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

Point N is on line segment MO. Given NO=2x−3, MO=3x+5, and MN=2x+3, determine the numerical length of MO.
ELEN [110]

Answer:-19

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5-(2x-3)=0

3x+5-2x+3=0

x+8=0

x=-8

substitute x into 3x+5 to find the length of MO

3x+5

3(-8)+5

-24+5

the diameter of your bicycle wheel is 34 inches.What is its radius?How far will you move in one turn if your wheel?What is the d
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is always half the radius.

Thus, in this case, the radius is (1/2)(34 in) = 17 in.

The "how far" question is answerable by finding the circumference of the wheel.  The circumference, C, is found by calculating C = πd, where d is the diameter of the circle in question.

Here, C = (34 in)π, which comes out to 106.81 inches.  The bike will move 106.81 inches forward if the wheel turns once.

If the wheel turns 5 times, the total distance traveled is 5 times the circumference, or 5(106.81 in) = 534.07 in.
