ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE COPIED THESE PROPLEMS CORRECTLY???
SOME OF THEM DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE (NUMBERS 2 & 4).
--------------------------------------------------------
1) x^2-2x-7= sqrt (5)
X^2-2X-7-2.236=0
X^2-2X-9.236=0 USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION BELOW WE GET:
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
X=(2+-SQRT[-2^2-4*1*-9.236])/2*1
X=(2+-SQRT[4+36.944)/2
X=(2+-SQRT40.944)/2
X=(2+-6.399)/2
X=(2+6.399)/2
X=8.399/2
X=4.199 ANS.
X=(2-6.399)/2
X=-4.399/2
X=-2.199 ANS.
2) 3/5 = sqrt (9)
3/5=3
3=5*3
3=15 DOES NOT COMPUTE.
3) 56x -18x+ x^2= 17
38X+X^2-17=0
X^2+38X-17=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
X=(-38+-SQRT[38^2-4*1*-17])/2*1
X=(-38+-SQRT[1,444+68])/2
X=-38+-SQRT1,512)/2
X=(-38+-38.88)/2
X=(-38+38.88)/2
X=.88/2
X=.44 ANS.
X=(-38-38.88)/2
X=76.88/2
X=-38.44 ANS.
4) sqrt (9) = sqrt (35)
3=5.91 DOES NOT COMPUTE.

Answer 221483 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2010-05-29 18:29:09 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
IF THE VERTICLE LINE IS ONE OF THE SIDES & IT'S A RIGHT TRIANGLE THEN:
10^2+24^2=C^2
100+576=C^2
C^2=676
C=SQRT676
C=26 m.
iF THE VERTICLE ANGLE IS THE MIDDLE HEIGHT OF THE TRIANGLE THEN:
5^2+24^2=C^2
25+576=C^2
C^2=601
C=SQRT601
C=24.5m.
ALL OTHER VERTICLE LINES WILL RESULT IN THE THIRD SIDE BEING BETWEEN
24.5M. & 26 m.
