Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the short leg is x and the hypotenuse is y. Then, y = 3x (because "The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of the shorter leg.")

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse). Here, we can say a = x and b = 12 and c = y. So:

x^2 + 12^2 = y^2

x^2 + 144 = (3x)^2

x^2 + 144 = 9x^2

8x^2 = 144

x^2 = 18

x = \sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}

The answer is D.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Last one: 3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter length be S

Then,

The hypotenuse would be: 3S

Using pythagoras theorem,

(3S)² = S² + 12²

9S² = S² + 144

8S² = 144

S² = 18

S = sqrt(18)

S = 3sqrt(2)

Answer:

sin = o/h = 5/13

cos = a/h = 12/13

tan = o/a = 5/12

o - opposite

a- adjacent

h - hypotenuse

Omar broke a cell sample into 8 batches, each
Nady [450]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have 8 equally "heavy" batches.

one weighs 3.9 × 10^-10 g

so, the total sample then weighed

8 × 3.9 × 10^-10 = 31.2 × 10^-10 = 3.12 × 10^-9 g

Marcus, Shaun, and Tristan each invested into new business. They invested 1 point
Schach [20]

Shaun invested $176,250 into the new business.

Marcus invested half of the $940,000 so the amount that Shaun and Tristan invested is:

= 940,000 / 2

= $470,000

Shaun and Tristan invested in the ratio 3:5.

The amount that Shaun invested is:

<em>= (Ratio of Shaun / Sum of the ratios) x Amount both invested </em>

= (3 / (3 + 5 )) x 470,000

= 3/8 x 470,000

= $176,250

In conclusion, Shaun must have invested $176,250 into the business.
