit rail system is 3.5%.
We know that slope of the railway track is equal to gradient of the tracks.
So. the slope of the railway track is defined as the ratio of the distance between the stations and track rises.


x = 3.1 %
So x = 3.1 % less than the maximum grade allowed between two stations in a rapid-transit rail system is 3.5%.
Therefore, x = 3.1 % meets the rapid-transit rail standards.
Answer:
, ∠C ≅∠Z
, ∠A≅∠X

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent
so
In this problem
The corresponding sides are
BA and YX
BC and YZ
AC and XZ
The corresponding angles are
∠A and ∠X
∠B and ∠Y
∠C and ∠Z
so

and
∠A≅∠X
∠B≅∠Y
∠C ≅∠Z
therefore
, ∠C ≅∠Z
, ∠A≅∠X
