The right triangle above has height h centimeters and hypotenuse t centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the

triangle, in terms of h and t ?
Mathematics

White raven [17]3 years ago

Answer:

A = \frac{h\sqrt{t^{2} - h^{2}}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle:

height h, width w, hypotenuse h

Area is: A = \frac{h*w}{2}

Pytagoras theorem: h^{2} + w^{2} = t^{2}

In this question:

To find the area, in terms of h and t, we have to write w as a function of h and t. So

h^{2} + w^{2} = t^{2}

w^{2} = t^{2} - h^{2}

w = \sqrt{t^{2} - h^{2}}

So the area is:

A = \frac{h*w}{2}

A = \frac{h\sqrt{t^{2} - h^{2}}}{2}

Jamil finds that he reads 1/5 of his 115-page book in 1/4 hour
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

He will read 92 pages in an hour going by the current rate at which he reads

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

Jamil found that he reads 1/5 of his 115 - page book in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate how many pages does he read in an hour

We proceed as follows;

If he reads 1/5 of 115 in 1/4 hour

1/5 of 115 pages refer to 1/5 * 115 = 23 pages

This means that he reads 23 pages in quarter of an hour

So in an hours the number of pages he will read will be 23 * 4 = 92 pages

The position of an open-water swimmer is shown in the graph. The shortest route to the shoreline is one that is perpendicular to
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To define the perpendicular line we need to first know the slope of the reference line graphed.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) we have points (0,5) and (2,1)

m=(1-5)/(2-0)

m=-4/2

m=-2

For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must satisfy

m1m2=-1, we have a line with a slope of -2 so

-2m=-1

m=1/2, so our perpendicular line is so far

y=x/2+b, it must have point (3,2) so we can solve for b

2=3/2+b

b=1/2, so the swimmer will travel along the line

y=x/2+1/2

An equation and the steps to solve it are shown below:
Elan Coil [88]
Hello,

2x - one over four of (12x + 4) = 3
must be written:
2x-1/4 *(12x+4)=3
And we see a sign '-' before 1/4.

Step 1:
2x-(3x+1)=3 or 2x-3x-1=3 and not 2x+3x-1=3

Answer A
since  Step 1, because incorrect signs have been used
