Sets of three integers that could be right triangles are called pythagorean triples. the only pythagorean triple including 7 is 7, 24, and 25. so the length of the other leg is 24 and the length of the hypotenuse is 25. hope this helped!

Answer:

The length of other leg is 24 units and length of hypotenuse is 25 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: In a right angled triangle

Length of one leg = 7 units

In a right angled triangle,

hypotenuse^2=perpendicular^2+base^2

If a, b, and c are positive integers, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2

then (a,b,c) is known as Pythagorean triple.

The lengths of other two sides are whole numbers. It means the set of sides is a Pythagorean triple.

Pythagorean triple = (3,4,5), (5,12,13), (8,15,17), (7,24,25), (20,21,29)...

Only one Pythagorean triple has 7, i.e, (7,24,25).

Therefore the length of other leg is 24 units and length of hypotenuse is 25 unit.

Answer:

sin(x) = 5/13

cos(y) = 5/12

Therefore, sin(x) = cos(y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Trig ratios:

sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}\\\\\\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{A}{H}\\\\\\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}

where \theta is the angle, O is the measure of the side opposite the angle, A is the measure of the side adjacent to the angle and H is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle

We have been given the measures of the two legs, so we can find the measure of the hypotenuse by using Pythagoras' Theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

(where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle)

\implies 5^2+12^2=c"\\\\\implies 169=c^2\\\\\implies c=\sqrt{169}\\\\ \implies c=13

Now we can use the trig ratios:

\implies sin(x)=\dfrac{5}{13}

\implies cos(y)=\dfrac{5}{13}

Therefore, sin(x) = cos(y)

Which of the following is the graph of the absolute-value parent function?
Ne4ueva [31]
Should have the ordered pairs of
(-4,4) (-3,3) (-2,2) (-1,1) (0,0) (1,1) (2,2) (3,3).

Will look like a V when graphed. Reason being is if you take the absolute value of anything you are basically just dropping the negative sign as it is how far away it is from 0.

X and y<br> are supplementary angles. y<br> measures 156<br> What is the measure of a?
Troyanec [42]

Supplementary angles need to add up to 180 degrees.

Subtract Y from 180:

X = 180 - 156 = 24

X = 24 degrees

A bag contains 42 red, 45
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

First of,

or, in probability is subtraction and not means you shouldn't use green (therefore leaving you with yellow and red)

Red = 42

Yellow = 20

P(Yellow or Not Green) = \frac{R+Y}{2}

⁘ \frac{42+20}{2} = \frac{62}{2}

Hence, 31
