Let, one leg be x units.
since the other leg is 9.0 units shorter than the other,
the measure of the other leg =x-9
hypotenuse =13.0 units
According to Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
x^2 +(x-9)^2 =13^2
x^2 + x^2 -18x +81 = 169
2x^2-18x-88=0
Divide the whole equation by 2
x^2 - 9x -44 =0
Let's use the quadratic formula to find the roots.
formula: x= [-b ± sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)]/2*a
a=1 b=-9 c=-44
x= [9±sqrt(81+176)]/2
=[9±sqrt(257)]/2
=[9±16.03]/2
=25.03/2 or -7.03/2
length of a triangle cannot be negative,
Therefore, x=25.03/2 =12.52
one leg =12.5 units
other leg =12.52-9 =3.5 units
Answer:
v = 15 miles / hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance covered by biker = s=45 miles
time taken by him = t=180 minutes
TO Find:
speed in miles per hour = v = ?
Solution:
As it is given that the distance covered is 45 miles
and time taken by him is 180 minutes
as one hour have 60 minutes
so time taken by rider = t = 180 /60
= 3 hours
this step is done because we have to find speed in miles per hour
Now
The formula for finding the distance is
distance = speed * time
or
s = v * t
we have to find v
so dividing both sides by t
it becomes
Putting the values
solving it gives
v = 15 miles / hour
which is the required speed
in the given options it is not available
This is the answer -1/6, -3, 1/6, .5,
Answer:
-3 or decreasing by 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the average change, you only care about the first and last point which would be (3,17) and (8,2)
the overall change during that time is 2-17=-15 (for the f(x) side )
the overall change during that time is 8-3=5(for the x side)
all we have to do is -15/5=-3
therefore the average rate of change is -3
