Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where  a  and  b  are the legs of the right triangle, and  c  is the hypotenuse (longest side!).

There is no picture provided with the problem, so it might be possible for the right angle to be at C and the hypotenuse is AB.  But that won't work with the answer choices given, because then (AB)^2=7^2+8^2 \\ (AB)^2=49+64=113 \\ AB = \sqrt{113}

Now you know that the 7 must be a leg and 8 the hypotenuse.  Then 7^2+(AB)^2=8^2 \\ 49+(AB)^2=64 \\(AB)^2=64-49 \\ AB=\sqrt{15}.

By the way, it cannot be that 7 is the hypotenuse because it's the longest side and 8 is longer.

Find an equation that models the path of a satellite if its path is a hyperbola, a = 55,000 km, and c= 81,000 km. Assume the cen
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{55000^2} - \frac{y^2}{59464^2} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

the transverse axis is horizontal.

so its a horizontal hyperbola

Center is the origin so center is (0,0)

Equation of horizontal hyperbola is

\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Given a= 55000 and c= 81000

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

81000^2 = 55000^2 + b^2

subtract 55000^2 on both sides

b  = sqrt(81000^2 - 55000^2)= 59464.27

now plug in the values

\frac{x^2}{55000^2} - \frac{y^2}{59464^2} =1
