The length of EF in the right triangle

Mathematics
2 answers:
LiRa [457]3 years ago

In order to find the sides of a right triangle, you can use the pythagorean theorem. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The pythagorean theorem basically means that the square of two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side of a triangle)

In this case, we already have 'a' and 'c', but not 'b'.

12^2 + b^2 = 19^2

Mutliply everything:

144 + b^2 = 361

Isolate b into one side by subtracting both sides by 144:

b^2 = 217

Square root both sides in order to completely isolate b:

b = \sqrt{217}

The answer is Option F

Good luck!

Answer:

F.

\sqrt{217}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

c represents the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the right triangle. c in this case would be 19.

Side a can be represented as 12 since it is the other side that has a given value.

Substitute in the values to get the equation: (12)^2 + b^2 = (19)^2

12 squared is 144 and 19 squared is 361. To figure out what b^2 is subtract 361 - 144 to isolate the variable. We will be left with b^2 = 217.

In order to find what b is, find the square root of 217, which is Choice F.

What is the quotient? URGENT!!
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply by converting the second fraction into upside down :

\frac{4x + 1}{6x}  \div  \frac{x}{3x - 1}

=  \frac{4x + 1}{6x}  \times  \frac{3x  -  1}{x}

=  \frac{(4x + 1)(3x - 1)}{x(6x)}

=  \frac{12 {x}^{2}   -  4x + 3x - 1}{6 {x}^{2} }

=  \frac{12 {x}^{2} - x - 1 }{6 {x}^{2} }

7) A real number that is less than zero. These represent opposites.
enot [183]

Answer:

A negative number

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this is right. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left.In the context of negative numbers, a number that is greater than zero is referred to as positive. Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.
