A right triangle has a perimeter of 24 cm and a hypotenuse of 10 cm. Find the length of the other two sides.

jekas [21]

Answer:

One of the sides is 6 cm and the other is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown sides a and b. From the perimeter information (24 cm) we have:

a + b + hypotenuse = 24

a + b + 10 = 24

a + b = 14

b = 14 - a

So now we can right the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

$a^2 + b^2 = hypotenuse^2\\a^2 + (14-a)^2=10^2\\a^2+ 14^2-28\,a+a^2=100\\2\,a^2-28\,a +96=0\\2\,(a^2-14\,a+48)=0\\2\,(a^2-6\,a-8\,a+48)=0\\2(a\,(a-6)-8\,(a-6))=0\\2\,(a-6)\,(a-8)=0$

and from this expression in factor form to be zero a must be 6 or a must be 8.

Therefore the solutions are a = 6 (and therefore b = 14 - 6 = 8)

or a = 8 (and therefore b = 14 - 8 = 6)

A cylinder shaped can needs to be constructed to hold 400 cubic centimeters of soup. The material for the sides of the can costs

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The dimensions of the can that will minimize the cost are a Radius of 3.17cm and a Height of 12.67cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the Cylinder=400 cm³

Volume of a Cylinder=πr²h

Therefore: πr²h=400

$h=\frac{400}{\pi r^2}$

Total Surface Area of a Cylinder=2πr²+2πrh

Cost of the materials for the Top and Bottom=0.06 cents per square centimeter

Cost of the materials for the sides=0.03 cents per square centimeter

Cost of the Cylinder=0.06(2πr²)+0.03(2πrh)

C=0.12πr²+0.06πrh

Recall: $h=\frac{400}{\pi r^2}$

Therefore:

$C(r)=0.12\pi r^2+0.06 \pi r(\frac{400}{\pi r^2})$

$C(r)=0.12\pi r^2+\frac{24}{r}$

$C(r)=\frac{0.12\pi r^3+24}{r}$

The minimum cost occurs when the derivative of the Cost =0.

$C^{'}(r)=\frac{6\pi r^3-600}{25r^2}$

$6\pi r^3-600=0$

$6\pi r^3=600$

$\pi r^3=100$

$r^3=\frac{100}{\pi}$

$r^3=31.83$

r=3.17 cm

Recall that:

$h=\frac{400}{\pi r^2}$

$h=\frac{400}{\pi *3.17^2}$

h=12.67cm

The dimensions of the can that will minimize the cost are a Radius of 3.17cm and a Height of 12.67cm.

HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

b = 77

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

36² + b² = 85²

1296 + b² = 7225

b² = 7225 - 1296

b² = 5929

$\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{5929}$

b = 77
