In a right triangle, this formula can be used:


a^2 + b^2 = c^2


when a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.


Substitute the numbers from the problem into the formula.


14^2 + b^2 = 18^2


Simplify.


196 + b^2 = 324

b^2 = 128

b = square root of 128 = 11.3137...


When 11.313 is rounded to the nearest tenth, it is 11.3


The length of the other leg is 11.3 centimeters.


Hope this helps!

Answer: 11.3 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle has the hypotenuse, adjacent and the opposite. The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right angle triangle. The square of the hypotenuse equals the addition of the square of the adjacent and the square of the opposite.

Hypotenuse2 = Opposite2 + Adjacent 2

Since hypotenuse is 18cm and a leg is 14cm, the other leg will be:

Let the other leg be d

18^2 = 14^2 + d^2

324 = 196 + d^2

d^2 = 324 - 196

d^2 = 128

To get the value of the other leg, we find the square root of 128.

d^2 = 128

d =√128

d = 11.3

The other leg is 11.3 centimeters

hammer [34]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides

2x + 10 = -14

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides

2x = -24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

x = -12

ben earned 45 dollars mowing lawns. he worked 3.2 hours on monday and 4.3 hours on tuesday. how much did he earn per hour?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

6 dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up and solve an equation to answer this question. For this problem, let x stand for the amount he earned per hour. The equation that represents this situation is 3.2x + 4.3x = 45. The first term represents monday and the second represents tuesday. When these add up they should equal 45 because that is the total amount he made. To find his pay per hour, solve for x.

First, combine the like terms

  • 7.5x=45

Next, divide both sides by 7.5

  • x=6
