15^2+x^2=17^2
225+x^2=289
289-225=64
x^2=64
x=8

Hypotneuse² = leg²+leg²

17² = x²+15²

x² = 289-225

x = √64

x = 8

Kylie needs to pack her baton for a color-guard competition. The baton is 38 inches long. Will it fit in a rectangular box with
poizon [28]

Answer:

The diagonal is 39.54 in

Step-by-step explanation:

First we use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the diagonal of the base.

If the base measures 13 inches by 35 inches then the diagonal is:

c = \sqrt{13^2 +35^2}\\\\c= 37.34\ in

Now we use the Pythagorean theorem again to find the diagonal of the cube.

If the height of the box is 13 inches and the diagonal of the base is 37.34 inches then the diagonal of the cube will be

z = \sqrt{37.34^2 +13^2}\\\\z= 39.54\ in

The baton will fit in the box if it is placed in the direction of the diagonal of the cube, since:

39.54\ in > 38 inches

Cual es la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto (2;-1/2) y tiene de pendiente m=-2/3
timama [110]

Answer:

y = (-2/3)x + 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. You have been given the value of "m". To find the value of "b", you can plug the slope and the values from the point (2, -1/2) into the general equation.

m = -2/3

Point (2, -1/2):

x = 2 and y = -1/2

y = mx + b                                  <----- Slope-intercept form

y = (-2/3)x + b                            <----- Insert -2/3 in "m"

-1/2 = (-2/3)(2) + b                      <----- Insert "x" and "y" values from point

-1/2 = -4/3 + b                            <----- Multiply -2/3 and 2

-3/6 = -8/6 + b                           <----- Give the fractions common denominators

5/6 = b                                      <----- Add 8/6 to both sides

Thus, the equation of the line is:

y = (-2/3)x + 5/6
