Length of the unknown leg, b is 21 and a is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given in the first figure, the hypotenuse = 29 and one leg = 20. Find b using the Pythagoras theorem.

Hypotenuse² = Sum of squares of the other two sides

29² = 20² + b²

⇒ b² = 29² - 20² = 841 - 400 = 441

∴ b = 21

  • Step 2: In the second figure, Hypotenuse = 26 and one leg = 24.

Find a using the Pythagoras theorem.

Hypotenuse² = Sum of squares of the other two sides

26² = 24² + a²

⇒ a² = 26² - 24² = 676 - 576 = 100

∴ a = 10

The sum of two consecutive integers is 31. find the larger number
Verdich [7]

Consider the intergers as, x and x+1

x+(x+1)=31

2x+1=31

2x=30

x=15

So, (x+1)=(15+1)=16 would be larger number.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is -2x+20y=6​
QveST [7]

Answer:

  -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y gives ...

  20y = 2x +6

  y = 2/20x +6/20 = 1/10x +3/10

The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x: 1/10. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/(1/10) = -10.

The perpendicular line has a slope of -10.
