Answer:

8, 15 and 17 feet respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter leg=l feet

The longer leg of a right triangle is 7 ft longer than the shorter leg, therefore Length of the longer leg=(l+7) feet

The hypotenuse is 9ft longer than the shorter leg. Therefore Length of the hypotenuse=(l+9) feet

Using Pythagoras Theorem

Hyp^2=Opp^2+Adj^2\\(l+9)^2=l^2+(l+7)^2\\(l+9)(l+9)=l^2+(l+7)(l+7)\\l^2+9l+9l+81=l^2+l^2+7l+7l+49\\l^2+18l+81=2l^2+14l+49

This results into:

2l^2-l^2+14l-18l-81+49=0

l^2-4l-32=0\\l^2-8l+4l-32=0\\l(l-8)+4(l-8)=0\\(l-8)(l+4)=0

l-8=0 or l+4=0

l=8 or -4

Since length cannot be negative, The length l=8 feet

The sides of the rectangle are therefore: 8, 15 and 17 feet respectively

If a 12 sided regular polygon rotates about its center at which angle of rotation will the image of the polygon coinside with th
Amanda [17]

Answer: 30 degrees

This is the minimum amount of rotation.

Why this value? Well because 360/12 = 30

Consider a triangle with 3 sides. Specifically I mean an equilateral triangle. We can rotate it 120 degrees to have it line up with itself. Now notice that 360/3 = 120.

For a square, we can rotate it 90 degrees and we can say 360/4 = 90

So the general rule is that the minimum angle of rotation is 360/n, where n is the number of sides. This rule only works for regular polygons. Regular polygons have the same side length and the same angle measure (the side and angle measure won't necessarily be equal).

So going back to this 12 sided dodecagon, we have n = 12 and 360/n = 360/12 = 30 as the minimum angle of rotation. Each 30 degree rotation will have the polygon match up perfectly with its old image. The preimage and image will be identical.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

y + x > -2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is negative and is -1

y-intercept is -2

equation of dashed line is y = -x - 2

shading is above the line, and line is dashed, so inequality is

y > -x - 2

Add x to both sides.

y + x > -2
