In centimeters, what is the unknown length in this right triangle
2 answers:
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
c = 61
61² = 61 × 61 = 3,721
b = 60
60² = 60 × 60 = 3,600
3,721 - 3,600 = 121
= 11
x = 11
Answer:
11
Explanation:
(next time, it would be helpful to include a picture)
If you were on the same test as I was, than that means that the triangle you're looking for is the one below.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem,
a² + b² = c² is the same as c² - b² = a²
c = 61
61^2 = 61 X 61 = 3,721
b = 60
60^2 = 60 X 60 = 3,600
Next, we subtract:
3,721 - 3,600 = 121
√121 = 11
(x = 11 cm)
so 11 is your answer

The given pair of lines are not perpendicular.
<h3>What is a line?</h3>The line is a curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.
5x - 5y = -2 - - - - - (1)
Transform the equation into standard form,
5x + 2 = 5y
y = 5x /5 + 2/5
y = x + 2/5
The slope of equation 1 is and intercept c = 2 / 5
Similarly
x + 2y = 4 - - - - - - - -(2)
Transform it into standard form
y = -x/2 + 4 /2
y = -x / 2 + 2
Slope of the equation 2 = -1 / 2 and intercept c = 2
Slope of line 1 * slope of line 2 = 1 * -1/2 = -1/2
Since the lines are not perpendicular because the pair of lines does not satisfy the property of perpendicular lines i.e
Thus, the given pair of lines are not perpendicular.
