Find the exact length of the third side. 51

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

The legs of the triangle are put into either a or b and the hypotenuse is put into c. In this case, they've already given you the hypotenuse, but now you need to find the leg:

45^{2} + b^{2} = 51^{2}

2025 + b^{2} = 2601

<em><u>Subtract 2025 from both sides:</u></em>

2025 + b^{2} = 2601

-2025       -2025

_____________

b^{2} = 576

<em><u>Square root:</u></em>

\sqrt{b^{2} } = \sqrt{576}

b = 24

Triangle QRS has been translated to create triangle Q'R'S'. RS= R'S' = 10 units, angles Q and Q' are both 90 degrees. Which post
RSB [31]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

HL

Explanation:

These will both be right triangles, as angle Q and angle Q' are both 90 degrees.

Since Q and Q' are the right angles, this means that RS and R'S' are the hypotenuses of the two right triangles.

Since Q'R'S' was created by translating QRS, a corresponding leg of both triangles will be congruent; this gives us hypotenuse-leg, or HL.

Suppose that there are six universities and each will produce five mathematics Ph.D.s this year, and there are five colleges tha
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

No. If a collegue hire 7 math Ph.D.s, at least 2 will be from the same university.

The only way to have a job for all of them is that all colleges hire 6 math Ph.D.s, one from each university.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the condition is that <em>no college will hire more than one Ph.D. from any given university, </em>no college can hire more than 6 math Ph.D.s, as there are only 6 universities to choose from. If they hire seven, they have to repeat some university, violating the condition.

Then, the only way to have a job for all of them is that all colleges hire 6 math Ph.D.s, one from each university.

Is -0.75 bigger or less than -0.4?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Because they are both negative that means they are on the left side so -0.4 is closer to the 0 so less.
