Answer:

The length of the other leg of the triangle is \sqrt{39} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem  says that: <em>If a and b are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse, then the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. </em>

This relationship is represented by the formula:

                                                 a^2+b^2=c^2

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the legs and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

From the information given we know that one leg is 5 units and the hypotenuse is 8 units.

Applying the above formula and solving for <em>b</em> we get that

5^2+b^2=8^2\\\\5^2+b^2-5^2=8^2-5^2\\\\b^2=39\\\\b=\sqrt{39}

A town's population has been growing linearly. In 2003 the population was 47,000. The population has been growing by 1200 people
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The population in 2003= 47000

Since the population increase by 1200 every year,

in 2004 the population will be 47000+1200

in 2005 the population will be 47000+(1200+1200) which is the same as

47000+2(1200) where 2 is 2 years after 2003,

Therefore the population x years after 2003 is 47000+x(1200).

P= 47000+1200x

b) The population at 2009 which is 6 years after 2003 will be

47000+(1200)*6=47000+7200= 54200

The population at 2009 is 54200,

Jeremy is reading a 60-page book.

The time taken to read  20 pages is 30 minutes

Then it can be written as 20:30 = 2:3

The rate of reading is same so To read the rest 40 pages is given by

40:x

40: x = 2:3

40*3/2 = x

x = 60 minutes

Therefore it will take total 90 minutes to finish the book and 60 minutes to read the left 40 pages.
