Answer:

A. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem which states that: Hypotenus² = Opposite² + Adjacent²

Where: hypotenus = 10, opposite = x, adjacent = 8

So:

${10}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {8}^{2}$

Solving for x

$100 = {x}^{2} + 64$

Collect like terms to make x the subject of formula

$100 - 64 = {x}^{2} →36 = {x}^{2}$

$36 = {x}^{2} ⟹ {x}^{2} = 36$

square root both sides of the equation to find the value of x

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = \sqrt{36} →x = 6$

Therefore: Option A is correct

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:3. there are 9 girls. how many boys are in the class?

aalyn [17]

For every 3 girls, there are 4 boys. if there are nine girls, that expands to three extra boys, because for every three theres an extra one. so there are 12 boys (9+3.) the final ratio, boys to girls, is 12:9.

Jacob is a teacher. He made 75 cookies to give to his students on the first day of school. He gave 2 cookies to each student who

Lisa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob has 75 cookies.

He gave 2 cookies to each student.

Complete the table:

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Number of student arrived}&\text{Number of cookies left}\\1&75-2=73\\2&73-2=71\\3&71-2=69\\...&...\end{array}$

Let n be the number of students. After nth student arrived Jacob had left

$g(n)=75-2n$

cookies.

This is an arithmetic sequence with

$g_1=g(1)=73\\ \\d=-2$

Thus,

$g_{n}=g_{n-1}-2\\ \\g(n)=g(n-1)-2$

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area.

Andrej [43]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

If a rectangle and a triangle have the same area.

Then,

L × B = 1/2 × B × H
10 × 3 = 1/2 × 6 × H
30 = 3 × H
30/3 = H
10 = H

Hence, the height of triangle is 10cm.

A square pyramid. The square base has side lengths of 6 inches. The 4 triangular sides have a base of 6 inches and height of 9 i

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The area of the pyramid’s base is 36 in².

The pyramid has 4 lateral faces.

The surface area of each lateral face is 27 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

"Lateral" means side, so the lateral faces are triangles.

The base is the bottom, which is a square.

To calculate the area of the base, use the formula for area of a square.

$A_{base} = s^{2}$

$A_{base} = (6 in)^{2}$

$A_{base} = 36 in^{2}$

To calculate the area of a lateral face, find the area of a triangle.

$A_{lateral} = \frac{bh}{2}$

$A_{lateral} = \frac{(6 in)(9 in)}{2}$

$A_{lateral} = \frac{54 in^{2}}{2}$

$A_{lateral} = 27 in^{2}$

In a pyramid, the number of lateral faces is the same as the number of sides in the base. The square base as 4 sides, so there are 4 lateral faces.
