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

What is 2x+3y•4 plz help me
Ray Of Light [21]

Use the distributive property to combine like terms. Since we only have one X value and one y value we need to use the 4. 2x times 4 is 4x. 3y times 4 is 6y. Now the equation can be simplified to 4x plus 6y. We have no more like terms so the equation cannot be simplified any further without more context.

What is the equation of a line passing through (-6, 5) and having a slope of 1/3 ? A. B. C. D. y = 3x + 7
stepan [7]

Answer:

y = 1/3 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given; the line is passing through, (-6,5) and the slope is 1/3

We can get its equation;

We would take, a point (x,y) and the given point (-6,5)

Therefore; Since slope = Δy/Δx

Then;

(5-y)/ (-6-x) = 1/3

3(5-y) = -6 -x

15 - 3y = -6 - x

we get;

3y = 6 + x + 15

3y = x + 21

Therefore;

<u>y = 1/3 x + 7</u>

Which function has the same minimum value as ? f(x) = 3x 3 f(x) = |x| 3 f(x) = –x2 3
Likurg_2 [28]

The function that has the same minimum value as fx= 3x³ is f(x) = x + 3.

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

It should be noted that a function simply means a relation or expression that involves two or more variables.

In this case, the function that has the same minimum value as the expression of 3x³ is f = x + 3.
