Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the sides 8cm and 6cm

To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)

c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

In this case...

a = 8 cm

b = 6 cm

c = x

^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

8^{2} +6^{2} =x^{2}

simplify

64 + 36 = x^{2}

100 = x^{2}

To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...

√100 = x  

Which is when simplified:

(choice C)

10 cm  

Hope this helped!

Answer: C. 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the hypotenuse of a right triangle will always be longer than the other 2 sides.  So 10 cm

Y=x^2 is y a function of x​
Digiron [165]
Yes y=x^2 is a function because Using the definition of a function, y=x^2 is a function because for every x-value in your domain, you will only get 1 unique y-value. A quick check you can do is to use the vertical line test

(0, -2) Correct or not?
8090 [49]
Make f(x) = y
f(x)= -1/8 (4) ^x+3 +6
y = -1/8 (4) ^x+3 +6
y-intercept is when the function crosses the y-axis, and the y-axis is always where x = 0
y = -1/8 (4) ^x+3 +6
y = -1/8 ( {4}^{0})+9 \\  {(anything)}^{0}  = 1 \\ y = -1/8 (1)+9 = 9 - (1 \div 8)  \\ = 8 \: (7 \div 8)
or was the equation instead:
y = -1/8 ( {4}^{(x + 3)})+6
???????
Because in that case it's totally different, so here goes...
y = -1/8 ( {4}^{(x + 3)})+6 \\ y = -1/8 ( {4}^{(0 + 3)})+6 \\ y = -1/8 ( {4}^{3})+6 \\ y = -1/8 (64)+6
y = -1/1 (8)+6 =  - 8 + 6 =  - 2
Therefore, yes it is correct that the y-intercept lies at the point (0, -2)

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 3(15x−17) ?3/5x−3/7−3/5x−3/73/5x+3/7−3/5x+3/7
baherus [9]
If the problem is 3(15x - 17), none of those expressions are correct. You would multiple the 3 to each term (hence the "distributive" part) to get 45x - 51.

I need the answers pls!!!
max2010maxim [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles are two angles that have a common vertex and common side but do not overlap. They share the same vertex and same common side.

Vertical angles are opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

Hope this helps!

Solve the system.
patriot [66]

Answer:

D.(2,-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-a+4b+2c=-8

3a+b-4c=9

b = -1

Substitute b=-1 into the other equations

-a -4 +2c = -8

3a -1 -4c =9

Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate c

-2a -8 +4c = -16

Add this to the second equation

-2a -8 +4c = -16

3a -1 -4c =9

-----------------

a -9 = -7

Add 9 to each side

a-9+9 = -7+9

a =2

b=-1

Now we need to find c

-a +4b +2c = -8

-2 -4 +2c = -8

-6+2c = -8

Add 6 to each side

-6+6 +2c = -8+6

2c = -2

Divide by 2

2c/2 = -2/2

c=-1

(2,-1,-1)
