Answer:

AC= h = 3.2\ m  

AB= b = 1.1\ m

BC= p = 3\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the one side of a right angle triangle.

Given:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1 meter longer than twice the length of one leg, and the length of the other leg measure 3 meters.

Length of one leg b = x

So length of the hypotenuse h = 2x + 1

Length of other leg p = 3 m

We need to find the length of each unknown side.

Solution.

From the figure h is the length of the hypotenuse AC and b, p is length of the legs AB and BC

Using Pythagoras theorem.

(AC)^{2} = (AB)^{2}+(BC)^{2}

h^{2} = (b)^{2}+(p)^{2}

Substitute all given value in above equation and then simplify.

(2x+1)^{2} = x^{2}+(3)^{2}

4x^{2}+1+4x= x^{2}+9

4x^{2}-x^{2}-9+1+4x= 0

3x^{2}+4x-8 = 0

Now, we first find the root of the above equation.

Use quadratic formula with a=3, b=4, c=-8.

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

Put a, b and c value in above equation.

x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{(4)^{2}-4(3)(-8)}}{2(3)}

x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{16+96}}{6}

x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{112}}{6}

x=\frac{-4\pm 4\sqrt{7}}{6}

For positive sign

x = 1.1 m

So the length of the hypotenuse h = 2x+1  

h = 2\times 1.1+1  

h = 2.2+1

h = 3.2\ m

Therefore, the length of the each side of the right angle triangle is given below.

AC= h = 3.2\ m  

AB= b = 1.1\ m

BC= p = 3\ m

Karolina [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that he has sold 40% then he still has to sell (100 - 40)% = 60%

60% of 70

= \frac{60}{100} × 70 = 0.6 × 70 = 42 → C

larisa [96]

Answer: a) (0.99)^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : For safety reasons, four different alarm systems were installed in the vault containing the safety deposit boxes at a Beverly Hills bank.

Each of the four systems detects theft with a probability of .99 independently of the others .

Probability for independent events (E_1 , E_2 , E_3 , ....., E_n) occurs together =  P(E_1)\times P(E_2)\times P(E_3)\ .....\times P(E_n).

Then, the probability that when a theft occurs, all four systems will detect it

= (0.99) x (0.99) x (0.99) x (0.99)

= (0.99)^4

Hence, the probability that when a theft occurs, all four systems will detect it is (0.99)^4 .

Hence, the correct answer is a) (0.99)^4 .

f(x)=(2x−1)(3x+5)(x+1) has zeros at x= -5/3, x= -1 and x= 1/2 What is the sign of f on the interval -5/3
Crazy boy [7]

The sign of f on the interval -5/3 is negative

<h3>How to determine the sign?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x)=(2x−1)(3x+5)(x+1)

The zeros of the function are

x= -5/3, x= -1 and x= 1/2

Next, we plot the graph of the function

At x = -5/3, the function approaches negative infinity

This means that the sign of f on the interval -5/3 is negative
