One leg of a right triangle is 21 inches longer than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 39 inches.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

One leg - 15 inches

Second leg - 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg - x inches.

Second leg - (x + 21) inches.

Hypotenuse - 39 inches.

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (x + 21)² = 39²

x² + x² + 2*21x  + 21² = 39²

2x² + 42x - 39² + 21² = 0

2x² + 42x - 1080 = 0

x² + 21x - 540 = 0

(x - 15)(x + 36) = 0

x = 15, x = - 36

We can use only positive value.

One leg - x inches = 15 inches

Second leg - (x + 21) inches = 15+21=36 inches.

<u>We have similar triangles here.</u>

  • BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC

<u>The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:</u>

  • BC/DE = AC/AE
  • BC / 2 = 30/3
  • BC / 2 = 10
  • BC = 2*10
  • BC = 20 m

Leno4ka [110]
The distribution of the number of occurrences of the letter t on the pages of a book is found to be a normal distribution with a mean of 44 and a standard deviation of 18. If there are 500 pages in the book, which sentence most closely summarizes the data?

A. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 170 of these pages. 

B. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 15 of these pages. 

C. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 420 of these pages. 

D. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 80 of these pages.

.Answer: 
<span>mean = 44 </span>
<span>sd = 18 </span>
<span>that means that "26" is 1 s.d. down, or at the 16th %ile </span>


<span>so, there is a .16 chance that "t" will occur less than 26 times on any single page. </span>
<span>consequently, there is a .84 chance that it will occur more than 26 times on any single page. </span>

<span>Using that information, and knowing that 16% of 500 is 80, and 84% of 500 is 420, can you see where "C" is correct? </span>

Vesnalui [34]

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to the question, the right combination of 2 wires cut (out of the 4 wires ) will defuse the bomb. To find all the possible combinations we using the following formulae;

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!

⁴₂C = 4! / 2! * (4-2)!

⁴₂C = 24 / 2 * 2

⁴₂C = 6

  • There are a possible 6 combinations
  • Therefore for probability of cutting the right combination of 2 wires is 1/6
