\[369=\sqrt{273+t}\] now try it, im going to eat, will check it when i get back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do u solve for t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im bout to posted how far i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[v=20\sqrt{273+t}, v/20=\sqrt{273+t}, v^2/400=273+t, v^2/400-273=t, 369^2/400-273=t\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

369^2/400-273=t ( this is the last one since it got cut off) but now im stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t = 67.4 or 67
