Answer:

a = 5.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where b= 1.5 and c= 6

a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2

a^2 +2.25 = 36

Subtract 2.25 from each side

a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25

a^2 = 33.75

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)

a = 5.809475019

We only take the positive root because length must be positive

If a right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 17 and a leg equal to 15, find the third side.
Yanka [14]
Use the pythagorean theorem a.k.a{a}^{2} +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}
c is the hypotenuse while a & b are the legs
{15}^{2}   +  {b}^{2} =  {17}^{2}
225 + {b}^{2} = 289
subtract 225 from 289
{b}^{2}  = 64
square root both b and 64
the other leg is equal to 8

The Jets play 16 football games this season. So far they have 3 wins and 4 losses. If they can win all the rest, how many wins a
brilliants [131]

Answer:

12 wins and 4 losses

Step-by-step explanation:

3 wins and 4 losses means they have played so far 7 games.

They play a total of 16 games in a season.

16 - 7 = 9

They still have to play 9 more games.

Add 9 wins to the 3 wins.

9 + 3 = 12

That means they'd finish the season with 12 wins and 4 losses.
