Well, we know that the legs of this triangle are equal, and we know
that the area of any triangle is  (1/2)(base)(height) .

Since this is a right triangle, we can set it down on one leg, and then
the other leg will be the height.  Then ...

    Area = (1/2) (base) (height)

             = (1/2) (leg) (leg)

    65 cm²  =  (1/2) (leg)²

Multiply each side by  2 :  130 cm²  =  (leg)²

Take the square root of each side:      leg = √130 cm²  =  11.402 cm

                                        rounded to the nearest tenth:    11.4 cm

I don’t get it. Please help thanks
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$2,410.69

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,950 x 1.15 = $2,242.50 after 15% markup

$2,242.50 x 1.075 = $2,410.68 after the 7.5% sales tax.


or you can do:


$1,950 x 0.15 = $292.5 markup

$1,950 + $292.5 = $2,242.50

$2,242.50 x 0.075 = $168.19 for sales tax

$2,242.50 + $168.19 = $2,410.69 total

Does the relation y=x^2-1 defines y as a function of x
Reil [10]

Answer:

Yes.

From Definition - A special relationship where each input has a single output.

Check if there is going to be one y for one x.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Re-write it in terms of y=…., meaning solve for y
  2. If it looks like you have two equations then it is a relationship -case a
  3. If you need to prove that one has a function for case b, you would point out that if you substitute any value you will get some value in Reals.
