The length of hypotenuse is 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Vertical side = a = 15

Horizontal side = b = 36

Hypotenuse = c

Using pythagorean theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(15)^2+(36)^2=c^2\\225+1296=c^2\\1521=c^2\\c^2=1521$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{1521}\\c=39$

The length of hypotenuse is 39.

A circle has its center at (0,0) and passes through the point (0,9). What is the standard equation of the circle?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x^2+y^2=9^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where the center of a circle is (h,k) and r is the radius of the circle. In this case because a circle is equidistant from the center and we have a point where it passes through 9 that means that the radius is 9. However, since the standard equation states that we must write r in the form of $r^2$ this means that $r^2=9^2$ . Therefore by plugging in the values we have:
