You use the equation a²+b²=c²

c = the hypotenuse

a and b represents the legs

Here are two examples

Example 1

Side a = 6

Side b = 8

6²+8²=c²

Square the legs

36+64=x²

Sdd

100= x²

Now we use the square root to find x

√100=√x

Solve the square root

10 = x

Example 2

side a = 3

hypotenuse = 7

3²+x²=7²

Square the known numbers

9+x²=49

Subtract 9 from 49

x²=40

Find the square root

√x=√40

x= 6.32 or 2√10

Hope this helps :)

If anyone knows please help me

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a circle is given by,

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

Here, (a, b) is the center and 'r' is the radius of the circle.

For a circle having center (8, -4) and radius r = 1

Equation of the circle will be,

(x - 8)² + (y + 4)² = 1²

(x - 8)² + (y + 4)² = 1

Option (1) is the answer.

Question (2)

Circle with the center (-1, 0) and a point (2, -4) on it,

Radius of the circle = Distance between the center and the given point on                                         circumference

                                = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

                                = \sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(0+4)^2}

                                = \sqrt{9+16}

                                = 5

Therefore, equation of the circle will be,

(x + 1)² + (y - 0)² = 5²

(x + 1)² + y² = 25

The currency in switzerland is called a franc. On a certain day, one U.S. dollar equaled 1 1/4 swiss france. Write and solve a m
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

<u>The equation is x = y * 4/5  and US$ 12 would equal 15 Swiss Francs</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this question:</u>

1 US$ equivalent to 1 1/4  Swiss Franc

2. Let's write and solve a multiplication equation to find the amount  of US$ that would equal 15 Swiss Francs

x = Amount of US$ equivalent

y = Amount of Swiss Francs

x = y /1.25

x = y / 5/4 (1.25 = 5/4)

<u>x = y * 4/5</u>

Now, let's replace with the real values:

x = 15 * 4/5

x = 60/5

<u>x = 12</u>

<u>US$ 12 would equal 15 Swiss Francs</u>
