Answer:

Short leg is 9.

Hypotenuse is  41.

Long leg is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shortest leg  is x.

Hypotenuse is (4x + 5).

Longer leg is shorter than hypotenuse, and they are consecutive numbers,

so longer leg is (4x + 5 - 1) = (4x + 4).

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (4x + 4)² = (4x + 5)²

x² + 16x² + 2*4x*4 + 4² = 16x² + 2*4x*5 + 5²

x² + 32x + 16 = 40x + 25

(x - 4)² = 5²

x - 4 = 5 or  x - 4 = - 5

x = 9 , or x = - 1

Leg cannot be negative.

So, short leg is 9.

Hypotenuse (4x+5) = (4*9 + 5) = 41

Long leg is 41 - 1 = 40

Check:

9² + 40² = 41²

Y varies directly as x . If y is 2 when x is 8, then the constant of variation is 1/4 . True or False
dedylja [7]

When y = 2, x = 8.

This can be written as: 2/8.

Simplified: 1/4

True

Answer:

V ≈ 1847.26

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Circular Cone Formulas in terms of radius r and height h:</u>

The volume of a cone:

V = (1/3)πr2h

Slant height of a cone:

s = √(r2 + h2)

Lateral surface area of a cone:

L = πrs = πr√(r2 + h2)

The base surface area of a cone (a circle):

B = πr2

The total surface area of a cone:

A = L + B = πrs + πr2 = πr(s + r) = πr(r + √(r2 + h2))

Therefore, the solution V = πr 2h / 3 = π·142·9/  3 ≈ 1847.25648

A group of dental researchers are testing the effects of acidic drinks on dental crowns. They have five containers of crowns lab
mestny [16]

Answer:

\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {V} & {W} & {X} & {Y} & {Z} & P(x) & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} \ \end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S = \{V,W,X,Y,Z\}

n(S) = 5

Required

The probability model

To do this, we simply calculate the probability of each container.

So, we have:

P(V) = \frac{n(V)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20

P(W) = \frac{n(W)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20

P(X) = \frac{n(X)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20

P(Y) = \frac{n(Y)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20

P(Z) = \frac{n(Z)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20

So, the probability model is:

\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {V} & {W} & {X} & {Y} & {Z} & P(x) & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} \ \end{array}
