Answer:

b =21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

20^2 + b^2 = 29^1

400 + b^2 =841

Subtract 400 from each side

b^2 = 441

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)

b =21

Answer:

b = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so solving this is actually really simple.

We need to use the Pythageorum Theorum formula which is $a^2+b^2=c^2$ .

So we already know the c and b which are 29 and 20 and we are trying to find b or a in the formula so.

We have to plug the numbers 29 and 20 into the formula and do the steps which is to sqaure them. So 29 and 20 squared are 841 and 400.

So we have to plug those numbers into the formula and it looks like this now $a^2+400=841$ . So now we have to get a squared alone and to do tha we subtract 400 from 841 which is 441. So now to find a we have to find the square root of a and 441 which is a and 21 so b is 21.

reflect (7,4) across the x-axis then reflect the result across the y-axis what are the coordinates of the final point

Andrews [41]

The coordinates of the final point after the two reflections is (-7, -4)

<h3>How to reflect a point across an axis?</h3>

For a point (x, y), a reflection across the x-axis gives the point (x, -y), while for a point (x, y) a reflection across the y-axis gives (-x, y).

In this case, we have the point (7, 4), first we reflect across the x-axis, so we get the point (-7, 4).

Now we reflect across the y-axis, so the sign of the y-component changes, and we get (-7, -4)

So the coordinates of the final point after the two reflections is (-7, -4).

Which of the following statements is not true of deductive reasoning? It is used when you solve an equation in algebra. It is us

erastova [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

"It is used when you solve an equation in algebra" is the untrue statement.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

"It is used when you solve an equation in algebra."

When you solve an algebra problem, you are not using deductive reasoning. You are using the information in front of you to correctly answer.

"It is used to make broad generalizations using specific observations."

This is exactly what deductive reasoning is, you are making generalizations and coming up with your own conclusions through observation.

"It is used to prove basic theorems."

This is also true, you can use deductive reasoning by using your specific observations and drawing conclusions to prove the theorems.

"It is used to prove that statements are true."

Using your own observations, you can draw your own conclusions to prove what you are saying is factual.

Help me please i dont understand

ELEN [110]

Answer:

6/5 or 1.2, they're the same value

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says "rate of change", it's really just asking for the slope. If you don't know what the slope is, essentially how much the y-value increases by whenever x increases by 1. This can be formally defined using the equation: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ which is essentially $\frac{rise}{run}$ . The subtraction is finding the difference between the two numbers to see how much it's changed by. Btw the order doesn't matter, I could plug in (-3, -2) as (x2, y2) or I could plug it in as (x1, y1) as long as I make sure to input it in correctly. In this example I'll just say (-3, -2) = (x1, y1) and (2, 4) = (x2, y2). Plugging these values into the equation gives you: $\frac{4- (-2)}{2- (-3)} = \frac{6}{5}$ that's the rate of change
