⓵ The pythagorean theorem is calculated by using this formula : a² + b² = c²

“a” is the length of one of the legs
“b” is the length of the other leg
“c” is the length of the hypotenuse

⓶ Now that you have the formula, replace the letters in the formula with the information that you have :

8² + b² = 10²

⓷ Now that this is done, you need to isolate the “b²” in order to find the length of the other leg of the triangle :

8² + b² = 10²
-8² -8²

↓

b² = 36
√b² √36

↓

b = 6

So the final answer is : the length of the other leg of the triangle is ↠ 6 feet

I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

Answer:

C. (1, 1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well plugging them in one by one.

x + y - z = 0

-1 + 2 - 4 = 0

no.... no it doesn't equal 0 so it isn't the solution

-1 + 0 - 2 = 0

nope it doesn't equal 0 so it's also not the solution

1 + 1 - 2 = 0

Yes! this could equal the solution so lets keep going down the line

3x - y + z = 4

(3*1) -1 + 2 = 4

Yes! this also is correct

I could keep talking and talking but yes, (1, 1, 2) is your answer

Hope this helps! <3

Worth lot of points :))))
maxonik [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

-4/3 = (6 - y)/[4-(-2)]

-4/3 = (6-y)/6

(-4/3)×6 = 6-y

-8 = 6-y

y = 6 + 8

= 14
