Using the Pythagorean theorem:

15^2 = 12^2 + X^2

225 = 144 + x^2

X^2 = 225 - 144

x^2 = 81

x = √81

x = 9


The distance is 9 feet.

The answer is A.

The greater of two consecutive EVEN numbers is 40 less than twice the smaller number. Find the larger number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

<h3>           44</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  some integer

2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)

2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z  (the larger one)

2(2z)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40    - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2

4z - 40 = 2z + 2

2z = 42

 

2z+2 = 42+2 = 44

check:

2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44

Determine the standard form of the equation for the circle with center (h,k) = (-5 ½) and radius r =1
wariber [46]
Asuuing yo meant (h,k)=(-5,1/2)

equation is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
(h,k) is center and r=radious
given that (h,k)=(-5,1/2) and r=1
h=-5
k=1/2

(x-(-5))^2+(y- \frac{1}{2} )^2=1^2
(x+5)^2+(y- \frac{1}{2} )^2=1
if you wanted us to expand
x²+y^2+10x-y+25.25=1
