Find the length of XY

Mathematics

Since this is a right triangle, you can use the pythagorean theorem, leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2, to find XY. Since we know that 15 and 17 are our legs and that XY is the hypotenuse, we can solve it as such:

15^2+17^2=XY^2\\ 225+289=XY^2\\ 514=XY^2\\ \sqrt{514}=XY

In short, XY is √514, or 22.67 rounded to the hundreths, units long.

Answer:

Therefore the length of XY (the hypotenuse) is 2.26

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a rectangle triangle, so we can use the Pythagoras theorem which tells us that h² = side1²  + side2² where h = hypotenuse

In this picture we are missing the hypotenuse and we have <u>side1 = 1.5 and side 2 = 1.7</u>

<u />

So we are going to substitute in the formula and solve for h

h^{2} =side1^{2}  + side2^{2} \\h^{2} = 1.5^{2} +1.7^{2} \\h^{2} = 2.25 + 2.89\\h^{2} = 5.14\\h=\sqrt{5.14} \\h= 2.26

Thus h = 2.26

Answer:

option a)

y = m(0.5) + 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

<h3>y = mx + c</h3>

represent the equation of straight line

here m = gradient of straight line

         c = y-intercept

First find the gradient of the graph

<h3>m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1</h3>

    = 4 - 3 / 4 - 2

    = 1 / 2

Put the values in the equation of straight line

y =mx + c

4 = 1/2(4) + c

c = 2

y = 1/2x + 2

which is approximately equal to y = 0.5x + 1.8
