Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean thm. says a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse, c = 17

Leg b =8

a^2=c^2-b^2

a^2=17*17-8*8

a^2=289-64

a^2=225

Take the square root of both sides.

a = 15

Solve each system by the addition method.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(x, y) = (2, -1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = -1

5x - 4y = 16

<=>

(2)x + (2)2y = (2)(-1)

5x - 4y = 16

<=>

2x + 4y = -2

5x - 4y = 16

<=>

7x = 14

<=>

x = 2

(*)x + 2y = -1

=> 2 + 2y = -1

=> 2y = -3

=> y = -1.5

=> (x, y) = (2, -1.5)

For the values a=8 which is a leg of a right triangle and value c=19 which is the hypotenuse find the length of the other leg b

FinnZ [79.3K]

C^2=a^2+b^2 we are given the hypotenuse of 19 units and one leg of 8 units so:

19^2=8^2+b^2

361=64+b^2

b^2=297

b=√297

b≈17.2 to the nearest tenth
