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!~

17 points if you know. Help please
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 153 and QRP are straight angles, and thus Angle QRP is

180 - 153, or 27 degrees.

The interior angles of the triangle must sum up to 180 degrees:

27 + (3y + 5) + (2y - 7) = 180.

combining like terms, we get:

5y - 25 = 180, or 5y = 155, or y = 31

Then Angle Q is 3(31) + 5, or 93

Angle P is 2(31) - 7, or 55, and

Angle QRP is 27 degrees (found earlier).

Y = -4/3x − 1<br> y = 1/3x + 4
Tom [10]

Answer:

x = -3, y =3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4/3x - 1

y = 1/3x + 4 -------> 4y = 4/3x + 16

Adding the first equation and the new second equation together:

5y = 15 ------> y = 3

Plug y = 3 into one of the original equations:

3 = 1/3x + 4

-1 = 1/3x

x = -3

Find the sum of each group of numbers. You may add the numbers in any order. Then, check your work by adding the numbers again i
Len [333]
The sum of each group of numbers are as follows:
1. 110 + 83 + 328 = 521
2. 92 + 37 + 14  + 66 = 209
3. 432 + 11 + 157 + 30 = 630
It does not matter how much you re-arrange the numbers in each group, you will keep arriving at the same answers, this is because the sum of a particular set of numbers will always remain the same.
