And because we know that we cut the base of the equilateral triangle in half, we can see that the side opposite the 30° angle (the shortest side) of each of our 30-60-90 triangles is exactly half the length of the hypotenuse.

Answer:

Never

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30°−60°−90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg, and the length of the longer leg is √3 times the length of the shorter leg. To see why this is so, note that by the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem, these values make the triangle a right triangle.

I need to know the solution to this

Alex73 [517]

There are two ways to do this but the way I prefer is to make one of the equations in terms of one variable and then 'plug this in' to the second equation. I will demonstrate

Look at equation 1, $-2x+y=10$ this can quite easily be manipulated to show $y=10+2x$ .

Then because there is a y in the second equation (and both equations are simultaneous) we can 'plug in' our new equation where y is in the second one $4x-y=-14 \Rightarrow 4x-(10+2x)=-14$ which can then be solved for x since there is only one variable $4x-10-2x=-14 \Rightarrow 2x=-4 \Rightarrow x=-2$ and then with our x solution we can work out our y solution by using the equation we manipulated $y=10+2x = 10+(2 \times -2) = 10-4=6$ .

So the solution to these equations is x=-2 when y=6

when graphing a line, if you use run over rise instead of rise over run, does that change the slope of the line? please help!!

yes , because run over rise wont give you a valid answer

Determine which expression has the greatest value.

fgiga [73]

Well D I would think because 52 is greater than the other number :)
Hope this helps ^W^
