Answer:  The length of the third straw is 29 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Anja is creating a triangle using three straws and the lengths of two shorter straws are 20 cm and 21 cm.

We are to find the length of the third straw in centimeters so that Anja will create a right triangle.

The two shorter straws will make the legs of the right-angled triangle because they are shorter.

Since the third straw will be the largest, so it will make the HYPOTENUSE of the triangle.

In a right-angled triangle, we have

Hypotenuse² = length of one leg² + length of the other leg².

Therefore, we get

Hypotenuse^2=20^2+21^2=400+441=841\\\\\Rightarrow Hypotenuse=29.

Thus, the length of the third straw is 29 centimeters.

It is given in the question that ,

Anja is creating a triangle using three straws. The two shorter straws have lengths of 20 cm and 21 cm. How long, in centimeters.

Let the third side, which is the hypotenuse is c .

Now we use the pythagorean identity, which is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs .

Substituting the given values of the two legs, we will get

20^2 + 21^2 = c^2
\\
400 +441= c^2
\\
c^2 = 841
\\
c = \sqrt{841}
\\
c =29cm

So the length of third side have to be 29 cm .

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line x= 19 and contains the<br> point (-4,7)
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 19 is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis

A line parallel to it has the equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through

The line passes through (- 4, 7 ) with x- coordinate - 4 , then

x = - 4 ← equation of parallel line

If you are 600 m from a batter when you see him hit a ball, how long will you wait to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball
Molodets [167]

Answer:

<em>The speed of sound at 20°C is 343.42 m/s.</em>

<em>You have to wait 1.75 seconds to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed of Sound</u>

The speed of sound is not constant with temperature. Generally speaking, the greater the temperature, the greater the speed of sound.

The approximate speed of sound in dry air at temperatures T near 0°C is calculated from:

\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {s} }=(331.3+0.606\cdot T )~~~\mathrm {m/s}

The air is at T=20°C, thus the speed of sound is:

\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {s} }=(331.3+0.606\cdot 20 )~~~\mathrm {m/s}

v_{\mathrm {s} }=343.42\ m/s

The speed of sound at 20°C is 343.42 m/s.

To calculate the time to hear the sound after the batter hits the ball, we use the formula of constant speed motion:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where d is the distance and t is the time. Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Substituting the values v=343.42 m/s and d=600 m:

\displaystyle t=\frac{600}{343.42}

t = 1.75 s

You have to wait 1.75 seconds to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball
