Answer:

length of other leg = 20'

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One leg of triangle let it be base of triangle = 21'

Hypotenuse = 29'

To Find:

Third leg =perpendicular = ?

Solution:

Given is a right angled triangle with two of its sides given to us

We have Pythagoras theorem for right angled triangle and according to it

Pythagoras theorem is

for a right angled triangle

(hyp) ² = (perp)²+(base)²

We have the values of hyp and base

putting them in the equation we get

(29) ² = (perp) ²+(21) ²

841 = (perp) ² + 441

subtracting 441 from both sides we get

841 - 441 = (perp) ² + 441 - 441

400 =  (perp)²

or

(perp) ²=400

Taking square root of both sides

\sqrt{(perp)^{2} }=\sqrt{400}

it gives us

perp = ± 20'

As it is length and it can not be negative so

perp = 20'

or

length of other leg = 20'

A typical soda can measures 12 centimeters tall and has a volume of 235.5 cubic centimeters. To the nearest whole number, how ma
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

  228 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by ...

  V = πr²·h

Filling in the given information, we can solve for r:

  235.5 = π·r²·12

  √(235.5/(12π)) = r ≈ 2.49937 . . . . cm

The area of a cylinder is given by ...

  A = 2πr² + 2πrh = 2πr(r +h)

Filling in the radius and height, we can find the area to be ...

  A = 2π·2.49937·(2.49937 +12) ≈ 227.698 . . . . cm²

About 228 cm² of aluminum are required to make a typical soda can.

Find the value of this fraction computation: 6(1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4) Show the steps.
Marta_Voda [28]

6(1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4)

= 6(1/2) + 6(2/3) + 6(3/4)

= 3 + 4 + 4 1/2

= 11 1/2

Answer

11 1/2  (23/2 or 11.5)

PLEASEEEEE HELPPPP MEEEEEEE BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST ANSWER AND 30 POINTS
icang [17]

Answer:

CD ≠ EF

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2    }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = C(- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(- 1, 1)

CD = \sqrt{(-1+2)^2+(1-5)^2}

      = \sqrt{1^2+(-4)^2}

      = \sqrt{1+16} = \sqrt{17}

Repeat using (x₁, y₁ ) = E(- 4, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = F(- 1, - 1)

EF = \sqrt{(- 1+4)^2+(-1+3)^2}

     = \sqrt{3^2+2^2}

     = \sqrt{9+4} = \sqrt{13}

Since \sqrt{17} ≈ \sqrt{13} , then CD and EF are not congruent
