Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse ≈ 39.7 cm

Explanation:

Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, this means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.

The equation for Pythagorean calculation is:

(hypotenuse)² = (first leg)² + (second leg)²

In the given, we have:

first leg = 30 cm

second leg = 26 cm

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the hypotenuse as follows:

(hypotenuse)² = (30)² + (26)²

(hypotenuse)² = 1576

This means that:

either hypotenuse = √1576 = 39.69 ≈ 39.7 cm ..........> accepted

or hypotenuse = -√1576 = -39.69 ......> rejected as length can't be negative

Hope this helps :)

353 people attend a local play at a private club. members get tickets for $2.75, while non-members must pay $6.50. if the total
mote1985 [20]
We will be dealing with a system of equations and we'll find the answer by using elimination.
M= members and N= non-members
M+N=353
2.75M+6.50N=1762
We can eliminate M by multiplying the first equation by -2.75.
-2.75m-2.75n=-970.75
2.75m+6.50N=1762
3.75n=791.25
Now divide
791.25/3.75=211
So there was 211 non-member tickets. All we have to do to find the number of member tickets is replace n with its value.
211+m=353
353-211=m=142
There are 142 member tickets. To check our answer, let's put both values in for the second equation.
2.75(142)+6.50(211)
390.50+1,371.50
1762
So, there were 142 members and 211 non-members that came to the play.
