Answer:

The length of hypotenuse is 4.2 feet and length of first leg is 1.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x is the length of the first leg.

It is given that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of its first leg.

Hypotenuse = 3x

The length of the other leg is 4 feet.

Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

x^2+4^2=(3x)^2

x^2+16=9x^2

16=8x^2

2=x^2

\sqrt{2}=x

x = 1.4 feet(nearest tenth)

The length of hypotenuse = 3x = 3×1.4 = 4.2 feet

The length of hypotenuse is 4.2 feet and length of first leg is 1.4 feet.

a). 0.45 with a line over the 45 means 0.45454545454545... forever.

It's equivalent to  45/99  which is  <em>5/11</em> .

b). 0.45 with a line over the 5 means 0.455555555... forever.

It's equivalent to (0.4 + 0.555555.../10)

The 0.4 part is  4/10

The 0.5555555555.../10 part is  5/90 .

(4/10) + (5/90) = <em>41/90 </em>

c). 0.45 means 45/100 .  That's <em> 9/20</em> .

I don't think you're supposed to be posting unit test questions on Brainly.

oee [108]

Given:

The sequence is defined as "triple v, then subtract 7 from the result".

To find:

The expression for the given sequence.

Solution:

Triple v means 3 times of v, i.e., 3v.

So, the result is 3v.

Then subtract 7 from the result. So, the expression for the sequence is

3v-7

Therefore, the required expression is 3v-7.
