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

Please help with the following question
Alex17521 [72]
P1=(0,0)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=0
P2=(3,-2)=(x2,y2)→x2=3, y2=-2

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-2-0)/(3-0)
m=(-2)/3
m=-2/3

Point-slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0=(-2/3)(x-0)
y=-(2/3)x

Answer: The equation of the line is: y=-(2/3)x

The length of a rectangular garden is three feet less than twice it’s width. If the perimeter of the garden is 42 feet, what is
Masja [62]

Answer:

The length of a rectangular garden is: 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 2 lengths that are 2x-3 feet, and 2 widths that are x.

2x-3 + 2x-3 +x +x =42 feet

4x -6 +2x -42 feet

6x -6 = 42 feet

6x = 48 feet

x = 8 feet (so, 2x-3 = 16-3 = 13 feet)

The pay, P, at a certain job is calculated by the formula P=Bh, where b is the base pay and h is the number of hours worked. if
Alexxx [7]
If you would like to know the Tom's pay for the week, you can calculate this using the following steps:

P = B * h
P ... the pay
B ... the base pay
h ... the number of hours worked

B = $6.35
h = 28 hours
P = B * h = $6.35 * 28 hours = $177.8

<span>Tom's pay for the week would be $177.8.</span>
