What the maning of that ?
Answer:
45 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the longer leg. Then the hypotenuse is x+8 and the shorter leg is x-17. The Pythagorean theorem gives the relation between these values as ...
(x +8)^2 = x^2 +(x -17)^2
x^2 +16x +64 = 2x^2 -34x +289 . . . . eliminate parentheses
0 = x^2 -50x +225 . . . . . put in standard form
0 = (x -45)(x -5) . . . . . . . . factor
Solutions to this equation are x=5 and x=45. The value of x must be greater than 17, so the useful solution is x=45.
The length of the longer leg of the triangle is 45 cm.
-0.3125 is the answer, but you probably have to round
Answer: (4,8) which is choice A
f = 2/3 is the scale factor
x = 6 and y = 12 pair up to get the coordinates for point K's location
multiply f by x and y to get the new location
f*x = (2/3)*6 = (2/3)*(6/1) = (2*6)/(3*1) = 12/3 = 4
f*y = (2/3)*12 = (2/3)*(12/1) = (2*12)/(3*1) = 24/3 = 8
The results we get are 4 and 8. So (6,12) moves to (4,8)
This scale factor 2/3 = 0.667 is less than 1, so the image is smaller compared to the pre-image.
