What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below

Mathematics

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
In this case, the legs are 3√2 and the hypotenuse is h.
Using the formula:
(3√2)² + (3√2)² = h²
18 + 18 = h²
h = 6

The other way to do this is with trigonometric angles.
Remember cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.
cos(45°) = (3√2) / h
h = (3√2) / cos(45°)
h = 6

The value hypotenuse of given triangle is \fbox{\bf 6 units}.

Further explanation:

Method 1:

Pythagoras theorem:

For a \triangle ABC, right angle at B following relation holds:

{\left({AC}\right)^2}={\left( {AB}\right)^2}+{\left( {BC}\right)^2}     ……(1)

Consider the given triangle as \triangle ABC shown below in Figure 1.

Substitute 3\sqrt 2  for AB, 3\sqrt 2 for BC and h for AC in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{h^2}&={\left( {3\sqrt2}\right)^2}+{\left({3\sqrt2}\right)^2}\\{h^2}&=18+18\\{h^2}&=36\\h&=6\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the value hypotenuse of given triangle is \fbox{\bf 6 units}.

Method 2:

Consider the given triangle as \triangle ABC as shown below in Figure 1.

In right \triangle ABC, BC is base, AB is perpendicular and AC is hypotenuse.

sin is defined as the ratio of perpendicular to hypotenuse, cos is defined as the ratio of base to hypotenuse and tan is defined as the ratio of perpendicular to base. There exists three more ratios which are reciprocal of sin,cos and tan.

For \angle C, these ratios can be listed as shown below.

\begin{aligned}{\text{sinC=}}\frac{{AB}}{{AC}},\,{\text{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,cosecC=}}\frac{{AC}}{{AB}}\hfill\\{\text{cosC=}}\frac{{BC}}{{AC}},{\text{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,secC=}}\frac{{AC}}{{BC}}\hfill\\\tan C {\text{}}\frac{{AB}}{{BC}},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\cot\,C{\text{=}}\frac{{BC}}{{AB}} \hfill\\\end{aligned}

Substitute 3\sqrt 2  for AB, h for AC and 45 for \angle C.

\begin{aligned}{\text{sin45=}}&\frac{{3\sqrt2}}{h}\hfill\\\frac{1}{{\sqrt2}}&=\frac{{3\sqrt 2 }}{h}\hfill\\h&=\left({3\sqrt2}\right)\left({\sqrt2}\right)\hfill\\h&=6\hfill\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the value hypotenuse of given triangle is \fbox{\bf 6 units}.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -2) and is parallel
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

y= -5/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines have the same slope

5x + 3y = 6

3y = -5x + 6

y = -5/3x + 2

the new line will have the slope (-5/3x)

y = (-5/3x) + b

plug in the (x, y) value to find b

-2 = -5/3(6) + b

-2 = -10 + b

b = 8

your equation is: y= -5/3x + 8

AABC has vertices A(-3,-4), B(1,5), and C(4.1). AABC is translated so that B'is located at point (-3, 2). State the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Step 1: Identify the coordinates of each of the vertices of the triangle.

Step 2: Translate each point by adding the horizontal translation value to the x-coordinate of each vertex and the vertical translation value to the y-coordinate of each point. For these translations, add a negative number if the horizontal translation is to the left or if the vertical translation is downward.

Step 3: Plot the three translated points and draw the triangle by connecting each pair of points with a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle: A triangle is a three-sided geometric figure made by connecting each pair of points in a set of three with straight lines. The points that define a triangle are known as vertices

Enter the fraction 33100 as a decimal
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have the number 1 and divide it by 100, you get 1/100, 0.01, or 1% of 1. If you multiply 1/100 by 33, you get 33/100, 0.33, or 33% of 1.
