Find the length of the leg of the right triangle leave your answer in simplest form?

Mathematics

Answer:

a =12*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +21^2 = 27^2

a^2 +441 =729

Subtract 441 from each side

a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441

a^2 =288

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)

sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)

a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)

a =12*sqrt(2)

Consider m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 . Which x1 and x2-values would determine that the line is vertical? Justify your answer
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

x_2=x_1

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the slope formula;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

This line is vertical if the denominator is zero.

That is when x_2-x-1=0

This implies that;

x_2=x_1

Justification;

When x_2=x_1, then, the line passes through;

(x_1,y_1)  and (x_1,y_2)

The slope now become

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_1-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}

The equation of the line is

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}(x-x_1)

This implies that;

0(y-y_1)=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)

0=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)

\frac{0}{y_2-y_1}=(x-x_1)

0=(x-x_1)

x=x_1... This is the equation of a vertical line.

Answer:

|x   y   1|

|7  -3   1| = 0

|4  -8   1|

x*(-3*1 - (-8)*1) - y*(7*1 - 4*1) + 1*(7*-8 - 4*-3) = 0

What is the GCF of 48m5n and 81m2n2?
Lady bird [3.3K]
To find the GCF of the two terms, continuous division must be done.
What can be used to divide both terms such that there is not a remainder?
Start small, let's take 2. It could be a GCF.
Move up higher, say 3. Yes, it can be a GCF.
To see if there might be a greater common factor, divide the constants by 3.
48/3 = 16
81/3 = 27
Upon inspection and contemplation, there is no more common factor between 16 and 27. So, 3 is the GCF.

Moving on, when it comes to variables. The variable with the least exponents is easily the GCF. For the variable m, the GCF is m2 and for n, the GCF is n.

Combining the three, we have the overall GCF = 3m2n
