Using the Pythagorean Theorem formula, the measurement of the unknown side (base) is <u>12 units</u>.

<h3>How can the measurement of the unknown side of a right triangle be determined?</h3>

According to the Pythagorean Theorem formula, c² = √a²+b², where c = hypotenuse, a = perpendicular, and b = base.

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle.

The shortest side is the perpendicular (adjacent side) while the other side is the base (opposite side).

Since the hypotenuse is given as equal to the square root of perpendicular squared and the base squared, we can compute the base, unknown side, using the following Pythagorean Theorem formula.

c² = √a²+b²

The perpendicular (shortest side) of a right triangle = 5

The hypotenuse (longest side) = 13

c² = √a²+b²

169 = √5²+b²

169 = √25 + b²

The base (unknown side):

b² = 169 - 25

b² = 144

The square root of √144 = 12

b = 12

Thus, the unknown side of the right triangle is the base, measuring <u>12 units</u>.

The length of the unknown side is 12 units, which is the base of the right triangle.

The right triangle's perpendicular (shortest side) = 5 units

The right triangle's hypotenuse (longest side) = 13 units

According to the Pythagorean Theorem,

H² = P² + B², Where H = hypotenuse, P = perpendicular, and B = base.

As per the given question, here H = 13 and P = 5

Substitute the values of H = 13 and P = 5 in the Pythagorean Theorem,

(13)² = (5)²+ B²

169 = 25 + B²

B² = 169 - 25

B² = 144

B = √144

B = 12 units

Therefore, the length of the unknown side is 12 units,

Differentiate the function. f(x) = ln(25 sin^2(x))
tigry1 [53]
Use the chain rule.
Let u = 25sin²(x), such that dy/dx = dy/du · du/dx

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{25sin^{2}(x)} \cdot 50cos(x) \cdot sin(x)
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2cos(x) sin(x)}{sin^{2}(x)}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2cot(x)

A radar is designed to report the track of an aircraft every 2 seconds. If this radar reports 15 reports 15 tracks in one minute
meriva

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since radar reports 30 tracks in one minute in which 60 seconds makes 1 minute

Let calculate using this formula

Using this formula

Percentage of time=Tracks reported in minutes/60 seconds*100

Let plug in the formula

Percentage of time=30 tracks/60 seconds*100

Percentage of time=0.5*100

Percentage of time=50%

Inconclusion The percentage of the time that  radar track the aircraft is 50%
