Answer: 5.9 cm for both triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2  

c^2 = 9+25

c^2 = 34

c = √34

c = 5.9 cm

Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

D = {x:x is a factor of 12<br>​
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

<h2><<The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12, because each of those divides 12 without leaving a remainder (or, alternatively, each of those is a counting number that can be multiplied by another counting number to make 12).</h2>

A sales person is paid a weekly salary of $760, plus a commission of 7.5% of all her sales for the week. Express her weekly inco
Elis [28]

Answer:

1. We can see that salesperson's weekly income is the sum of her constant weekly salary ($760) and a commission which is variable and depends on her weekly sales.

So, if we say that y is her weekly income and x is her weekly sales, we can write this as:

y = 760 + 0.075x

Note that we had to change percentage to decimal number dividing it by 100.

2  Since for each value of x there is only one corresponding value of y, we can say that this is a function. For any value of x we input there is only one solution we get - that is the main feature of function and a way to tell if something is really a function.

Since this is a function, it can also be written as:

f(x) = 760 + 0.075x

3. Domain of a function is, basically, set of all values of x for which the function can work. That practically means that, since x is weekly sale, it can not be negative (one cannot make -$500 sale, for example). However, it is possible that she doesn't make a sale one week, making it possible for x to be 0. Also, the value of her sales doesn't have to be integer (it is quite possible that she makes $673.50 sale).

All this means that appropriate domain for this function are positive real numbers including 0.
