the pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2

You have a and c already, so its 5^2+b^2=13^2

13^2 equals 169. 5^2 equals 25.

You now have 25+b^2=169

169-25=144

The square root of 144 is 12.

The other leg is 12 units

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, use the graph to determine the value of k.<br> g(x)<br> f(x)

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the equations of each function.

f(x) = x/3 - 3

g(x) = x/3 + 1

Then plug these values for g(x) = f(x) + k.

x/3 + 1 = x/3 - 3 + k subtract x/3 on both sides

1 = -3 + k add -3 on both sides

k = 4 we're done!

and this makes sense because g(x) is just a translation of f(x) 4 units up.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 15 cm and one of its legs measures 4 cm.

Ann [662]

Answer:

14.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = hypotenuse (15)

to solve for b (other leg), the equation is b^2 = c^2-a^2

15^2 - 4^2 = 209

$\sqrt{209}$ = approx. 14.5

the other leg is (rounded to the nearest 10th) 14.5 cm
