Answer:

BC = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of BC you need to use the pythagorean theorem.  

a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}

There are two part to a triangle that need to be put into this equation.  The hypotenuse(c) and the legs(a, b).  The legs would be the side NEXT to the right angle.  The hypotenuse is ACROSS from the right angle.  In this equation we are looking for the hypotenuse.  It doesn't matter which letter the legs replace just remember that the hypotenuse alway has to be C.

20^{2} +15^{2} =c^{2}

Now you have to square the numbers then add.

400+225=c^{2}

625=c^{2}

Now find the square root of 625 to get rid of the squared in the C.

c = 25

Hope this helped.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercept is the point that touches the x axis

The y-intercept is the point that touches the y-axis

So...

The x-intercept = (0, -40)

The y-intercept = (0, 15)

HELP!!!!!
choli [55]

Answer:

  x = 64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is proportional to the actual:

  (6 m)/(3/4 cm) = x/(8 cm)

Multiplying by 8 cm, we get ...

  x = (8 cm)·(6 m)/(3/4 cm)

  x = 64 m . . . . the width of the actual wall

Kelsey graphed the equation y = 3x + 1 as shown below.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D. Kelsey graphed the slope as the y-intercept and the y-intercept as the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to graph was : y= 3x + 1 where the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 1

However, Kelsey graph line passes through points (-3, 0)and (0, 3).From these points the equation of the line is;

m=Δy/Δx  where

m=the slope of the graph

Δy= 3-0 =3

Δx= 0--3 =3

m=3/3 = 1

The equation of the line should be;

m=Δy/Δx

1=y-3/x-0

1x= y-3

3+1x= y

y= 1x + 3 ----------where the slope is 1 and y-intercept is 3

So you can see here that in the original equation,<em> the slope m is 3 and y-intercept is 1 as shown in the first attached graph.</em>

While in the Kelsey's graph, <em>the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 3 as in the second attached graph. </em>

<em>Thus, the correct answer is D : Kelsey graphed </em><u><em>the slope,3</em></u><em> as the </em><em>y-intercept </em><em>and the</em><u><em> y-intercept,1,</em></u><em> as the slope. </em>

Answer choice A is incorrect because Kelsey didnot graph the y-intercept, 1 on the x-axis but graphed point (-3,0) on the x-axis.

Answer choice B is incorrect because on Kelsey's equation the y-intercept is 3 and not -3. i.e. y=1x + 3

Answer choice C is incorrect because Kelsey graphed the slope as up 1 right 1 which is okay per the equation , y=1x+3.However, this incorrect because the correct graph has a slope of 3.
