Answer:

Here is the complete question.(attachment)

The correct choice is a^2+15^2=17^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We will apply the Pythagoras formula to calculate the perpendicular length (a).

Pythagoras formula =(base)^2+(perpendicular)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2

The right angle is formed between a and 15\ m length.

So 17\ m is the hypotenuse opposite to right angle is the longest side and called the hypotenuse.

So

(a)^2+(15)^2=17^2

a=\sqrt{17^2-15^2}= 8\ m

So the measure of side length a is 8\ m.

That can be calculated from the option A that is (a)^2+(15)^2=17^2.

Note:Please don't look to the marked answers that was wrong in the attachment.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

let a = x² (a ≥ 0), we have the equation:

a² + a + 1 = 0

⇔ a² + 2.1/2.a + 1/4 + 3/4 = 0

⇔ (a + 1/2)² = -3/4 (unreasonable)

=> no solutions

Which compound most likely contains polar covalent bonds?<br> NaCl<br> AlF3<br> Br2<br> NF3
belka [17]

Answer: The correct answer is NF_3

Explanation:

In NF_3 molecule, there are three bond pairs and one lone pair present in the molecule. In a molecule, lone pair present on the nitrogen atom will have a dipole moment in upward direction where as total dipole moment formed by three fluorine atoms will be more in magnitude and it will be directed in downward direction which means that the net dipole moment will be in downward direction. As shown in image attached.

Hence, covalent bond present between nitrogen and fluorine will become polar in nature.

So, the correct answer is NF_3.
