The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 2√13 cm . If the smaller side is increased by 2 cm and the larger side is increased

White raven [17]

Statement:

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 2√13 cm. If the smaller side is increased by 2 cm and the larger side is increased by 3 cm, the new hypotenuse will be √117 cm.

To find out:

The length of the larger side of the right angled triangle.

Solution:

Let us consider x as the smaller side and y as the larger side.

Then, in the right angled triangle,

x² + y² = (2√13)² ...(I) [By Pythagoras Theorem]

Now, if the smaller side is increased by 2 cm, then the smaller side will be (x + 2).

And if the larger side is increased by 3 cm, then the larger side will be (y + 3).

Then, in the new right angled triangle,

(x + 2)² + (y + 3)² = (√117)² [By Pythagoras Theorem]

or, x² + 2 × 2 × x + 2² + y² + 2 × 3 × y + 3² = (√117)²

or, x² + 4x + 4 + y² + 6y + 9 = (√117)²

or, x² + y² + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117)²

Now, put the value of x² + y² from equation (I),

or, (2√13)² + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117)²

or, (2 × 2 × √13 × √13) + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117 × √117)

or, 52 + 4x + 6y + 13 = 117

or, 4x + 6y = 117 - 52 - 13

or, 4x + 6y = 52

or, 4x = 52 - 6y

or, x = $\frac {(52 - 6y)}{4}$ ...(II)

Now, put the value of x of equation (II) in (I),

x² + y² = (2√13)²

or, $\frac {(2704-624y +36y²)}{16}$ + y² = 52

or, $\frac {(2704-624y +36y² + 16y²)}{16}$ = 52

or, 52y²-624y + 2704 = 52 × 16

or, 52y² - 624y + 2704 - 832 = 0

or, 52y² - 624y + 1872 = 0

or, 52(y² - 12y + 36) = 0

or, y²-12y +36 = 0 ÷ 52

or, y²-12y +36 = 0

or, (y)² - 2 × 6 × y + (6)² = 0

or, (y - 6)² = 0

or, y - 6=0

or, y = 6

We have taken y as the length of the larger side of the right angled triangle.

So, the length of the larger side is 6 cm.

Answer:

6 cm

6. Does the set of ordered

Zolol [24]

Answer: this is not a function because the X values are repeating for example we see that 0 is set in the X value side it can’t have 5 and -5 as it’s y at the same time therefor it’s not a function

Find the perimeter of the figure to the nearest hundredth.

babunello [35]

Answer:

50.28 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Image, we can find the length of the arc of the semi-circle by dividing the circumference of the resulting circle by 2

Radius= 9in

C= 2πr

C=2*3.142*9

C= 56.556 inches

Hence the length of the arc is

=56.556/2

=28.278 inches

The perimeter of the shape

=28.278+5+12+5

=50.28 inches

Determine the astm grain size number if 33 grains per square inch are measured at a magnification of 270×

strojnjashka [21]

8.9

The equation for the grain size is expressed as the equality:
Nm(M/100)^2 = 2^(n-1)
where
Nm = number of grains per square inch at magnification M.
M = Magnification
n = ASTM grain size number

Let's solve for n, then substitute the known values and calculate.
Nm(M/100)^2 = 2^(n-1)

log(Nm(M/100)^2) = log(2^(n-1))
log(Nm) + 2*log(M/100) = (n-1) * log(2)
(log(Nm) + 2*log(M/100))/log(2) = n-1
(log(Nm) + 2*log(M/100))/log(2) + 1 = n

(log(33) + 2*log(270/100))/log(2) + 1 = n
(1.51851394 + 2*0.431363764)/0.301029996 + 1 = n
(1.51851394 + 0.862727528)/0.301029996 + 1 = n
2.381241468/0.301029996 + 1 = n
7.910312934 + 1 = n
8.910312934 = n

So the ASTM grain size number is 8.9

If you want to calculate the number of grains per square inch, you'd use the
same formula with M equal to 1. So:
Nm(M/100)^2 = 2^(n-1)
Nm(1/100)^2 = 2^(8.9-1)
Nm(1/10000) = 2^7.9
Nm(1/10000) = 238.8564458
Nm = 2388564.458

Or about 2,400,000 grains per square inch.
