Answer:

Let the base be p

Hypotenuse = 2p +6

Perpendicular = 2p + 4

By Pythagoras theoram

(2p+6)^2 = (2p+4)^2 +p^2

=> 4p^2 +36 + 24p = 4p^2 + 16 +16p +p^2

=> 36+ 24p = p^2 + 16p + 16

=> p^2 - 8p - 20 = 0

=> p^2 - 10p +2p - 20 = 0

=> p(p-10) +2(p-10) = 0

=> (p-10)(p+2) = 0

p = 10 and - 2

Length can't be negative

So,

p = 10

Base = 10

Perpendicular = 24

Hypotenuse = 26

Rewrite the equation by completing the square.<br>x^2-2x+1=0​
kaheart [24]

Answer:

(x - 1)² = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 2x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x² - 2x = - 1

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = - 1 + 1

(x - 1)² = 0

The amount of water dispensed by a water dispenser is normally distributed,
Contact [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - C.  11.45 ounces to 11.75 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule of the distribution for 68% falls under the normal curve falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

That is:

μ±δ

From the given information, the mean is

μ = 11.60

and the standard deviation is

δ = 0.15

We substitute the given parameters to obtain;

11.60±0.15

11.75 and 11.45

This means the lower limit is

11.45

and the upper limit is

11.75

Cheyenne ran a 5.6-kilometer race in 40 minutes. What was her speed in kilometers per hour? A. 224 B. 8.4 C. 7.1 D. 0.14
xz_007 [3.2K]
Hey there! :D

Let's find what Cheyenne runs in 10 minutes. 

Divide 5.6 by 4. 

5.6/4= 1.4

Multiply that by 6. (there are 60 minutes in an hour)

1.4*6= 8.4

"B" is the answer.

I hope this helps!

The distance from Kenya's house to her job is 18 miles. One morning she left her house at 7:15 a.m. She traveled at the rate of
Snezhnost [94]

20 minutes = 1/3 of an hour

1/3 = 0.333

 1/3 x 45mph = 15, so she drove 15 miles at 45mph

18-15 = 3

3 miles/ 20 mph = 0.15 hours


0.333+0.15 = 0.483 hours total

0.483 x 60 = 28.98 so approximately 29 minutes total driving time

7:15 + 29 minutes is 7:44 am she arrived at work
