In the right triangle what is the value of pq

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
6 0

The exercise is solved by applying the Pythagorean Theorem, which is:


 h²= a² + b² 


 h: It is the hypotenuse of the right triangle (the opposite side of the right angle and the longest side of the triangle).

 a and b: They are the legs of the right triangle (the sides that form the right angle).


 You want to find the value of PQ, which is a leg. Then, you have:


 h²= a²+b²

 a²=h²-b²

 a=√(h²-b²)


 Let's substitute the values of the hypotenuse (h) and the other leg (b) of the triangle, into the formula a=√(h²-b²):


 a=√(h²-b²)

 a=√(17²-12²)

 a=12 cm


 What is the value of PQ?


 The answer is: 12 cm

jeka94

Answer:

<h2>C. g(x) = x - 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parent function y = f(x) and n > 0:

f(x) + n : move the graph n units up

f(x) - n : move the graph n units down

f(x + n) : move the graph n units to the left

f(x - n) : move the graph n units to the right

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

We have

f(x) = x

Transformation: 6 units down

f(x) - 6 = x - 6

photoshop1234 [79]

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. The ratio of the number of programs Abby handed out to the number programs Kim handed out is 5/6.

<h3>What is a Ratio?</h3>

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

At the school play Abby handed out 250 programs and Kim handed out 300. Therefore, the ratio of the number of programs Abby handed out to the number programs Kim handed out is,

Ratio = (Number of programs Abby handed out)/(Number of programs Kim handed out)

Ratio = 250 / 300 = 5/6

Hence, the ratio of the number of programs Abby handed out to the number programs Kim handed out is 5/6.

(10-P) Help please, thanks.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
The formula of linear equation is:
y1  -  y2 = m(x1  -  x2)
Where
x1 and x2: x coordinates(-1 and 3)
y1 and y2: y coordinates(-2 and 10)
m is the slope

We can then choose a point from the line to find the eqaution.

We need to first find the slope:
\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}
In this case:
\frac{ - 2 - 10}{ - 1 - 3}   \\ =  \frac{ - 12}{ - 4}  \\  = 3

In this case, as the y2 is given as 1,put (-1,-2) , and the slope(3 )into the eqaution :

y-(-2) = 3(x-(-1))
y+2 = 3(x+1)

Therefore
y + 2 = 3x + 1
is the answer.

Hope it helps!
