Area of a triangle is one-half times base times height  so the answer is 24 and I got the base by using the pythagroem therom

Alright! 

The formula of area of a triangle is base x height /2 

so you're given the height and hypotenuse. 

Do the reverse of the pythagorean theorem to find the base 

a^2= c^2 -b^2 

c^2 is the hypotenuse and b^2 is the height 

a^2= 10^2 - 8^2 
a^2 = 100 - 84 
a^2 = 16 
a= (square root the 16) 
a= 4 cm 

now put these numbers into the formula for area of a triangle 
bxh / 2
(4x8)/ 2
= 16 cm squared !! 

hope that makes sense :)

Find the sales tax. Then find the total cost of the item.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You must state the "price before tax".  Let this be P.  Also, you must state the sales tax rate.  Let this be r, where r is a decimal fraction.  

Then the sales tax is rP, the product of the tax rate and the "price before tax."

The total cost of the item (for which it is sold) is (P + rP)($40).

If P = $40 and the sales tax rate is 7%, then

this total cost is (1 + 0.07)P = 1.07P = $42.80

Your question would be clearer if you wrote it like this:  Given that the base price of an item is $40 and that the sales tax rate is 7%, find the total cost of the item with tax.  That would be (1 + 0.07)($40), or $42.80.

The sales tax is $42.80 - $40 = $2.80.

Suppose A and B are square matrices of the same size. Which of the following are necessarily true?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

c. (A + B)^2-A^2 + 2AB + B^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

a.

(A-B)^2 = A^2 - 2AB + B^2

If and only if AB = BA

Then;

(A-B)^2 = (A -B ) (A - B)

(A-B)^2 = A^2 - AB-BA + B^2    (FALSE)

b.

(AB)^2=A^2B^2

on true if any only if AB =BA

(AB)^2= (AB) (AB)

c.

(A+ B)^2 =  A^2 + 2AB + B^2

(A+ B)^2 = (A + B) (A+B)

(A+ B)² = A × A + A × B + B × A + B × B

(A+ B)^2 = A^2 + A*B + B*A + B^2

This is true
