The sum of adjacent sides is half the perimeter, so is 25 cm. Since the side lengths are consecutive numbers, they are both nearly half of 25 cm. One side is 12 cm, the other is 13 cm.

These lengths, then, are one leg and the hypotenuse of the right triangle that makes up half the parallelogram. The other leg, the altitude, is found using the Pythagorean theorem (or your knowledge of Pythagorean triples). It is

... altitude = √((13 cm)² -(12 cm)²) = √(25 cm²) = 5 cm

The length of the altitude is 5 cm.

If y is directly proportional to x and y = 17.5 when x=21 find y when x=39
morpeh [17]

direct proportion y=kx , k is constant and k does not equal to 0.

17.5=k(21)

k=5/6

when x =39

y=5/6 ×39

y=32.5

Which of these is the algebraic expression for "some number to the power of six?" A.6x B.X+6 C.X^6 D.6^X
Alina [70]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B can be removed because they don't have the "^" known as a carrot which symbolizes a number raised to a certain power.

D is wrong because it says 6 is raised to the x power.

C is correct because a value will be raised to the sixth power.

A rectangle flower bed is 9 feet wide and 12 feet long .what is the length of the diagonal?​
BigorU [14]

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question talks about;

  • A rectangular flower bed whose dimensions are 12 ft by 9 ft

We are required to determine the length of the diagonal

To answer the question, we need to know the following;

  • All the angles in a rectangle are right angles
  • A diagonal divides a rectangle into two right-angled triangles
  • The dimensions of the rectangle acts as the legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore;

Using Pythagoras theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Where, c is the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal)

a and b are the shorter sides of the right-angled triangle

Therefore;

c² = 12² + 9²

c² = 144 + 81

   = 225

c = √225

  = 15

Therefore, the length of the diagonal is 15 feet
