The pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with c^2 being the hypotenuse (or longest side).

So a^2 + b^2 = 26

Since we're dealing with a triangle that was cut from a square, we also know that sides a and b are the same length. So, we can simplify our equation:

2a^2 = 26

Next, try to get a by itself, first by dividing both sides by 2 and then taking the square root of both sides:

a^2 = 13
a = the square root of 13

So, the side length of each piece will be the square root of 13 (approximately 3.5 inches).

Which of the following best describes the best equation below?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Not Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable y is 1 and the degree of variable x is 3.

15 POINTS!!!!!!! What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? Line on a coordinate plane. Line runs through points
suter [353]

Answer:

y=\frac{4}{3}x+4 is the equation of line in slope intercept form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line runs through points begin ordered pair negative 3 comma 0 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 0 comma 4.

First ordered pair: (-3,0)

Second ordered pair: (0,4)

We have two points and need to find equation of line in slope intercept form

\text{Slope (m)}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\text{Slope (m)}=\dfrac{4-0}{0-(-3)}=\dfrac{4}{3}

y-intercept, when x=0 , (0,4)

Equation of line in slope intercept form:

y=mx+b

where, m=\frac{4}{3} and b=4

Required equation:

y=\frac{4}{3}x+4

Thus, y=\frac{4}{3}x+4 is the equation of line in slope intercept form.
