What is the length of the missing leg

Mathematics
2 answers:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2

In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.

If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2

Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169

Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.

Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.

Answer: 12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side.

a^2 + 5^2 = 13^2

a^2 + 25 = 169

subtract 25 from both sides

a^2 = 144

take the square root of both sides

a = 12

An isosceles right triangle has an area 8 cm square find the length of its hypotenuse​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

5.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height. the base is the horizontal part of the triangle and the height is the vertical part. Since it a isosceles they are equal. Those two segment are also called the legs (remember that for later). 4x4=16 times 1/2 equal 8 cm squared. So know me must find the hypotenuse. Since we since dealing with a right triangle we are going to use pythagorean theorem which is

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} =  {c}^{2}

where a and b are the LEGS and c is the hypotenuse. the legs are also known as base and height so we use

{4}^{2}  +  {4}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

which simplify to

16 + 16  =  {c}^{2}

32 =  {c}^{2}

\sqrt{32}

which is about 5.9

A curve in polar coordinates is given by: r=9+3cosθ. Point P is at θ=21π/18 .?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a curve in polar coordinates is given by:

r=9+3cosθ

a) At point P, we have

θ=\frac{21\pi}{18}

Substitute to get

r=9+cos \frac{21\pi}{18}\\=9.3932

b) Cartesian coordinate is

x= rcos \theta=3.6934\\y =r sin \tjeta =8.6365

c) At the origin r =0

when r =0

we have

9+3cos\theta=0\\cos\theta =-3

Since cos cannot take values as -3 it doe snot pass through origin.

8. The volume of the pyramid is 168 cubic inches. Find the length of the rectangular base. (3pts)7 inI8 in.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The length of the rectangular base is 9in

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

It is important to note that the formula for determining the volume of a pyramid with rectangular base is expressed as;

Volume = lwh/3

Where;

  • l is the length of the rectangular base of the pyramid
  • w is the width of the rectangular base of the pyramid
  • h is the height of the rectangular base of the pyramid

Given the value of the volume, width an height of the pyramid as 168, 7 and 8, we substitute the values, we have;

168 = l × 7 × 8/ 3

cross multiply

l × 7 × 8 = 168(3)

Find the product

56l = 504

To determine the length, divide both sides by 56, we get;

l = 504/ 56

l = 9In

Hence, the value is 9in
