If the legs are length a and b and hyptonuse is c then
a²+b²=c²

so
if the legs are 20 and 21 and the hypotnuse is x then
20²+21²=x²
400+441=x²
841=x²
29=x

Answer:  the correct option is (B) 29.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of the hypotenuse x, if (20, 21, x) is a Pythagorean triple.

We know that

in a right-angled triangle, the lengths of the sides (hypotenuse, perpendicular, base) is a Pythagorean triple, where

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+base^2.

So,  for the given Pythagorean triple, we have

x^2=20^2+21^2\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=400+441\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=841\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{841}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{taking square root on both sides}]\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm29.

Since the length of the hypotenuse cannot be negative, so x = 29.

Thus, the length of the hypotenuse, x = 29.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

State a cubic or quartic function with the least degree possible in intercept form for the given graph. Assume that all x-interc
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

y = -x^{3} - 2x^{2} + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be cubic.  The x-intercepts are -4, -1, and 2

The constant factor is -1 because the graph falls on the right.  So,

y = -(x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 2)

y = -x^{3} -2x^{2} + 5x +6

Answers:

  • a) x = 9
  • b) arc JK = 68
  • c) arc MJ = 112
  • d) arc LMK = 248

================================

Explanation:

Arcs JK and KL form a semicircle, so they add to 180 degrees

(arcJK) + (arcKL) = 180

(5x+23) + (17x-41) = 180

22x-18 = 180

22x = 180+18

22x = 198

x = 198/22

x = 9

Then you'll use this x value to find arc JK and arc KL

arc JK = 5x+23 = 5*9+23 = 68

arc KL = 17x - 41 = 17*9-41 = 112

Since central angles MNJ and KNL are vertical angles, this means minor arcs MJ and KL are congruent arcs. So arc MJ is also 112 degrees

Arc LMK is basically nearly everything of the full circle, but we exclude out the portion from L to K (the shorter distance)

arc LMK = (full circle) - (measure of minor arc LK)

arc LMK = 360 - 112

arc LMK = 248

What is the acceleration of a 10kg mass pushed by a 10n force
Grace [21]
This is Newtons second law of motion

Force = mass * acceleration 
so here we have:-

10 = 10 * a

a = 1  

its acceleration is 1 meter / sec^2.
