The angle the radius makes with AB is a right angle, so the Pythagorean theorem applies.
r² = 17.4² - 7² = 253.76
r = √253.76 ≈ 15.9

The length of radius r is about 15.9.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-8(17-12)}{-2(8-(-2))} \\=\frac{-8(5)}{-2(8+2)} \\=\frac{-40}{-2(10)} \\=\frac{-40}{-20} \\=2$

Divide 28 cans into 2 groups so the ratio is 3 to 4

zysi [14]

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{first group}}{\textit{second group}}\qquad 3:4\qquad \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot \frac{28}{3+4}}{4\cdot \frac{28}{3+4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot \frac{28}{7}}{4\cdot \frac{28}{7}}\implies \cfrac{12}{16}$

Answer:

Length of smaller side = 15 inches

Length of bigger side = 36 inches

Length of hypotenuse = 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of smaller side = a

Length of bigger side = (a + 21) inches

Length of hypotenuse = (a + 24) inches

Find:

Length of all side

Computation:

Using Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²

(a+24)² = a² + (a+21)²

a² + 576 + 48a = a² + a² + 441 + 42a

a² - 6a - 135 = 0

(a-15)(a+7)

a = 15 inches a = -7 inches

So,

Length of smaller side = a = 15 inches

Length of bigger side = (a + 21) inches = 15 + 21 = 36 inches

Length of hypotenuse = (a + 24) inches = 15 + 24 = 39 inches
