Answer:

length of qt = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that qrs is a right angle triangle,

where qr = 20

          sr = ?

          qs = 25

          qt = ?

<h3>1)</h3><h3>Find sr</h3>

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

sq² = sr² + rq²

25² - 20² = sr²

sr = √25² - 20²

sr = 15

2)

When altitude rt is drawn to hypotenuse qs, it divides the triangle qrs into

two right angle triangle, rtq and rts.

Δrtq

height = rt

base= tq = 25 - x

hypotenuse = qt = 20

Δrts

height = rt

base= ts = x

hypotenuse = sr = 15

These both triangle shares same altitude that is rt

So, by using pythagorus theorem

      Δ rtq                                               Δ rts

hypotenuse² - base² = height² = hypotenuse² - base²

20² - (25 - x)² = 15² - x²

400 - (625 + x² - 50x) = 225 - x²

400 - 625 - x² + 50x = 225 - x²

-225 - x² + 50x - 225 + x² = 0

-450 + 50 x = 0

50x = 450

x = 450/50

x = 9

base of Δ rtq = tq = 25 - x

                         tq = 25 - 9

                         tq = 16

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The length of qt is </u><u>15</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to Pythagorean Theorem

c² = a²  + b²

c² -  a² = b²  

25² -  20² = b²  

625 - 400 = b²  

225 = b²  

Taking square root on both sides

b = 15

If there are no notebooks purchased, then Eula may buy 5 binders. If no binders are bought, then Eula may buy 10 notebooks. If 7 notebooks are purchased, then one binder may be purchased; this will also cause Eula to have $2 extra (maybe for tax).

Solve the following quadratic equations by extracting square roots.Answer the questions that follow.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.  x=±4

2. t=±9

3. r=±10

4. x=±12

5. s=±5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2 = 16

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2}\\

x=±4

2. t^2=81

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{(9)^2}

t=±9

3. r^2-100=0

r^{2}-100=0\\r^2 =100\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{(10)^2}

r=±10

4. x²-144=0

x²=144

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{144}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2}

x=±12

5. 2s²=50

\frac{2s^2}{2} =\frac{50}{2}\\s^2=25\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2}

s=±5 ..

Select the correct augmented matrices. Liam wants to buy a car and pay for it in three installments. The total cost of the car i
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The total cost of the car is 29,000 dollars.  Which is paid in three installments . x , y and z are the installments.

To Find:

The value of x, y and z.

Solving:

It is said that 2 times the 1 installment is $1,000 ore than the sum of the 3 rd installment and 3 times the second installment.

= 2x =  1000 + z + 3y

Transposing:

= z = 2x - 3y  - 1000

x + y  + z  = 29000 + 2100

= x + y  + z = 31100

= x + y  + 2x - 3y  - 1000 = 31100

= 3x - 2y = 32100

First installment at start paid = x (We have assumed)

Remaining Installment which is left to pay  = 29,000 - x

(29,000 - x) * 15 /100  =  Interest for First

= (29000 - x) * 3/20  

=> 4350 - 0.15x  

Installment Paid Second = y

(29000 - x)   +  4350 - 0.15x    -  y ) * 15/100 =  Interest  Second

(29000 - x)  + 4350 - 0.15x    -  y  ) * 3/20

= 5002.5 - 0.1725x - 0.15y

Interest of 1st installment +  Interest of 2nd  installment  = 2100

Using this principle solving:

=  4,350 - 0.15x  + 5,002.5 - 0.1725x - 0.15y  = 2,100

=  0.3225x  +  0.15y =  7,252.5

= 6.45x  + 3y  = 1,45,050

= 12.9x  + 6y = 2,90,100

= 4.3x + 2y = 96,700

= 4.3x + 2y = 96700

= 3x - 2y = 32,100

= 7.3x = 1,28,800

= x ≈ 17644     ( 17,643.8356)

3x - 2y = 32,100

= y ≈ 10416     (10,415.7534 )

 x + y + z = 31100

= z ≈ 3040   ( 3,040.4110 )
