The triangle has sides "a", "b" and "c", where side a = side b and the hypotenuse (side "c") equals side "a" or "b" times the square root of 2.

Prism volume = triangle area * height
342.1 = triangle area * 13.2
triangle area =  342.1 / 13.2
<span><span><span>triangle area =  25.9166666667 </span> </span> </span>

area of a triangle is (1/2) base * height
In a 45 45 90 triangle, the base = height and since we don't know either the base or the height we'll call both "x".
So triangle area = (1/2) * x^2
<span>25.9166666667 = (1/2) * x^2
x^2 = </span><span>51.8333333334
x ( the base and the height) = </span><span><span><span>7.1995370222 </span> </span> </span> <span> </span>  
the hypotenuse of a 45 45 90 triangle = leg * square root (2) =
hypotenuse = <span>7.1995370222 * sq root (2)
</span><span><span><span>hypotenuse = 10.1816828995 </span> </span> </span>

So, one of the legs = <span><span>7.1995370222 </span>

Wen takes a job with a starting salary of $100,000 for the first year. she earns a 3% increase each year. what does s5 represent
steposvetlana [31]
S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1- r^{n})  }{1-r} a_{1} = 100000, r=1.03, n=5
S_{5} = \frac{100000(1- 1.03^{5}) }{1-1.03} = \frac{100000(-.159)}{-.03} =530,000

So after 5 years she is making $530,000.

Hope that helps

Please help with this problem how to solve from percent to fraction?
Nana76 [90]
First, divide the percent by 100. Then if the percent is not a whole number, then multiply the top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. :)

Solve for x<br> Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.<br> -x^2-8=-33
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

x = -5, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2-8=-33

Add 8 to each side

-x^2-8+8=-33+8

-x^2 = -25

Divide each side by -1

x^2 = 25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(25)

x = ±5

Answer:

1.we know the perimeter of the triangle=x-3+x+6+x=3x+3

so,answer is (b)3x+3

2.area of the triangle=1/2*b*h

=1/2*x+2*2x+6=x+2*2x+6/2=2x^2+6x+4x+12/2=2x^2+10x+12/2=2(x^2+5x+6)/2=x^2+5x+6

so,answer is(b)x^2+5x+6
