Use the Pythagorean theorem; substitute the measurement of the leg into either a or b, and substitute the value of the hypotenuse into c.

The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse; algebraically,

a²+b² = c².

To find the measure of the unknown leg, we substitute the information we know; the known leg will be either a or b (it does not matter which), and the hypotenuse will be c.

Answer:

plug it into the pythagorean theorem formula

Step-by-step explanation:

since the pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2, you have to plug in the lengths of the leg and the hypotenuse to the formula. If you were trying to find a, you would plug in the second leg into b and the hypotenuse into c. so if for example you needed to find a and the second leg was 2 inches while the hypotenuse was 5 inches, the formula would be a^2+2^2=5^2. then solve it like a regular equation, so a^2+4+25, a^2=21, and you would do the square root of that answer. hope that helped.

6 times the sum of 3 consecutive odd intergers is -18
Lyrx [107]
The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1"; 
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ;  to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ;  x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.  We know that "x = -3".
         Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.  So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
        Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
       Is this an odd integer? Yes!  Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?

The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.

6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

Write the equation of this line from the table provided.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

y=2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are supposed to write the equation in slope-intercept format, (y=mx+b), then y=2x-1 would be the answer. 2 is the slope(m), and -1 is the y-intercept(b). I hope thus helped :).

Which best explains whether point G can be the centroid?
wariber [46]
The answer is C.
Point G can be centroid because 12:6 equals 2:1

FG = 6
FC = 18
so
GC = 12

12:6 = 2:1

Helpppp me please!!!!
harina [27]
Hey there, again! :D

Since the angle measuring 38 degrees is adjacent to m<1, it will equal 180 degrees. 

180-38= 142

m<1= 142 degrees 

I hope this helps!
