Answer:

<h2>It is the longest side of a right triangle.</h2><h2>It is opposite the right angle.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, remember that the hypothenuse of a right triangle is the largest side of all three. Also, the hypothenuse is always in front of the right angle. Those two characteristics are used to determined which side is the hypothenuse in a right triangle.

So, basically, the first choice is correct: It is the longest side of a right triangle.

The third choice is also correct: It is opposite the right angle.

Additionally, the legs are the ones which form the right triangle and the length of the hypothenuse is not the sum of the lengths of the other two sides, because that actually violates the triangular inequality which defined all existing triangles.

Therefore, the right answers are first and third choices.

madreJ [45]

The correct answer is: " $\frac{33,611}{1,000}$ " .

____________________

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Based on the assumption that the "1" repeats infinitely; in the given value:

" 33.61111111 ...." ;

_______

Note that the "611" ; after the decimal point; this goes to the "thousandths";

place (is "3 (three) digits long.").

_______

As such; we rewrite the number as:

_______

" $\frac{33.611}{1}$ " ;

and we multiply BOTH the "numerator" And the "denominator" by: "1000" :

_______

→ " $\frac{(33.611)*(1000)}{(1)*(1000)}$ " ;

to get:

→ " $\frac{33611}{1000}$ " ; → which cannot be reduced any further.

_______

The correct answer is: " $\frac{33,611}{1,000}$ " .

What is the inverse function for h(x) = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%2B7%7D%20-1" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt

Blizzard [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \sqrt{x + 7} - 1$

Replace x and y.

$x = \sqrt{y + 7} - 1$

Solve for y.

$x + 1 = \sqrt{y + 7}$

Square both sides.

$(x + 1) {}^{2} = y + 7$

$(x + 1) {}^{2} - 7 = y$

This is the inverse function or you can also say

${x}^{2} + 2x - 6 = y$
