The shortest leg=2*hypotenuse/3

hypotenuse^2=4*hypotenuse^2/9 + 5hypotenuse^2/9

the longest leg is V5/3* hypotenuse

A quadrilateral-shaped land property is drawn on a coordinate grid. Two adjacent sides of the property lie along the lines y = 4
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

P(-4,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two lines:

y = 4x + 8;$ and $ \\y = -0.25x - 9

To determine the point of intersection P of the lines, we equate the two lines and solve for (x,y).

4x + 8= -0.25x - 9\\4x+0.25x=-9-8\\4.25x=-17\\$Divide both sides by 4.25$\\x=-4\\$Recall:$\\y = 4x + 8\\=4(-4)+8\\=-16+8\\=-8

Therefore, the intersection point P of the lines is: P(-4,-8)

The dot plots show the heights of boys and girls at a summer camp.
joja [24]

Answer:

First choice:

  • <em><u>Most of the data in each plot are greater than 48.</u></em>

Explanation:

1. Boy's Heights.

Using the information you can create a frequency table:

Heigth    Frequency

40                   0

41                     1

44                    3

46                    3

48                    2

50                    3

52                    4

54                    4

56                    0

58                    0

60                    0

                   ======

                      20 boys

2. Girl's Heights.

Similarly, create your frequency table:

Height        Frequency

40                      0

41                       0

42                      0

44                      2

46                      3

48                       1

50                      3

52                       4

54                       3

56                       4

58                       0

60                       0

                      ======

                        20 girls

<em>Which is a true statement for most of the data in each plot?</em>

<u><em>Most of the data in each plot are greater than 48.</em></u>

  • Count the dots or add the frequencies from the tables.

  • For boys, the frequency of points greater than 48 is: 3 + 4 + 4 = 11 which is more than half (there are 20 dots).

  • For girls, the frequency of points greater than 48 is: 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 14, which is also more than half.

Hence, it is correct that most fo the data in each plot are greater than 48.

Find the missing length. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Jobisdone [24]
Answer: D. 9.4 units

Explanation: We use the Pythagoras theorem because we know that it’s a right triangle and we have 2 lengths.

8^2+5^2= c^2

89=c^2
c= sqrt 89
c≈9.4 units

∠1 ​ and ∠2 are supplementary.
Rasek [7]
By definition, supplementary angles are those whose sum is 180°

Therefore, ∠2 = 180 - ∠1
2x + 4 = 180 - 124
2x = 52
x = 26°
