You can find the missing side of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²), where c is the hypotenuse. So, just plug the given numbers in and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²   Plug 6 and 8 in for a and b (order doesn't matter)
6² + 8² = c²   Square both numbers
36 + 64 = c²   Add
100 = c²   Take the square root of both sides
10 = c   Switch the sides of the equation to make it easier to read
c = 10

So, the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 cm.

You require the Pythagorean Theorem: in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.In this case 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10^2
 the hypotenuse is 10.

Can anyone answer this I need it ASAP plz
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: x = 13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 90 degrees and 33 degrees to get angle X, which is 57 degrees.

2. Using Laws of Sine, plug in the known elements of the triangle:

(16) / (sin(90)) = (x) / (sin(57))

3. Cross multiply, this will leave 16sin(57) = xsin(90)

4. Divide sin(90) to the other side, leaving x = (16sin(57)) / (sin(90))

5. Plug this into a calculator and your final answer should be 13.4

Please explain how you got your answer!!! The dot plots below show the ages of students belonging to two groups of salsa classes
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Group b most likely has a lower mean age of salsa students

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Mean of the data is the average of a set of numerical values, calculated by adding them together and dividing by the number of terms in the set.

Here we are given with two groups that are Group A and Group B

both having total number of students = 20

Here the mean age of the data is addition of the all ages of different students divided by total number of students.

For group a

total age of the group = 3 × 5 + 4 × 10 + 6 × 17 + 4 × 24 + 3 × 29

= 15 + 40 + 102 + 96 + 87

=340

The mean age of salsa students= 340 ÷ 20 = 17

For group b

total age of the group = 6 × 7 + 3 × 10 + 4 × 14 + 5 × 16 + 2 × 21

= 42 + 30 + 56 + 80 + 42

=250

The mean age of salsa students= 250 ÷ 20 = 12.5

So the group b most likely has a lower mean age of salsa students
