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

Find 2 common angles that sum to (17pi/12) 2. Evaluate tan(17pi/12) using the sum identity for tangent.

Dmitry [639]

Note that
$\frac{17 \pi }{12} = \frac{3 \pi }{12} + \frac{14 \pi }{12} = \frac{ \pi }{4} + \frac{7 \pi }{6}$

Note that
$x= \frac{ \pi }{4}:\,\, sin(x) =cos(x)= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} },\,tan(x)=1\\x= \frac{7 \pi }{6} :\,\,sin(x)=- \frac{1}{2} ,\,\,cos(x)=- \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} ,\,\,tan(x)= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} }$

Use the identity
$tan(x+y)= \frac{tan(x)+tan(y)}{1-tan(x)tan(y)}$

Therefore
$tan( \frac{17 \pi }{12} )= \frac{1+ \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } }{1- \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } } = \frac{ \sqrt{3}+1 }{ \sqrt{3}-1} = \frac{( \sqrt{3}+1 )^{2}}{( \sqrt{3}-1 )( \sqrt{3}+1 )} = \frac{3+1+2 \sqrt{3}}{3-1} =2+ \sqrt{3}$

-4(x+1)+5=17 solve for x

ahrayia [7]

-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17

Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.

(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17

Combine like terms (-4 + 5).

-4x + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -4

The coefficient of 8 • 2N is _____.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

16 is the coefficient of N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression; it is usually a number, but may be any expression. In the latter case, the variables appearing in the coefficients are often called parameters, and must be clearly distinguished from the other variables. The coefficients of an algebraic term can be positive or negative, and this multiplies the unknown term.

For example:

In 2a, 2 is the coefficient of a;

In x, 1 is the coefficient of x but it is not visible;

In 2/3p, 2/3 is the coefficient of p;

In -3f, -3 is the coefficient of f;

In 3 × 6t, 18 is the coefficient of t.

Variable is a symbol, commonly a single letter, that represents a number, called the value of the variable, which is either arbitrary, not fully specified, or unknown. Making algebraic computations with variables as if they were explicit numbers allows one to solve a range of problems in a single computation. A typical example is the quadratic formula, which allows one to solve every quadratic equation by simply substituting the numeric values of the coefficients of the given equation for the variables that represent them.

So,

In 8 × 2N, 16 is the coefficient of N ( 8 × 2 = 16)

N is the variable.
