if you are examining a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotnuse,how will you determine the measure of the

unknown leg?

We will apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the measure of the unknown leg in a triangle when one leg and the hypotenuse are provided dimensions.

<h3>What is the definition of a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometric function.

According to Pythagoras, the sum of the squares of two sides equals the square of the longest side.

\rm h^2 = p^2+ b^2

Where,

h is the hypotenuse

p is the perpendicular

b is the base

If any of the two is given the third side will be obtained using the  Pythagoras theorem.

In a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotenuse, we will determine the measure of the unknown leg by the Pythagoras theorem.

Hence we willl apply the pythogorous theorem for finding the unknown side.

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ. Given that WX→ and WZ→ are are opposite rays, and m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ) is m∠YWZ?.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

m∠YWZ=36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (WX and WZ) form a single straight line through the common endpoint W.

If rays WX and WZ are opposite, then angle XWZ is straight angle. A straight angle always has the measure of 180°.

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ, then angles XWY and EWZ are supplementary angles (together form straight angle XWZ). Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, then

m∠XWY+m∠YWZ=180°

You are given that

m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ).

Substitute it into the previous equality:

4(m∠YWZ)+m\angle YWZ=180°

5(m∠YWZ)=180°

m∠YWZ=36°

Which of the following statements describes one part of completing the square for x 2 + 4x = 32?
Westkost [7]

SOS:

Answer:

Take the square root of 36 and subtract 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+4x=32\\(\frac{1}{2}*4=2; 2^2=4) : x^2+4x+4=36\\\sqrt{(x+2)^2}=\sqrt{36}\\ x+2=±6: -2+6=4, -2-6=-8

One of your friends is testing the effect of drinking coffee on the duration of cold symptoms. The common cold lasts, on average
Goshia [24]

Answer: 0.0930

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

H0: μcoffee = 6

Ha: μcoffee < 6

She finds z = −1.68 with one-sided P-value P = 0.0465.

The P-value for two-tailed test is calculated by :

2P(Z>|z|)

For z= -1.68 , we have

2P(Z>|-1.68|)=2P(Z>1.68)

=2(1-P(z\leq1.68))\ \ [\because\ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z\leq z)]

=2(1-0.9535213)\ \ \ [\text{ NORM.S.DIST(z, TRUE}]\\\\=2( 0.0464787)=0.0929573\approx0.0930  

Hence, the correct two-sided P-value for z = −1.68 is 0.0930 .

How to find the point that is equidistant from (5,-5) and (1,1)
torisob [31]
<h3>Answer: (3, -2)</h3>

Explanation:

Your teacher wants you to find the midpoint. This is the point that is in the middle of the two given points. Let's call this M. So the distance from M to (5,-5) will be the same as the distance from M to (1,1)

The x coordinates of (5,-5) and (1,1) are 5 and 1 respectively.

Add them up: 5+1 = 6

Divide by two: 6/2 = 3

The x coordinate of the midpoint is x = 3

Repeat for the y values -5 and 1

Add: -5+1 = -4

Divide in half: -4/2 = -2

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = -2

So the midpoint is M = (x,y) = (3,-2)

If you were to use the distance formula, you would find that

distance from (5,-5) to (3,-2) = distance from (3,-2) to (1,1)

This is what it means to be "equidistant" (aka "equally distant")
