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

Mathematics

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

Answer:

(8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=8

5*8-2y=30

40-2y=30 .      subtract 40 from both sides

-2y=-10 .           divide both sides by-2

y=5

The line through (-1/2, -7/2) and (2, 14) in slope intercept form??
icang [17]
To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form given two points, we must arrange the points this way to find the slope (m):

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

We can replace the variables in this equation with the values from the points we have been given, (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14). We know that the x-values always come first in an ordered pair, so we can put those in our equation first.
It doesn't really matter which x-value goes in which x-value slot in the equation as long as you match up the y-values in the same fashion. But for the sake of convenience, we will call the 2 in the second ordered pair x_{2} and the \frac{-1}{2} in the first ordered pair x_{1}.
Now, we can match these values in our equation, and while we're at it, we can substitute the appropriate y-values into their places as well.

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m =  \frac{14 -  \frac{-7}{2} }{2 -  \frac{-1}{2} }

Now, we can see that we are subtracting negatives in this equation. Remember that whenever you subtract a negative, it is the same as adding a positive. So, this equation could be rewritten as

m =  \frac{14 +  \frac{7}{2} }{2 +  \frac{1}{2} }

and we can change the improper fraction in the numerator into a mixed number for ease of addition.

m =  \frac{14 + 3 \frac{1}{2} }{2+ \frac{1}{2} }

And here, we can add, since it's made simple for us.

m =  \frac{17  \frac{1}{2} }{2  \frac{1}{2} }

Finally, to get the slope we can complete the fraction by dividing.

17.5 ÷ 2.5 = 7

The slope of this equation, m, is 7, and so far, our equation looks like this:

y = 7m + b

Now, to find y-intercept.

To do this, we simply have to substitute one of the ordered pairs in for the appropriate x- and y-values and solve. To make it easier on ourselves, we can use (2, 14) so we don't have to deal with negative numbers or fractions.

y = 7x + b

Let us substitute in our values.

14=7(2)+b

Now, we can solve by multiplying the 7 and 2.

14=14+b

Here, we can subtract 14 from both sides, since it is added to both in the equation, and we are left with

0 = b

which can be flipped around to show

b=0

The y-intercept of this line is 0.

Now, we can make this known in our equation like this:

y=7x+0

Or, for neatness' sake, we can just say

y=7x

which is your final equation.

The line through (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form is <span>y=7x.
Hope that helped! =) </span>
