Answer: 24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Inradius = r

c = the hypothenuse

a & b = the other 2 sides of the triangle

Inradius formula: r = 1/2 * (a+b-c)

Plug in what we know.

2 = 1/2 * (a+b-10)

Multiply both sides by 2.

2*2 = 1/2 * (a+b-10) * 2

4 = a+b-10

Add 10 to both sides.

4+10 = a+b-10+10

14 = a+b

Perimeter formula: P=a+b+c

Plug in what we know

(remember a+b=14).

P=14 + 10

P = 24

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find an approximate value of x
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse² =base² + altitude²

(3x + 4)² = (2x + 1)² + (3x)²

{Use (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

(3x)² + 2*3x+4 + 4² = (2x)² + 2*2x*1 + 1² + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 4x² + 4x + 1 + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 13x² + 4x + 1

0 = 13x² + 4x  + 1 - 9x²  - 24x - 16

13x² - 9x² + 4x - 24x +1 - 16 = 0

4x² - 20x - 15 = 0

a = 4 ; b =-20  ; c = -15

D = b² - 4ac  = (-20)² - 4*4*(-15) = 400 + 240 = 640

√D = √640 = 25.30

x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{20+25.30}{2*4} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{20-25.30}{2*4}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{45.30}{8} \ ; \  x =\dfrac{-5.30}{8}\\\\

x = 5 .66   ; x = -0.66

Ignore x = -0.66 as length of a side cannot be negative

Answer : x = 5.66

Find the standard deviation of the following set of data (1.2, 2.3, 5.2, 6.6, 4.8)
Vesna [10]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer s B. 2.21</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three steps to calculate the standard deviation of the set of data given.

n = 5 (5 numbers in the set)

1. Calculate the mean, this way:

(1.2 + 2.3 + 5.2 + 6.6 + 4.8)/5 = 20.1/5 = 4.02

μ = 4.02

2. Calculate the variance, this way:

Sum of the squared difference between each number of the set and the mean divided by the number of elements of the sample minus one.

[(1.2 - 4.02)² + (2.3 - 4.02)² + (5.2 - 4.02)² + (6.6 - 4.02)² + (4.8 - 4.02)²]/4 =

19.568/4 = 4.892

σ² = 4.892

3. Finally, the standard deviation. this way:

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

σ² = 4.892

√σ² = √4.892

σ = 2.21

<u>The correct answer s B. 2.21</u>

What is the recursive rule for this geometric sequence? 1/2, -2, 8, -32
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive rule allows us to find the term in a sequence from the previous term.

From the given geometric sequence find r the common ratio

r = \frac{-2}{\frac{1}{2} } = \frac{8}{-2} = - 4

Hence recursive rule is

a_{n+1} = - 4a_{n} ( a₁ = \frac{1}{2} )
