Answer: x = 9

Step-by-Step Solution:

Hypotenuse = 15 units

Base = 12 units

Altitude = x units

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2

(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2

225 = 144 + x^2

225 - 144 = x^2

81 = x^2

x^2 = 81

x = √81

=> x = 9

Therefore, Altitude = 9 units

you are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 31 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Car: (31 1/2 miles)/(1 1/4 gallons)

(63/2) miles / (5/4) gallons

(63/2)*(4/5) = 25.2 miles/gallon.

Red Car: (27 1/5 miles)/(4/5 gallon)

= 34 miles/gallon.

The Red Car will travel the furthest.

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown below what is the volume of the prism in cubic feet

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B. 192.5 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a triangle prism, multiply the base, height, and length together, and then divide it by 2 (or multiply that by 0.5).

(5 * 7 * 11)/2

Multiply 5 by 7 to get 35.

(35 * 11)/2

Multiply 35 by 11 to get 385.

385/2

192.5 ft³ is the volume of this triangluar prism.

Two linear equations are shown. A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals StartFraction one-third EndFr

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$(7,\frac{13}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The equation of the first line

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2$ ------> equation A

The equation of the second line

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-5$ ------> equation B

Solve the system of equations by elimination

Multiply equation A by -4 both sides

$(-4)y=(-4)(\frac{1}{3}x+2)$

$-4y=-\frac{4}{3}x-8$ --------> equation C

Adds equation B and equation C

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-5\\-4y=-\frac{4}{3}x-8\\--------\\y-4y=-5-8\\-3y=-13\\y=\frac{13}{3}$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y

$\frac{13}{3}=\frac{1}{3}x+2$

$\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{13}{3}-2$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$x=13-6$

$x=7$

therefore

The solution to the system of equations is the point $(7,\frac{13}{3})$
