Answer:

<h2>15 units</h2>

The length of BC is 15 units.

Solution,

Hypotenuse(h)=?

perpendicular(p)=12

base(b)=9

Using Pythagoras theorem,

${h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ or \: {h}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {9}^{2} \\ or \: {h}^{2} = 12 \times 12 + 9 \times 9 \\ or \: {h}^{2} = 144 + 81 \\ or \: {h}^{2} = 225 \\ or \: h = \sqrt{225} \\ or \: h = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} } \\ h = 15$

hope this helps...

As we know that the standard equation of circle is ${\bf{(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}}}$ , where r is the radius of circle and centre at (h,k) 

Now , as the circle passes through (2,9) so it must satisfy the above equation after putting the values of h and k respectively

${:\implies \quad \sf \{2-(-1)\}^{2}+(9-5)^{2}=r^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf (3)^{2}+(4)^{2}=r^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf 9+16=r^{2}}$

After raising ½ power to both sides , we will get r = +5 , -5 , but as radius can never be -ve . So r = +5 

Now , putting values in our standard equation ;

${:\implies \quad \sf \{x-(-1)\}^{2}+(y-5)^{2}=(5)^{2}}$

${:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{(x+1)^{2}+(y-5)^{2}=25}}}$

This is the required equation of Circle

Arrange these numbers in increasing order: 216,000,000, 2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power, 3.1 × 10 to the 7th power, 310,000

ziro4ka [17]

216,000,000
2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power = 2.2 * 10^3 = 2,200
3.1 × 10 to the 7th power = 3.1 * 10^7 = 31,000,000
310,000

Increasing order:
2,200 , 310,000 , 216,000,000 , 31,000,000

So increasing order with original numbers:
2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power, 310,000, 216,000,000, 3.1 × 10 to the 7th power
