Answer:

A) x = 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : A triangle

To find : What is the value of x to the nearest tenth.

Solution : We have given a triangle with hypotenuse = 12 units,

Opposite side = 7 , adjacent = x.

By the Pythagorean  theorem :

(hypotenuse )² = ( adjacent )² + ( opposite)².

Plug the values

(12)² = ( x )² + ( 7)².

144 =  ( x )² +  49.

On subtracting both sides by 49.

144 -49 =  ( x )²

95 =  ( x )²

Taking square root

√95 = x.

x = 9.7

Therefore, A) x = 9.7

Use the Pythagorean theorem. The equation for this right triangle would be a^2+b^2=c^2. Since you have one leg and the hypotenuse, you can plug these into the equation. It would be 7^2+b^2=12^2. Do the exponents. You will get 49+b^2=144. You need to get b by itself so subtract each side by 49. You get the equation b^2=95. Square root each side to get b=9.746. This rounds to 9.7. So the answer is A. Hope this helps! ;)

Find the mean of the number set.<br> 93, 81, 94,78, 89, 92, 94,99
777dan777 [17]

Answer: 90

Step-by-step explanation: The mean of a data set is equal to the

sum of the set of numbers divided by how many numbers are in the set.

So to find the mean of the data set

shown here, begin by adding the numbers.

Adding the numbers, we get 720.

This will be divided by the number of numbers in the set, or 8.

So we have 720/8 or 90.

So the mean of the data set shown here is 90.
