Answer:

b = 5.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a right triangle, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.

We know that the hypotenuse is 9, and one leg is 7. We are missing the other leg which is called b.

The Pythagorean theorem tells us that if the hypotenuse is c and the legs of the right triangle are a and b, then we have c^{2} = a^{2} +b^{2}

So we're going to solve this formula for the values given c= 9 and a = 7

9^{2} =7^{2} +b^{2} \\81=49+b^{2} \\81-49=b^{2} \\32=b^{2} \\\sqrt{32} =b

Thus, b = \sqrt{32} =5.65

Apply the Pythagoras Theorem

{c }^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}
{9 }^{2}  =  {7}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}
81 =  49+  {b}^{2}
81  -  49 = {b}^{2}
32= {b}^{2}
Take square root of both sides

b =  \sqrt{32}
b = 4  \sqrt{2}

denpristay [2]

Answer: 15.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(14)^2 + (6)^2 = c^2

196 + 36 = c^2

232 = c^2

Square root both sides

15.231546 = c

15.2 ≈ c

Solve for x. The triangles in each pair are similar. <br>​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to pay very close attention to the triangle similarity statement.  This says that triangle NML is similar to triangle NVU.  But if you look at the way that triangle NVU is oriented in its appearance, it's laying on its side.  We need to set it upright so that angle N is the vertex angle, angle V is the base angle on the left, and angle U is the base angle on the right.  When we do that we see that sides NV and NM are corresponding and exist in a ratio to one another; likewise with sides VU and ML.  Setting up the proportion:

\frac{NV}{NM}=\frac{VU}{ML}

Filling in:

\frac{12}{36} =\frac{9}{9x}

Cross multiply to get

324 = 108x

and x = 3

Someone explain it please

Answer:

  ∠A = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of angle A, you need to know the value of the variable x. This means you need some relation that you can solve to find x.

Happily, that relation is "the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°." This means ...

  84° +(x +59)° +(x +51)° = 180°

  (2x + 194)° = 180° . . . collect terms

  2x = -14 . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, and subtract 194

  x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

Now, the measure of angle A is ...

  ∠A = (x +51)° = (-7 +51)°

  ∠A = 44°
