Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

9^2+b^2=12^2

81+b^2=144               <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2.

b=3\sqrt{7} is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>

At 9:00 pm bob leaves his home and starts walking to the bus stop at a constant speed of 9.3 feet per second. bob's house is 432
klio [65]
a. define variables for the quantities that are changing (be specific).
 We define variables:
 t = time in second
 d = distance traveled
 The variables that are changing are t and d.
 As the time increases, the distance decreases.

 b. what does it mean to say bob walks at a constant speed of 9.3 feet per second?
 It means that for every second that passes, Bob walks 9.3 feet.

 c. consider the formula d = 4320 - 9.3t i. what does t represent? ii. what does 9.3t represent? iii. what does d represent? 
 For this case we have:
 t = represents the time in seconds
 9.3t = represents the distance traveled by Bob
 d = represents the distance Bob must travel to get to the bus stop.

I’m the triangle shown below what is the approximate value of x
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is choice B: 22.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras's theorem which says for a right triangle with sides x,y and hypotenuse z:

x^2+y^2=z^2.

In our case

z=26

y=13

So we solve for x:

x=\sqrt{z^2-y^2}=\sqrt{26^2-13^2}  =\boxed{22.52\: units.}

Which is choice B.

h(x)=44x+8-(30x+15)

=44x+8-30x-15

=44x-30x+8-15

=14x-7

Keri is making a doll clothes for a holiday craft show. The wholesale cost of the materials for one outfit is $9.38. If she sell
irinina [24]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

If I get you right, you're asking for the percentage gain to the nearest percentage, right?

Now to do this, we need to get the amount of profit she made. That's quite easy, we only need to subtract the cost price from the selling price. And that equals $15 - $9.38 that equals $5.62.

Now, we divide this value by the cost price and multiply by 100% to get the percentage gain.

I.e 5.62/9.38 × 100%.

That gives 59.9% , which equals 60% when approximated to the nearest percentage.
