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 :)

plz help with this math thing i dont get it Create a scenario that leads to an inequality of the form ax + b > c. You can use
andriy [413]
You have to write a word problem where (a * x) + b is greater than c. One situation could start with (a * x) where a is 2, and x is another number, lets say 5. You have to multiply those and then add b, which we could say is 2, for the sake of it. Then all of those together has to be more than c, which could be 9 for this problem. Then you have to show your work and graph on a number line and all that stuff, and explain what your solution means in the context of the problem. That could be what the numbers mean in relation to others, or what a, x, b, and c are.

Find the area of each figure. Use 3.14 for pi.
Alik [6]

Answer:

208m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so you can split this abomination into a rectangle, another rectangle, and a square, so we're going to start with the rectangle to the far left:

The formula for the area of a rectangle or square is length x width, so we just have to plug:

4 x 8 = 32

Now we do the next rectangle, but we have to figure out the length first, so:

4 + 4 = 8

Now we plug:

8 x 4 = 32 (I now realize that the rectangles are even and we could've just multiplied the first one by two, but it's always good to check)

Now we do the square:

12 x 12 = 144

Now we add it all together:

32 + 32 + 144 = 208

So the area of the figure is 208m²

if this is wrong, let me know so I can fix it

hope this helps:)
