A right triangle. If AC = 7 and BC = 8, find AB. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

Mathematics

We don't know whether those two sides are both legs
of the right triangle, or if  BC  is the hypotenuse.

If  AC  and  BC  are both legs, then

           AB = √ (AC² + BC²)
                 =  √ (7² + 8²)
                 =  √ (49 + 64)  =  √ 113 .

If  BC  is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, then

           AB = √ (BC² - AC²)
                 =  √ (8² - 7²)
                 =  √ (64 - 49)  =  √ 15 .

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 90 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

approximately 27 grams

Work Shown:

Half life formula

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

where,

A = starting amount = 30 grams

H = half life period = 90 years

x = number of years that pass by = 12

y = amount left over after x years

Let's plug the values for x, A and H into the formula to find y

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

y = 30*(0.5)^(12/90)

y = 27.3516746567466

y = 27 .... rounding to the nearest whole number

Scrat [10]

Answer: D= 12/37

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sin of angle A, you take the opposite angle over the hypotenuse. 12 is opposite of A and 37is the hypotenuse.

Help with my algebra homework
Maru [420]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x /5 + 3 = x/10 - 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x /5 + 3 =  x/10 - 1

2/5x + 3 = 1/10x - 1

Step 2: Subtract 1/10x from both sides.

2/5x + 3 - 1/10x = 1/10x - 1 - 1/10x

3/10x + 3 = -1

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

3 /10x + 3 - 3 = -1 - 3

3/10x = -4

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 10/3.

(10/3) * (3/10x) = (10/3) * (-4)

x = -40/3

Light in vacuum is incident on the surface of a slab of transparent material. In the vacuum the beam makes an angle of 43.8° wit
REY [17]

Answer:

Index of refraction of transparent is 1.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Snell's law states that;

n1(sinθ1) = n2(sinθ2)

Where;

n1 and n2 represent the indices of refraction for the two media, and θ1 and θ2 are the angles of incidence and refraction that the ray R makes with the normal.

In this question;

n1 = 1;

θ1 = 43.8°

θ2 = 19.3°

n2 is unknown.

Thus using Snell's law, we have;

1 x sin 43.8 = n2 x sin 19.3

n2 = (sin 43.8)/sin 19.3

n2 = 1.48
