The option B \boxed{{\mathbf{10 units}}} is correct.

Further explanation:

The PythagoreanTheorem is used in the right angle triangle and it states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the perpendicular and base.

It can be mathematically expressed as,

{h^2} = {p^2} + {b^2}  

Here, h is the hypotenuse, p is the perpendicular and b is the base.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

It is observed from given figure that after joining the points A,B{\text{ and C}} it is established as right angle triangle.

First determine the perpendicular and the base of the triangle.

It can be seen that there are 8 boxes between the point A{\text{ and }}C and 6 boxes between the point A{\text{ and B}}.

Therefore, the base of the triangle AC is {\text{8 units}} and the perpendicular of the triangle AB is {\text{8 units}}.

Step 2:

Now use the Pythagoras theorem to find the distance between B{\text{ and }}C.

The distance between B{\text{ and }}C is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle ABC.

The length of the hypotenuse BC can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}{h^2}&= {p^2} + {b^2}\\{h^2}&= {6^2} + {8^2}\\{h^2} &= 100\\h&= 10\\\end{aligned}  

Therefore, the distance between B{\text{ and }}C is 10 units.  

Thus, option B 10 units is correct.

A triangle is shown.
aleksklad [387]

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the unknown side length of the triangle is of 7.9 cm.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs l_1 and l_2 of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2

Researching this problem on the internet, we have that:

  • The unknown side length is of a leg of x.
  • The other leg is of 9 cm.
  • The hypotenuse is of 12 cm.

Hence:

x² + 9² = 12²

x = sqrt(12² - 9²)

x = 7.9 cm.

The unknown side length of the triangle is of 7.9 cm.

Can someone please tell me how to expand and simplify 4(x+1)^2?
siniylev [52]

Expand the binomial first, then distribute the 4:

4 (<em>x</em> + 1)² = 4 (<em>x</em> ² + 2<em>x</em> + 1)

… = 4•<em>x</em> ² + 4•2<em>x</em> + 4•1

… = 4<em>x</em> ² + 8<em>x</em> + 4

PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER THIS FOR ME I REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT
dexar [7]

Answer:

See answers below for explanations (answers are in bold)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem 1 (Top left):</u>

Assuming that the shape is an ellipse, we will use the formula A=πab where a and b are both half the major and minor axis respectively. Since a=9 and b=6, then we have A = π(9)(6) = 54π = 169.646 units^2 as our final answer

<u>Problem 2 (Top right):</u>

Again, we use the same equation as in Problem 1 but this time, a=12 and b=8, so we then have A = π(8)(12) = 96π = 301.593 units^2 as our final answer

<u>Problem 3 (Bottom left):</u>

We can make this irregular shape into a half-ellipse and a rectangle. We would find their separate areas and add them up. The area of the half-ellipse would be A=1/2πab. The value of "a" would be 13.8/2=6.9 since that's the length of the rectangle. The value of "b" would be 3.5, so that means the area of the half-ellipse would be A = 1/2(π)(6.9)(3.5) = 12.075π = 37.935 units^2.  The width and length of the rectangle are 5.4 and 13.8 respectively, so this means the area of the rectangle is 5.4*13.8 = 74.52 units^2. Combining both areas, we get 37.935+74.52 = 112.455 units^2 as our final answer

<u>Problem 4 (Bottom right):</u>

This irregular shape is an ellipse, but a circle is missing from its center. Thus, we must find the area of the circle and ellipse and then subtract the circle's area from the ellipse's area. For the area of the ellipse, a=(15.5/2)=7.75, and b=(7/2)=3.5, making its area A = π(7.75)(3.5) = 27.125π = 85.216 units^2. The area of a circle is A=πr² where "r" is the radius. The radius would be 7/2=3.5, making the circle's area A = π(3.5²) = 12.25π = 38.485 units^2. This means that the shaded area is 85.216-38.435 = 46.781 units^2
