Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2 -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question:
Z varies jointly with x and y , x=2 and y=2, z=7. Find z when x=4 and y=8 using joint variation . (I need the problem worked out step by step)
If z varies jointly with x, and y, this is expressed as;
z = kxy
If z=7 when x= 2, y= 2
7 = k(2)(2)
7 = 4k
k = 7/4
To get z when x= 4 and y = 8
z = kxy
z =7/4 (4)(8)
z = 7*8
z = 56
Hence the value of z is 56
