Answer: 14.96ft


Step-by-step explanation:

  1. To solve this exercise you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is:

a=\sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}}

Where a is the hypotenuse, and b and c are the other sides of the triangle.

2. You have that the sides given measures 12 inches. 1 feet has 12 inches. Therefore, this side measures 1 feet.

2. Then, when you  solve for one of the sides and substitute the values given in the problem into the formula shown above, you obtain that the length of  the side of the rigth triangle is:

 b=\sqrt{(15ft)^{2}-(1ft)^{2}}

b=4\sqrt{14}=14.96ft

<u>Answer:</u>

14.97 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have a right angled triangle with a side length of 12 inches and hypotenuse of 15ft.

To find the other side length, we will use the Pythagoras Theorem but before that, we need to make the units same for both the given sides.

Since 1 feet has 12 inches so we can use both the sides in ft to find the third side length.

a = \sqrt{b^2+c^2}

where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the rest of the sides of the triangle.

b = \sqrt{(15)^2-(1)^2}

b = \sqrt{224}

b = 14.97

Therefore, the third side length is 14.97 ft.

Answer:

The slope is \frac{3}{2}

The y-intercept is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the equation that passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line whose rule is m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
  • b is the y-intercept, you can find it by substituting x, y in the equation by (x1, y1) OR (x2, y2)

Let us solve the question:

Choose any two-point from the table

∵ The line passes through the points (2, 12) and (4, 15)

∴ x1 = 2 and x2 = 4

∴ y1 = 12 and y2 = 15

→ Use the rule of m to find it

∵ m=\frac{15-12}{4-2}=\frac{3}{2}

∴ m = \frac{3}{2}

∴ The slope is \frac{3}{2}

→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above

∴ y = \frac{3}{2} x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y by x1 and y1

∴ 12 = \frac{3}{2} (2) + b

∴ 12 = 3 + b

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ 12 -3 = 3 - 3 + b

∴ 9 = b

∴ The y-intercept is 9

Which value is a solution of the equation 5 - 4x = -3?
kow [346]

Well I don't know, and you forgot to give me any choices or suggestions.
So I'll have to calculate it.  You can watch if you feel like it.

You said                                5 - 4x  =  -3

Subtract  5  from each side:     - 4x  =  -8

Divide each side by  -4 :               x = 2
