Question

would either of you b able to help me with these @Juicstice @dan815

Answer 1

I got you on the first one. so what you do is with the big triangle do pythagorean theorem to fin the longest side then just subtract 6

Answer 2

but I'm still missing a side in addition to x....so wouldnt i b finding 2 variables then?

Answer 3

whoops do what I told you but with the smaller triangle

then to find the other missing side you have to set up an equation that would look like this

A^2+B^2=(x-6)^2

Answer 4

ok so would it look like this?
10^2 = 6^2 + b^2'
100 = 36 = b^2
64 = b^2
b = 8

Answer 5

then for ....ummm... idk what to do after taht

Answer 6

*that

Answer 7

yes, then just put 8 into the equation I wrote down and solve for (hint: it will have an x in it just imagine that you are simplifying the equation)

Answer 8

solve for A

Answer 9

*

Answer 10

ok I thnk I see what ur saying...let me do it on paper...then I'll type it

Answer 11

okay I hope I'm helping

Answer 12

your getting me farther than i coud:)

Answer 13

*could

Answer 14

\[A^2 + B^2 = (x-6)^2 \]
\[A^2 + 8^2 = (x-6)^2\]
\[A^2 + 84 = (x-6)^2\]

Answer 15

this is as far as I've gotten?....do I add 6?

Answer 16

first you square the numbers in the parenthesis

Answer 17

so x^2 + 36?

Answer 18

ok so after that...subtract 36 from each side?

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

more like you should subtract 84 from 36

Answer 21

it should actually b 64...i wrote that wrong sorry... 8^2 = 64

Answer 22

A^2 + 28 = x^2 ??

Answer 23

okay, I should have seen that, that's my fault

Answer 24

no biggie I knew it was 64...just a type....but is that equation above right?

Answer 25

*typo

Answer 26

okay so I might have messed something up with just the placement of the equation

it should look like 8^2+(x-6)^2=C^2

and to solve for (x-6)^2 you have to foil, I know that sucks but it has to be done

that should make more sense

Answer 27

haha u read my mind about that part sucking....ok so it would look like
28 + x^2 = C^2..... i dont think i did that right at all....did I even foil??

Answer 28

thats how much i hate foiling i forgot from when they taught me last year how to do it! :p

Answer 29

no you didn't
