Answer:

12 cm is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation: a² + b² = c² , in which c is the hypotenuse, and a & b are the other sides.

Note that the hypotenuse is 15, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables

a² + (9)² = (15)²

Simplify. First, solve for the solvable squares

a² + 81 = 225

Isolate the variable a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 81 from both sides:

a² + 81 (-81) = 225 (-81)

a² = 225 - 81

a² = 144

Isolate the variable a. Root both sides.

√(a²) = √(144)

a = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12

a = 12

12 cm is your answer

What pattern is represented by the polynomial ?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

choice C. Perfect square trinomial is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the pattern which is represented by the polynomial $4x^2+12x+9$ .

To find that pattern, we need to factor $4x^2+12x+9$

$4x^2+12x+9$

$=4x^2+6x+6x+9$

$=2x(2x+3)+3(2x+3)$

$=(2x+3)(2x+3)$

$=(2x+3)^2$

which is a perfect square.

Hence choice C. Perfect square trinomial is correct.

Answer:

D. The ratio of the circumference to the diameter is the same for both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

dilation in a shape is either it becoming bigger or smaller, no matter what factor you dilate the shape by its ratio will still remain the same, such as when you simplify a fraction.
