The area of the rectangle is 108 square centimeters.

Given Information

The following information has been given in the question,

Length of the diagonal of the rectangle, l = 15 cm

Length of one of the sides of the rectangle, a = 9 cm

Let the other side of the rectangle be b.

Finding the Other Side of the Rectangle

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (perpendicular)²

Applying this theorem in the right-angle triangle formed by the diagonal and 9cm side of the rectangle, we get,

l² = a² + b² [∵ The diagonal makes the hypotenuse]

(15)² = (9)² + b²

b² = (15)² - (9)²

b² = 225 - 81

b² = 144

b = √144

b = 12 cm

Calculating the Area of the Rectangle

Area of the rectangle, A = a × b

A = 9 × 12

A = 108 cm²

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of: ( − 2 , − 4 ) and ( 2 , − 10 )

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

(0, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 10 ) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{-2+2}{2}$ , $\frac{-4-10}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{0}{2}$ , $\frac{-14}{2}$ ) = (0, - 7 )

The bakery bought four bags of flour containing 3.5 kg each 475 g of flour are needed to make a batch of muffins and 0.65 kg is

brilliants [131]

First we have to find total mass of flour.
4*3.5kg=14kg
Now we are calculating how much flour we used for muffins
475g=0.475kg
0.475kg*4muffins=1.9kg
and now how much flour we used for bread
0.65kg*5bread=3.25kg
Finally we can subtract 1.9 and 3.25 from 14kg
14kg-1.9kg-3.25=8.85kg - its the answer

What is the value of (-14^0)^-2?

posledela

Answer:

The value of given expression is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$(-14^0)^{-2}$

If a is a real number, then $a^0=1$ .

$(-1)^{-2}$ $[\because a^0=1]$

Using exponent property we get,

$(-1)^{-2}=\frac{1}{(-1)^2}$ $[\because a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}]$

$(-1)^{-2}=\frac{1}{1}$

$(-1)^{-2}=1$

Therefore the value of given expression is 1.

Please help!! I don’t understand how to do this problem

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = 3x \\ \frac{y}{3} = x \\ \\ \frac{3y}{3} + 2y = 45 \\ y + 2y = 45 \\ 3y = 45 \\ y = \frac{45}{3} \\ y = 15 \\ \\ x = \frac{y}{3} \\ = \frac{15}{3} \\ = 5$
