The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides that measure 7 cm and 24 cm is 25 cm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given a right angled triangle,

The sides measure 7 cm and 24 cm

We have to find the length of hypotenuse

For a right angled triangle, by Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

From above definition we get,

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Where, "c" is the length of hypotenuse

"a" is the length of one side of triangle

"b" is the length of other side of triangle

Here, a = 7 and b = 24 and c = ?

$c^2 = 7^2 + 24^2\\\\c^2 = 49 + 576 = 625$

Taking square root on both sides,

$c = \sqrt{625}\\\\c = 25$

Hence the length of hypotenuse is 25 cm

This table shows the relationship of the total number of pieces of fruit to the number of bananas.

Given:

The table that shows the relationship of the total number of pieces of fruit to the number of bananas.

To find:

Why is $\dfrac{6}{5}$ not equivalent to $\dfrac{3}{2}$ .

Solution:

If a, b, c are real numbers, then

$\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{a\times c}{b\times c}$

The given fraction is $\dfrac{3}{2}$ . It can be written as:

$\dfrac{3\times 2}{2\times 2}=\dfrac{6}{4}$

The number 3 is multiplied by 2 to get 6. So, the 2 should also be multiplied by 2. The ratio should be $\dfrac{6}{4}$ , not $\dfrac{6}{5}$ .

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Find the length of the tangent segment AB to the circles centered at O and O' whose radii are a and b respectively when the circ

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$AB=2\sqrt{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

$OA=a, \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)$

In triangle $OO'D$

$(OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2$

$\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]$

Hence, $AB=2\sqrt{ab}$
