Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length in the right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago

Answer:

it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

If 17 is the hypotenuse

c=17\\\\b=12\\\\a=?\\\\c^{2} =a^2+b^2\\\\17^2=a^2+12^2\\\\17^2-12^2=a^2\\\\(17-12)(17+12)=a^2\\\\5(27)=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{9*3*5} \\\\a=3\sqrt{15} \\\\a=11.6

if you are looking for the hypotenuse

a=17\\\\b=12\\\\c=?\\\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\17^2+12^2=c^2\\\\289+144=c^2\\\\433=c^2\\\\c=\sqrt{433} \\\\c=20.8

True [87]

Answer:

6=72 cm; 7=15 cm; 8=30 in; 9)56.5 degrees; 10)40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

6) The height of the triangle is 12 cm. The base is around 10 cm. Triangles are 1/2(b)h, so:

1/2(10)=5

5*12=60 cm

72 is closest to this.

7) Volume is l*w*h, so:

2.5*1.5=3.75

3.75*4=15 cm

8) Again, the height is 5 and the base is 12. 1/2(b)h means:

1/2(12)=6

6*5=30 in

9) All triangles have 180 degrees. So first, add the degrees you know:

33.5+90=123.5

Now, subtract that from 180:

180-123.5=56.5

10) Trapezoids can be found by multiplying the height by the smaller base, so:

6*8=40 in

Hope this helped!

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin
fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)

so that

m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)

The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).

When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and

<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7)   ==>   <em>y</em> = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.

Then

m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}

Answer: Choice A) 15 feet

=====================================

x = length of fourth side in quadrilateral ABCD

Have a look at the attached image I've posted. I made a chart that lines up the side lengths from largest to smallest. Note how the first two items in the bottom row are blank. We don't know these values and we don't need to find out in order to find x.

Based on the last two columns of that table, we can form the proportion below, which is then used to isolate x.

30/12 = x/6

30*6 = 12*x ... cross multiply

180 = 12*x

12*x = 180

x = 180/12 ... divide both sides by 12

x = 15
