Length of the base = 8
Length of the hypotenuse = 17

The length of the third side ''
".


Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²
+ (8)² = (17)²
+ 64 = 289
= 289 - 64
= 225
= 
= 
Therefore, the length of the missing side
is
.

(15)² + (8)² = (17)²
225 + 64 = 289
289 = 289
L.H.S. = R. H. S.
Hence verified.

Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify something that looks like
you would multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom. So you multiply the top and bottom for this problem I just made by:
.
If you had
, then you would multiply top and bottom the conjugate of
which is
.
The conjugate of a+b is a-b.
These have a term for it because when you multiply them something special happens. The middle terms cancel so you only have to really multiply the first terms and the last terms.
Let's see:
(a+b)(a-b)
I'm going to use foil:
First: a(a)=a^2
Outer: a(-b)=-ab
Inner: b(a)=ab
Last: b(-b)=-b^2
--------------------------Adding.
a^2-b^2
See -ab+ab canceled so all you had to do was the "first" and "last" of foil.
This would get rid of square roots if a and b had them because they are being squared.
Anyways the conjugate of
is
.
This is the thing we are multiplying and top and bottom.
Answer:
x = 68
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the triangle properly, it is a isosceles triangle where two legs are equal to each other.
The answer for x will be:
56 + 56 + x =180
112 + x = 180
x = 68
Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is

That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;

This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
