Answer:

x = 8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 +x^2 = 17^2

225 + x^2 = 289

Subtract 225 from each side

225-225 + x^2 = 289-225

x^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(64)

x = 8

<h3>Answer: x = 8</h3>

===========================================

Work Shown:

a = 15 is the length of one leg

b = x is the unknown other leg

c = 17 is the hypotenuse

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(15)^2 + x^2 = (17)^2

225 + x^2 = 289

x^2 = 289 - 225

x^2 = 64

x = sqrt(64)

x = 8

A square is put together by two triangles. The hypotenuse is 11 cm and width of 8 cm. find the height of triangle?
Aleks [24]
You can use the pythagorean theorem. Make sure that you put the measurements in the right places though. Since 11 is the measure of the hypotenuse, 11 has to be c. When you plug in the information that you have, it should look like this:
8^2 + b^2 = 11^2

Square 8 and 11. 
64 + b^2 = 121

Subtract 64 from 121
121 - 64 = 57

The new equation is:
b^2 = 57

Now take the square root of both sides to get b by itself. 
b = about 7.5

Answer: The height of the triangle is 7.5

Answer:

A function can be any set of points where one input is equal to one output. You cannot have two X values with the same Y value, for example.

<u>I believe the answer is neither</u> because in both sets you can see they have different Y values for the X values 2 and 9.
