In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 30. Find the length of the longer leg.

1 answer:

6 0

In a 30-60-90 triangle the side opposite the 30 degree angle is half the length of the hypotenuse.
The shorter leg is the side opposite the 30 degree angle, therefore
the shorter leg = 30/2 = 15

By the Pythagorean theorem
the longer leg = √(30² - 15²) = √(900-225) = √675 = 15√3 ≈ 25.98 units

17) List the ways five dogs a Beagle, a Collie, a Greyhound, a Poodle and a

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

10 pairs

It is a combination

Explanation:

This is a combination because the order does not matter: the Beagle - Collie couple is the same as the Collie - Beagle couple, so it is only counted once.

The formula for combinations is:

$C(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{n!\cdot (m-n)!}$

For five diffferent dogs to be put in pairs, the number of different pairs is:

$C(5,2)=\dfrac{5!}{2!\cdot (5-2)!}=\dfrac{5\times 4}{2}=10$

Solve the following equation: (n + 1) + 3(n - 1) = 2(n - 1)(n + 1)

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = 0, n =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(n + 1) + 3(n - 1) = 2(n - 1)(n + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

n + 1 + 3n - 3 = 2(n² - 1), that is

4n - 2 = 2n² - 2 ( subtract 4n - 2 from both sides )

0 = 2n² - 4n ← factor out 2n from each term )

0 = 2n(n - 2)

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

2n = 0 ⇒ n = 0

n - 2 = 0 ⇒ n = 2
