Answer:

the length of one leg of the triangle is, 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition: 45°-45°-90°

In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the length of one leg of the triangle is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times the length of Hypotenuse of the triangle.

Let x be the length of one leg of the triangle.

As per the statement:

The hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 7√2 units

⇒ $\text{Length of Hypotenuse side} = 7\sqrt{2}$ units.

By definition of 45°-45°-90° ;

$x =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \text{Length of hypotenuse side}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$x = \frac{7\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

Simplify:

$x = 7$ units

Therefore, the length of one leg of the triangle is, 7 units

The two lines graphed below are parallel. How many solutions are there to the system of equations?

coldgirl [10]

Solutions just means the amount of times the lines intersect, so there are no solutions. Since the lines are parallel, they’re going the exact same direction forever and ever, never intersecting. Hope this helps!

to win a basketball game, one team scored 151 points. They made a total of 62 two-pointers and three pointers how many of the ba

wolverine [178]

That's a huge number of points.

First: Calculate the value of 62 two pointers

62 * 2 = 124

Second: find the number of points that were due to 3 pointers.

151 - 124 = 27

Third: Divide by 3 to find the number of 3 pointers.

27÷3 = 9

Answer: There were 9 three pointers.

use the general slicing method to find the volume of The solid whose base is the triangle with vertices (0 comma 0 ), (15 comma

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

volume V of the solid

$\boxed{V=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation is depicted in the picture attached

(see picture)

First, we divide the segment [0, 5] on the X-axis into n equal parts of length 5/n each

[0, 5/n], [5/n, 2(5/n)], [2(5/n), 3(5/n)],..., [(n-1)(5/n), 5]

Now, we slice our solid into n slices.

Each slice is a quarter of cylinder 5/n thick and has a radius of

-k(5/n) + 5 for each k = 1,2,..., n (see picture)

So the volume of each slice is

$\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-k(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}$

for k=1,2,..., n

We then add up the volumes of all these slices

$\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-2(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}+...+\displaystyle\frac{\pi(-n(5/n) + 5 )^2*(5/n)}{4}$

Notice that the last term of the sum vanishes. After making up the expression a little, we get

$\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left[(-(5/n)+5)^2+(-2(5/n)+5)^2+...+(-(n-1)(5/n)+5)^2\right]=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2$

But

$\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(-k(5/n)+5)^2=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}((5/n)^2k^2-(50/n)k+25)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)$

we also know that

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}$

and

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k=\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$

so we have, after replacing and simplifying, the sum of the slices equals

$\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left((5/n)^2\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2-(50/n)\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{5\pi}{4n}\left(\displaystyle\frac{25}{n^2}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{6}-\displaystyle\frac{50}{n}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)}{2}+25(n-1)\right)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}$

Now we take the limit when n tends to infinite (the slices get thinner and thinner)

$\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\displaystyle\frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{n^3}=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(2-3/n+1/n^2)=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{24}.2=\displaystyle\frac{125\pi}{12}$
