Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

Answer:

the missing length is 14 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:  For right angle triangle,

Sum of the squares of the two side = Square of longest side    i.e,

a² + b² = c²                  ......[1]

In the given right triangle:

we are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c = 50 unit, and one leg, b= 48 unit.

The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle.

To find the length of leg a:

Putting the values of b and c in equation [1];

a^2+(48)^2=(50)^2 or

a^2+2,304=2500 or

a^2=2500-2304 = 196 unit

∴ a= \sqrt{196}

⇒ a= 14 unit

Therefore, the missing length a is ,  14 unit

marias school is selling tickets to the annual talent show. On thr first day ticket sales the school sold 4 adult tickets and 12
Ostrovityanka [42]

Let us say,

Price of adult ticket=x

Price of child ticket =y

On the first day ticket sales the school sold 4 adult tickets and 12 child tickets for total of $80

4x+12y=80.............(1)

took $41 on the second day by selling 1 adult ticket and 10 child tickets

1x+10y=41.............(2)

x=41-10y..............(3)

plugging the value of x from equation (3) in equation (1) we get,

4(41-10y)+12y=80

164-40y+12y=80

84=28y

y=3

plugging this value of y in equation (2) we get,

1x+10(3)=41

x=11

Price of adult ticket= 11 dollars

Price of child ticket = 3 dollars

Mumz [18]

Remark

Good thing to know. This is a rounding question.

A

Answer A is a bit nasty. I round 5 to the next highest number on the left. That may not be what you have been told to do. Let us round A to  5.7 and see if anything else does this.

B

Answer B rounds to 5.6

C

Answer C rounds to 5.6 as well. 3 is less than 5 so you round down.

D

Answer D rounds to 5.6(.) The zero has no effect on the 6.

Answer

Since there is nothing special about A and nothing else rounds to 5.7, the answer is A. So your rule is when the last number is 5, you round the second last number to one more than it was, regardless of the properties of the second last number.

A science teacher gives a test with 15 questions. This teacher is a hard grader. The teacher assigns points in the following man
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:  The standard deviation was calculated incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The standard deviation measures the dispersion of the data values from the mean value.

It cannot be negative , because it is the square root of the variance .

We add all squared deviations from the data points away from the mean and (then divide it by the number of data values) to evaluate variance.

Since , any squared number cannot give a negative result.

⇒ Standard deviation cannot be negative.

⇒The standard deviation was calculated incorrectly.

Rest other things (given in options) can not be interpreted on the basis of given information.
