Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of an iscosceles right triangle.

For the triangle to be isosceles, it means that the opposite and the adjacent are equal in length.

Now, to calculate the value of the hypotenuse, we make use of the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Mathematically;

let’s say the hypotenuse is length h feet

h^2 = {15√(2)}^2 + {15√(2)}^2

h^2 = (225 * 2) + (225 * 2)

h^2 = 450 + 450

h^2 = 900

h = √(900)

h = 30 feet

Right now Seth's age is 4/5 the age of his brother Eric. Twenty-one years ago, Eric was twice as old as Seth. What are their age
lana [24]

Answer:

          Present Time                                                                

Let X= Eric's age                                                            (4/5)X= Seth's age

Question:  What are their ages now?________________________________________________________________________

                                             Past (21 years ago)

X-21 =Eric's age                                                                (4/5)X-21=Seth's age

2*[4/5(X-21]=Eric's age

Therefore, X-21= 2*[4/5(X)-21]=Eric's age           Substitution

_______________________________________________________________________

X-21= 8/5 X  - 42         Solve for "X" by adding 42 to both sides.

X-21+42=(8/5) X

X+21 = (8/5)X              Subtract "X" from both sides.

21=(3/5)X                    Multiply both sides of equation by reciprocal of (3/5), which is 5/3

21*(5/3)= X                  Finish the problem to find value of "X," which is Eric's age.  

                                   Then find  4/5 (X)= Seth's age

A plane is approaching an aircraft carrier at 25° angle of elevation from 3.2 miles away how far above sea level is the plane
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Height\approx 1.35\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation=25\textdegree

It is 3.2\ miles away from the point.

If we imagine a right  triangle having an angle 25\textdegree.

Hypotenuse=3.2, Opposite=Height from sea level(h)

\sin 25=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\\sin 25=\frac{h}{3.2}\\\\h=3.2\times \sin 25\\\\h=3.2\times 0.4226\\\\h=1.3524\approx 1.35\ miles
