The legs of a right triangle are 10 centimeters and 24 centimeters long. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

1 answer:

8 0

A² + b² = c²

Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

So, plug in 10 for one of the legs and 24 for the other leg

c will be left blank because that is what you are trying to find, the hypotenuse

10² + 24² = c²

100 + 576 = c²

676 = c²

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to isolate c

√676 = √c²

Square of c and the square root cross out on the right

Take the square root of 676

c = 26

So, the length of the hypotenuse is 26 centimeters

There are 12 bags in a box of popcorn that cost $8.25. Find the unit rate for ONE bag of popcorn. Round to the hundredths place.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$0.69 for each bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have 12 bags for $8.25, that means you need to divide the price by the number of bags to get the price of each:

$\frac{8.25}{12} = 0.6875$

You then need to round to the nearest hundredths. Since the number after the hundredths place is a 7, which is greater than or equal to 5, you need to add 1 to the hundredths place making the final answer $0.69

The coordinates of E are (5.75, 0).

<h3>What is midpoint?</h3>

The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints, and it is the centroid both of the segment and of the endpoints.

Given that, C is the midpoint of AB, D is the midpoint of CB and E is the midpoint of DB.

Formula for coordinates of midpoint,

(x, y) = [(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2]

Coordinates of C;

(x, y) = (-10+8)/2, (14-2)/2

(x, y) = (-1, 6)

Coordinates of D;

(x, y) = (-1+8)/2, (6-2)/2

(x, y) = (3.5, 2)

Coordinates of E;

(x, y) = (3.5+8)/2, (2-2)/2

(x, y) = (5.75, 0)

Hence, The coordinates of E are (5.75, 0).
