Answer: B. 15.

Explanation: A right triangle is a triangle that contains one right angle. The sides that make up the right angle are the legs, and the sides opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, c.

Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

2²+12²=c²

2²=2*2=4

12²=12*12=144

4+144=c²

c²=225

C=15 ←← *Final Answer (correct)!*

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Let c be the hypotenuse
so by pythagoras theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
2^2+12^2=c^2
4+144=c^2
C^2=225
C=15

Find the solutions to the equation below. Check all that apply. 4x2 + 4x + 1 = 0

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The solution for the given polynomial $4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0$ is $x = (\frac{-1}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given quadratic equation is : $4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0$

Now, here solving the given equation by SPLITTING THE MIDDLE TERM:

$4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0 = 4x^2 + 2x+ 2x + 1 = 0\\\implies 2x( 2x + 1) + 1(2x + 1) = 0\\\implies (2x +1)(2x +1) = 0\\$

⇒ either (2x+1) = 0, or ( 2x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = -1/2 or x = -1/2

Here, in both the cases, the value of x is equal i.e x = -1/2

So, the given function has TWO IDENTICAL ROOTS.

Hence the solution for the given polynomial $4x^2 + 4x+ 1 = 0$ is $x = (\frac{-1}{2})$

Answer:

2. 3.913 kg (3 dp)

3. light cream

4. 240 CoffeeStops

5. 7 CoffeeStops per square mile

6. 2,861 cups of coffee each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Skim milk density at 20 °C = 1.033 kg/l
Light cream density at 20 °C = 1.012 kg/l
1 liter = 0.264 gallons

Question 2

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{1 gallon} & = \sf \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:liters\\\\\implies \textsf{Mass (1 gallon of skim milk)} & = \sf Density \times Volume\\& = \sf 1.033\:kg/l \times \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:l\\& = \sf 3.913\:kg\:(3\:dp)\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the mass of 1 gallon of skim milk is 3.913 kg (3 dp)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 3

Given:

Volume of liquid = 9 liters
Mass of liquid = 9.108 kg

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Density & = \sf \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{9.108\:kg}{9\:l}\\\\& = \sf 1.012\:kg/l \end{alilgned}$

Therefore, the container holds light cream.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 4

Given:

15 CoffeeStops per 100,000 people
Population of Manhattan ≈ 1,602,000 people

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Number of Coffeestops} & = \sf \dfrac{population}{density}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000/15}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000} \times 15\\\\& = \sf 240.3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, there are 240 CoffeeStops.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 5

Given

Manhattan ≈ 34 square miles

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{CoffeeStops density} & = \sf \dfrac{number\:of\:stores}{land\:area}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{240}{34}\\\\& \approx \sf 7 \: \textsf{CoffeeStops per square mile}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the density of CoffeeStops is 7 per square mile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 6

Given:

Each person buys 3 cups of coffee per week

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served each week} & = \textsf{number of people} \times \textsf{number of cups per week}\\& = \sf 1,602,000 \times 3\\& = \sf 4,806,000\: \textsf{cups per week}\\\\\implies \textsf{Cups per day} & = \sf \dfrac{\textsf{cups per week}}{\textsf{days in a week}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{4,806,000}{7}\\\\& = \sf 686,571\:\textsf{(nearest whole number)}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served per day per shop} & = \dfrac{\textsf{cups per day}}{\textsf{number of shops}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{686,571}{240}\\\\& = \sf 2,861\: \textsf{(nearest whole number)} \end{aligned}$

Therefore, each Manhattan CoffeeStop serves approximately 2,861 cups of coffee each day.

2. In the diagram below, set I represents rational numbers, set II represents integers, and set III represents whole numbers. Sh

MrRa [10]

The information about the rational numbers and integers shows that the correct option is C.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that rational numbers are numbers where we can write as a fraction of two integers. Any rational number is in the form a/b where a,b are integers and b is nonzero.

Terminating decimals can be written as a rational number. Something like 3.1 is equivalent to 31/10.

Of the four answer choices, only choice C is correct.

Choice A has the value '3' as a rational number, but it doesn't have it in the set of integers as well. So that's why choice A is incorrect.

Choice B has -3.4 in the set of integers, which is not correct. Integers do not have any decimal portion. The same applies to choice D also. We can rule choices B and D out.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

At a bargain store, Tanya bought 3 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 4 items that each cost the same amount, but

babunello [35]

If x is the amount that Tanya paid for each item, then Tony's items would be x-2.25. So:
3x=4(x-2.25)

3x=4x-9
x=9
x-2.25=6.75
Tanya spent $9 on each item; Tony spent $6.75 on each of his items
