To find missing side lengths in right triangles we use Pythagoras' Theorem which is
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2
where a and b are the lengths of the short sides of the triangle and c is the length of the longest side of the triangle, (this is called the hypotenuse)
So a=8 and b=15. Putting those numbers into the equation gives
8%5E2%2B15%5E2=c%5E2


working out the numbers gives
64%2B225=c%5E2 i.e. c%5E2=289
because we need to find what c is, we need to take the square root of 289
c=sqrt%28289%29
Therefore c = 17.
the pipe needs to be 17 ft long.

The school cafeteria sells two kinds of wraps: vegetarian and chicken. The vegetarian wrap cost $1 and the chicken wrap cost$1.8
vfiekz [6]
Let us assume the number of vegetarian wraps made = x
Let us assume the number of chicken wraps made = y
Then
x + y = 70
x = 70 - y
And
x + 1.80y = 98.80
Putting the value of x from the first equation in the second equation, we get
x + 1.80y = 98.80
70 - y + 1.80y = 98.80
0.80y = 28.80
y = 36
Putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 70
x + 36 = 70
x = 34
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the number of vegetarian warps sold was 34. I hope the answer has come to your desired help.

Answer:

The degree is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x³ and -2x³ cancel each other out, so the expression would be 4x²+x-32.

The largest exponent value is 2, as shown in "4x²"

Write an expression in factored form for the polynomial of least possible degree graphed below.
dexar [7]

Answer:

- 1/64 (x+4)² (x-3) (x-4) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a (x+4)²(x-3)(x-4)   ... curve touch (-4,0) and not cross x axis

x=0   f(x) = -3

a (4)² * (-3) * (-4) = -3

a = - 1/64

- 1/64 (x+4)² (x-3) (x-4) = 0
