Answer:

9 units and 12 units to nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one leg be x units long  then the other = x+3 units.

By Pythagoras:

x^2 + (x+3)^2 = 15^2 = 225

2x^2 + 6x + 9 = 225

2x^2 + 6x - 216 =0

x^2 + 3x - 108 = 0

(x - 9)(x + 12) = 0

x = 9

So the other 2 legs are 9 and 12.

The question is asking how many combinations of two people can be made from a group of ten people.

Using the formula C(10,2) = 10!/(2! x (10 - 2)! = 10!/(2! x 8!) = 45 handshakes.

A simple way to prove this is each person shakes the hand of 9 other people
10 x 9 = 90 but this counts every handshake from the view of both people involved.
The actual number of handshakes is therefore 90 / 2 = 45

Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 2.0×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met
Vitek1552 [10]

For light: Inverse Square Law 

<span>
The signal is weaken by the inverse square of the difference of distances this means that one over the square of the difference. </span>

<span>
</span>

Therefore, 70000LY / 141 LY =496.45 and that squared =246462.602 times less signal, or 1/246462.602.


 2 For a circular telescope like the Arecibo radio telescope that equals Pi times the radius squared. Sensitivity of the telescope depends on its area.<span>
The new telescope needs 246462.60 times that area to have enough sensitivity </span>

<span>
<span>(150 x 150 x Pi) = 70 685 sq m area for the Arecibo telescope and that times 246462.60
= 1.74212 x 10^10</span></span>

<span><span>
</span></span>

What is the diameter of a circle with that area?

 <span>
<span>1. Divide the area by Pi = 5.548156 x 10^9
2. Take the square root of the result to find the radius = 74485.94293</span></span>

3. Multiply by 2 to find the diameter = <span>148971.886</span>
