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

Find the area I will make you Brainliest (show working) the bottom number is 8 cm where it says liveworksheets​
ki77a [65]

Answer:

228cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Multiply 18cm by 10cm:

18 x 10 = 180cm^2

So we have the area of the biggest/top part: 180cm^2

   

For the bottom part:

You've said the length of the bottom side is 8cm.

We know the length of the biggest side: 24cm. And we know the length of the opposite side: 18cm. So, to find the length of the missing side, it's simple subtraction:

24cm - 18cm = 6cm

So now we have lengths for 2 sides: 8cm and 6cm.

Multiply these to give the area:

8cm * 6cm = 48cm^2

Add these areas of both shapes together to give total area:

180cm^2 + 48cm^2 = 228cm^2

Use the graph to find the following.
Levart [38]

a) Local maximum values of g are: 0 and 3

b) The values at which g has local maximum are : -2 and 2

<h3>What is a maximum point?</h3>

A maximum point is the point at which the gradient of the curve changes from positive to negative.

Analysis:

The inverted v-curves all have maximum values and they are two.

The one at x = -2 and the one at x = 2 for in both cases their maximum values are y = 0 and y = 3 respectively.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 cm and the area is 80 cm². Write an equation to model the situation and find the dimensions o
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

16cm by 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2(l+w)  

A= wl

80 factorization: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80.

you then would have to find 2 numbers that would add up to make 42.

When you try 16*2+5*2= 32+10= 42 cm as your perimeter.

16*5= 80 cm^2 as your area.

Answer:

Katherine invested $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

I=P\cdot r\cdot t,

where

I = interest,

P = principal,

r = rate (as decimal),

t = time (in years).

In your case,

t = 1 year,

r = 0.06 (or 6%)

P + I =$12,720, thus

12,720-P=P\cdot 0.06\cdot 1\\ \\12,720-P=0.06P\\ \\12,720=P+0.06P\\ \\1.06P=12,720\\ \\P=\dfrac{12,720}{1.06}\\ \\P=\$12,000\\ \\I=\$12,720-\$12,000=\$720
