How much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg?

a. 2 ft

b. 4 ft

c. 8 ft

d. 10 ft

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔACB :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(AB)^2=(AC)^2+(BC)^2

Given:

Side AC = 6 ft

Side BC = 8 ft

Now put all the values in the above expression, we get the value of side AB.

(AB)^2=(6)^2+(8)^2

AB=\sqrt{(6)^2+(8)^2}

AB=10ft

Now we have to calculate the how much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.

Difference = Side AB - Side AC

Difference = 10 ft - 6 ft

Difference = 4 ft

Therefore, the 4 ft longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.

Given the equations x + y = 20 and x - y = 8, which values of x and y
hammer [34]

Answer:

x = 14 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to this problem, we plug in the values of x and y from each answer choice and simplify.

1.

  • (11) + (9) = 20. 20 = 20.
  • (11) - (9) = 20. 2 ≠ 8.

2.

  • (9) + (11) = 20. 20 = 20
  • (9) - (11) = 20. -2 ≠ 8.

3.

  • (14) + (6) = 20. 20 = 20.
  • (14) - (6) = 8. 8 = 8.

4.

  • (6) + (14) = 20. 20 = 20
  • (6) - (14) = 8. -8 ≠ 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 14 and y = 6.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

A 25 - foot ladder is leaned against a wall. If the base of the ladder is 7 ft from the wall,
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladder, wall, and ground form a right triangle, you can use this formula:

A squared + B squared = C squared

A = 7 feet

C = 25 feet

B = distance the ladder will reach

49 + B squared = 625

B squared = 625 - 49

B = square root of 576

B = 24 feet

pychu [463]

The amount given to charity from Kendall’s profit is $168.0146

Given:

  • Kendall’s profit = $1292.42
  • Percentage given to charity = 13%

<h3>How to find percentage</h3>

Amount given to charity = Percentage given to charity × Kendall’s profit

= 13% of $1292.42

= 13/100 × 1292.42

= 0.13 × 1292.42

= $168.0146

Therefore, the amount given to charity from Kendall’s profit is $168.0146
