The length of the hypotenuse of a 30-60 -90 triangle is 14 units. what is the length of the short leg

1 answer:

6 0

Recall that the short leg is the side opposite the 30 degrees angle. And the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2.

Let the length of the short leg be x, then,

$\cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{1}{2}\\ \\\Rightarrow2x=14\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{14}{2}=7$

Answer:

The solutions are -3 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ y = -x² - 2x + 8

∵ y = 2x + 11

∴ -x² - 2x + 8 = 2x + 11

∴ -x² - 2x - 2x + 8 - 11 = 0

∴ -x² - 4x - 3 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by -1

∴ x² + 4x + 3 = 0

∴ (x + 3)(x + 1) = 0

∴ x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3

∴ x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1

∴ The solutions are -3 and -1

Diffrence of partial products and regrouping

Alex

Partial products is breaking down every number in multiplication and adding them. Regrouping is grouping number them adding them. They are different because one is taking all the numbers broken down, while the other is just a couple of the number.

Answer:

A) SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

$\frac{AC}{DF}=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}\\\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{12}{18}=\frac{2}{3}\\\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}\\\text{Thus,}\\\frac{AC}{DF}=\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}\\$
