To find the length of the missing side, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which you can only use for right triangles.
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
[ c is the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle, and a and b are the other sides, I think it doesn't matter which side ]
Plug in what you know:
b = 8
c = 14
a² + b² = c²
a² + (8)² = (14)²
a² + 64 = 196 Subtract 64 on both sides
a² = 132 Square root both sides to get "a" by itself
a = inches
If you need to simplify more, you need to find two numbers that multiply to = 132 where one of them can be square rooted, to do so you can list the greatest common factors of 132
132: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132
The only number that can be square rooted is 4, so you can do:
From the graph of the linear functions, we have that both snowman's will have the same height of 21 inches after 5 hours.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For this problem, we have that:
- The initial height is the intercept.
- The melting rate, as a negative, is the slope.
Hence the functions are given as follows:
- A(t) = 51 - 6t.
- B(t) = 36 - 3t.
The functions are graphed at the end of the answer, with <u>A(t) in red and B(t) in blue,</u> and they intersect at (5,21), meaning that both snowman's will have the same height of 21 inches after 5 hours.
