Find the third side in simplest radical form:​

Mathematics
1 answer:
leonid [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The third side is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

a^2 +225 = 289

Subtract 225 from each side

a^2 +225-225=289-225

a^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)

a= 8

If 6 is added to three quarters of a certain number, the result is 42 . Find the original number​
Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Hello!

3x/4 + 6=42

3x/4=42-6 = 36

3x = 36*4

3x = 144

x= 144/3 =48

3/4 of  48  = (48*3)  / 4 =36

36+6=42

Whats the answer to -3a+8-8(7-2a)​
Serga [27]

Answer:3.1875

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

-3 + 8 + -8(7 + -2a) = 0

-3 + 8 + (7 * -8 + -2a * -8) = 0

-3 + 8 + (-56 + 16a) = 0

Combine like terms: -3 + 8 = 5

5 + -56 + 16a = 0

Combine like terms: 5 + -56 = -51

-51 + 16a = 0

Solving

-51 + 16a = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '51' to each side of the equation.

-51 + 51 + 16a = 0 + 51

Combine like terms: -51 + 51 = 0

0 + 16a = 0 + 51

16a = 0 + 51

Combine like terms: 0 + 51 = 51

16a = 51

Divide each side by '16'.

a = 3.1875

Simplifying

a = 3.1875
