For this case, we have to form a rectangular triangle. Where the hypotenuse is 45 feet and the base of the triangle is 27 feet. We must find the height.

By the Pythagorean theorem, we have that the height is given by:

h = \sqrt {H ^ 2-b ^ 2}

Where:

h: Height

H: Hypotenuse

b: Base

Summarizing the values:

h = \sqrt {45 ^ 2-27 ^ 2}\\h = \sqrt {2025-729}\\h = \sqrt {1296}\\h = 36

Thus, the height is 36 feet.

Answer:

36 feet.

Write an equation for the line parallel to the line 5/8x−7/6y =2 through the point (7,−1).
LiRa [457]

y =  -  \frac{28}{48x - 15} -  \frac{125}{321}is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question,

•<u> </u><u>First</u>, find the slope of the line parallel to the line 5/8x−7/6y=2 :-

m =  - \frac{28}{ - 15 + 48x}

•<u>Second</u>, find the equation of the line,

y =  -  \frac{28}{48x - 15} -  \frac{125}{321}

Which characteristics do the functions have in common?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Range, Maximum, and y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is the y-values of the function. Each of these functions has a range of (-inf, 10].

The maximum is the largest y-value that is part of the range, which is 10 for both functions.

y-intercept is where the function crosses the y-axis which is 10 for both functions.

Write the equation of the circle with center (−3, −2) and (4, 5) a point on the circle.
Naddika [18.5K]
1. distance = √((x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²)= radius of the circle.

distance = √((4-(-3))²+(5-(-2))7²) = √98

2. (x-k)²+(y-h)²=r² center (-3,-2) which is (k,h)

(x-(-3))²+(y-(-2))²= (√98)²

(x+3)+(y+2)² = 98 is the equation
