Answer:

the other leg of the right triangle is, 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem;

\text{Hypotenuse side}^2 = \text{Shorter side}^2 +\text{Longer side}^2

As per the statement:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 cm, and the shorter leg is 9 cm

⇒Hypotenuse side = 15 cm and shorter leg = 9 cm

Let x be the other or longer side

Substitute these in above formula we have;

15^2 = 9^2+ x^2

⇒225 = 81 +x^2

Subtract 81 from both sides we have;

144 = x^2

⇒x = \sqrt{144} = 12 cm

therefore, the other leg of the right triangle is, 12 cm

12 cm, use the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
9^2+b^2=15^2
81+b^2=225
b^2=144
b=12
12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>—Math</h2>

√(x+3) –4 = 1

√(x+3) = 1 +4

√(x+3) = 5

x + 3 = 5²

x = 25 –3

x = 22

Average Temperatures Suppose the temperature (degrees F) in a river at a point x meters downstream from a factory that is discha
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Temperatures Suppose the temperature (degrees F) in a river at a point x meters downstream from a factory that is discharging hot water into the river is given by

T(x) = 160-0.05x^2

a. [0, 10]

For x = 0

T(0) = 160 - 0.05 × 0^2

T(0) = 160

For x = 10

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 10^2

T(10) = 160 - 5 = 155

The average temperature

= (160 + 155)/2 = 157.5

b. [10, 40]

For x = 10

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 10^2

T(10) = 160 - 5 = 155

For x = 40

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 40^2

T(10) = 160 - 80 = 80

The average temperature

= (80 + 155)/2 = 117.5

c. [0, 40]

For x = 0

T(0) = 160 - 0.05 × 0^2

T(0) = 160

For x = 40

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 40^2

T(10) = 160 - 80 = 80

The average temperature

= (160 + 80)/2 = 120
