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 :)

What is the area of this figure?
KatRina [158]
Hi!

I have attached 2 images that should help you understand :)

First, look at the edits I made to the image you posted. I separated the shape into smaller shapes so that we can find the area of each individual one. 

Let's start with the rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the width times the height. 
10 · 4 = 40

Rectangle = 40cm

Next up, the red triangles.

I have included another image showing the triangles combined into rectangles. So we can find the area of the triangles just like we would rectangles!

(let me know if you don't understand how I found the width + height of the triangles)

5 · 10 = 50

Red triangles = 50cm

And finally, the green triangles.

8 · 7 = 56

Green triangles = 56cm

Add it all together and you get...

40 + 50 + 56 = 146

The answer to the question is 146cm.

Next time you are having trouble with something like this, picture the triangles as rectangles! :)

$78

The difference between choice A and B is 5 meals and $80 so 1 meal is $16. So we can subtract $16 from $250 and we get $234 for 3 nights. 1 night is $78

The aspect of consistency means that ____. a. the association should be compatible with existing theory and knowledge b. the ass
Mama L [17]

Answer:

b. the association is consistent when results are repeated in studies in different settings using different methods

Step-by-step explanation:

-In statistics and research, internal consistency is typically a measure based on the correlations between different items on the same test (or the same subscale on a larger test).

-It measures whether several items that propose to measure the same general construct produce similar scores.
