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

Hi.

The first question is a direct variation — specifically y = 1.8x

In the second one (if my calculations are correct), it's not a direction variation.

Hope this helps :)

Calculations:

y = 1.8(3) = 5.4

y does not equal x, 2x, or -2x.

Algebraically, determine the exact value of x for the<br> equation 85(2)0.4x = 6000.
Oliga [24]

Answer: 14,575

Step-by-step explanation:

85(2) 0.4x = 6000      Multiply 85 times 2

170 + 0.4x = 6000      Subtract 170 from both sides

         0.4x = 5830       Divide 5830 by 0.4

             x = 14,575

According to this property, x + 0 = x.
Mumz [18]
The identity property of addition states that the sum of any number and 0 is the original number.

so...x + 0 = x would be the identity property of addition (also called the additive identity)
