The height of a triangle is 9, the length is 5, what is the third side?

1 answer:

5 0

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the third side. The third side must be the hypotenuse since the height (vertical leg) is 9, and the length (horizontal leg) is 5.

a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. Plug in 5 and 9 for a and b; solve for c.

5² + 9² = c² ⇒ 25 + 81 = c²

106 = c²

Square root both sides.

c = 10.3

Third side: 10.3

Which equations below represent lines that are perpendicular to the line that contains (1, - 2) and (3,4)^ Select all that apply

Nady [450]

Answer:

Select all the lines with slope $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slopes to help you answer this kind of questions.

The slope of the line going through: (1, - 2) and (3,4) is given by:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We plug in the coordinates to get:

$m=\frac{4--2}{3-1}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

All lines that are perpendicular to this line has slope $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

I need help with Standard Deviation!

Naily [24]

<span>A: The middle 95% contain between 23.8 and 24.2 oz.(2 SDs under and over the mean) B: Approximately 68% of boxes have between 23.9 and 24.1 oz of cereal (1 SD under and over the mean) C: 2.5% of boxes contain more than 24.2, because 95% are within 2 SDs, and that includes lower and higher extremes. D: 16% of boxes have more than 24.1, because 68% are within 1 SD of the mean, so 32 are left, and that includes lower and higher extremes.</span>
