Answer:

4.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC).  Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.

c² = a² + b²

(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²

h ≈ 4.4 m

What are the possible polynomial expression for dimensions of the cuboid whose volume is 12y2 + 8y -20
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is the product of its length, height and breadth. It is given by:

Volume = length × breadth × height

Since the volume is given by the expression 12y² + 8y - 20. That is:

Volume = 12y² + 8y - 20 = 4(3y² + 2y - 5) = 4(3y² + 5y - 3y -5) = 4[y(3y + 5) -1(3y + 5)]

Volume = 4(y-1)(3y+5)

Or

Volume = 12y² + 8y - 20 = 2(6y² +4y - 10) = 2(6y² + 10y - 6y -10) = 2[y(6y + 10) -1(6y + 10)]

Volume = 2(y-1)(6y+10)

Therefore the dimensions of the cuboid are either 4, y-1 and 3y+5 or 2, y-1 and 6y+10

True or False? A circle could be circumscribed about the quadrilateral below.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is:   False</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If the sum of the opposite angles in a quadrilateral is 180°</u>, then a circle can be circumscribed about the quadrilateral.

Here,  \angle B+\angle D= 110\°+90\° = 180\°

but,  \angle A+\angle C= 70\°+90\°= 160\°

So, a circle can't be circumscribed about the given quadrilateral.

Consider a single spin of the spinner.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive means the events will have no intersection.

Let's look at your first choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on an even number"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on an even number would be 2 or 4.

There is an intersection (they contain a common element), the 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your second choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a number greater than 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on a number greater than 3 would be just 4.

There is an intersection; they both contain 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your third choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 would just be 3.

There is no common elements in the lists listed.  These events have no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fourth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on an odd number"

Landing on a unshaded portion would be 2 or 3.

Landing on an odd number would be 1 or 3.

There is an intersection; they both have 3 in common.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fifth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Landing on an unshaded portion would 2 or 3.

Landing on a number less than 2 would be 1.

There is no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.
