Answer: 9.17cm

Since it is a right angle triangle, we can use <span>Pythagoras T<span>heorem to find the missing leg.

</span></span>-------------------------------------------------<span>
Formula 
-------------------------------------------------
a</span>² + b² = c², c being the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse, denoted by c, is 10cm. One leg, denoted by a, is 4cm.  Apply the formula and solve for the other leg, denoted by b.

-------------------------------------------------
Solve the missing side
-------------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
4² + b² = 10²
16 + b² = 100             ←subtract 16 from both sides
-16           -16
b² = 84                       ←square root both sides
b = √84
b = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)

So the other leg, denoted by b, is 9.17cm

-------------------------------------------------
Answer: 9.17 cm

Let f(x) = 12 over the quantity of 4 x + 2. Find f(−1). (1 point)
mylen [45]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope I understand your "f(x) = 12 over the quantity of 4 x + 2" correctly

f(x) = 12 / 4x +2

Now so they want a f(-1), as u can see they substituted the x for - 1, therefor do that the same to the right side

f(-1) = 12/ 4(-1) + 2

f(-1) = 12 / - 4+2

= 12/ - 2

= - 6

A cube has side length a. The side lengths are decreased to 20% of their original size. Write an expression in simplest form for
Travka [436]

Answer:

0.512a³ cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cube of length, a, then when decreased by 20%, what's left is actually 80% of the original. So, for this case, we have a cube with a length of 80%(a) = 0.80a.

Now, to compute for the volume of a cube, we multiply the length three times to itself. Or, in other words, raise the length to the third power. That means the volume of the new cube is (0.8a)³ = 0.512a³ cubic units.

10. Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part-time for a florist. What is the minimum number of hours you must work to earn a
UNO [17]
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u>   then the answer would be 17.24 hours. 
                                   7.25   7.25

The parabola y = x² - 4 opens: <br> A.) up <br> B.) down<br> C.) right<br> D.) left
fomenos

Answer:

Up

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the easy rules to remember the orientation of the parabolas are

a) If x is squared it opens up or down. And its coefficient of {x^{2}[tex] is negative it opens down.b) If y is squared it opens side ways right or left. It its coefficient of [tex]y^{2}

Hence in our equation of parabola

y = x^ 2-4

x is squared and its coefficient is positive , hence it opens up towards positive y axis.
