To find the length of the hypotenuse we must use Pythagoras' Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are side lengths

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 12^2 + 35^2
c^2 = 144 + 1225
c^2 = 1369
c = 37 cm

How do you add and subtract decimals as easily as you do whole numbers?

Gwar [14]

You can also multiply the decimals by a multiple of 10 to turn them I to whole numbers. Just make sure you multiply them both by the same multiple of 10 and divide them back before you write your answer!

What is the slope of the line below? If necessary, enter your answer as a

alisha [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula to find the slope/gradient

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

(-5, -1) = (x1, y1)

(5, 11) = (x2, y2)

So,

$= \frac{11 - ( - 1)}{5 - ( - 5)} \\ = \frac{12}{10 } \\ = \frac{6}{5}$

Solve for the x in the diagram below. 50°, 2x°, and 150°

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

50 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle where 2x + 50 is congruent to the 150 degree angle because they are vertical angles.

2x + 50 = 150

2x = 100

x = 50.

Hope this helps!

2. Given f(x) = 6(8 - x)+5

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a) Find the value of the function when x = -2

b) we get f(-2)=65

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function f(x)=6(8-x)+5

a) What does the notation f(-2) mean?

The notation f(-2) means that we have to put x = -2 in the given function of f(x) and find the value of the function when x = -2

b) What is the value of f(-2) ?

We need to find the value of f(-2)

$f(x)=6(8-x)+5$

Put x = -2

$f(-2)=6(8-(-2))+5\\f(-2)=6(8+2)+5\\f(-2)=6(10)+5\\f(-2)=60+5\\f(-2)=65$

So, we get f(-2)=65
