If a right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 17 and a leg equal to 15, find the third side.

Use the pythagorean theorem a.k.a{a}^{2} +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}
c is the hypotenuse while a & b are the legs
{15}^{2}   +  {b}^{2} =  {17}^{2}
225 + {b}^{2} = 289
subtract 225 from 289
{b}^{2}  = 64
square root both b and 64
the other leg is equal to 8

Don't understand question and don't know formula
zzz [600]
The formula is (number of sides-2)*180 over number of sides

Each angle for hexagon is 120degree because
(6-2)*180 over 6 equals to 120
So p is 120
For q:
2q=180-120
2q=60
q=60 over 2
q=30
P+Q=120+30
=150

I need some geometry help please
nadezda [96]
Y=mx+b is the equation we must fill out, with x and y being their respective coordinates, m being the slope, and b being the y-intercept. The y intercept will be at (0, y), and the beginning of this problem already gives us the y-intercept: -4.

We now know y=mx-4. To find the slope, m, we’ll plug in one of the coordinates: (5, 1). The new equation is 1=m(5)-4. Solve this to get 5=m(5), and then m=1.

Now that we know the slope and y-intercept, we can conclude that the equation is y=x-4.

Write the equation for the line that passes through the points (4, 5) and<br> (6,9). *
N76 [4]

Answer:

y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find slops

(9-5)/(6-4) = 4/2 = 2 = m

y = mx + b

5 = 2(2) + b

1 = b

y = 2x + 1

the bases of a frustum of a cone have radii 1 1/3 and 2. The height of the frustum is 2. What were the dimension of the original
Sedbober [7]

One of the major advantage of the two-condition experiment has to do with interpreting the results of the study. Correct scientific methodology does not often allow an investigator to use previously acquired population data when conducting an experiment. For example, in the illustrative problem involving early speaking in children, we used a population mean value of 13.0 months. How do we really know the mean is 13.0 months? Suppose the figures were collected 3 to 5 years before performing the experiment. How do we know that infants haven’t changed over those years? And what about the conditions under which the population data were collected? Were they the same as in the experiment? Isn’t it possible that the people collecting the population data were not as motivated as the experimenter and, hence, were not as careful in collecting the data? Just how were the data collected? By being on hand at the moment that the child spoke the first word? Quite unlikely. The data probably were collected by asking parents when their children first spoke. How accurate, then, is the population mean?
