Right triangle ACB has side lengths c = 17 inches and a = 8 inches

Mathematics

Tasya [4]3 years ago

A²+b²=c²

Where a=leg, b=base, and c=hypotenuse.

So, because we are given the side lengths of c and a, we simply plug everything in, and try to find b.

a²+b²=c²

8² + b² = 17²

Simplify.

64 + b² = 289

Subtract 64 from both sides.

b² = 289 - 64

Simplify.

b² = 225

b = \sqrt{225}

So, b = 15 inches

~Hope I helped!~

Can you bisect an angle using only a compass and a straight edge​
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

bisect = dividing it into two equal parts

if you were to line the angle up with the north (or really any line of the compass), you could find the center (you could find where two lines [the same distance from north] are on equal sides of north, or you could just find the center of the angle from sight)

and with the straight edge, you could easily divide the angle into two equal halves

Solve for x.<br><br> 2/3(x−7)=−2
zaharov [31]
2/3x - 14/3 = -2
3(2/3x - 14/3) = -2(3)
           2x - 14 = -6
                   2x = -6 + 14
                   2x = 8
                     x = 8/2
                     x= 4

hope this helps :)

P = 650 is the the principal.

r = 0.09 is the interest rate in decimal form.

t = 5 is the number of years.

i = P*r*t

i = 650*0.09*5

i = 292.50 is the simple interest.
