Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)². Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get (shortest side) = 13.3 cm

Answer:

$\sf \boxed{ \sf y - 3 = \dfrac{3}{2} (x - 6)}$

Explanation:

$\sf Given \ equation: y = \dfrac{3}{2} x - 5$

Comparing it with slope intercept form "y = mx + b" where 'm' is slope and 'b' is y-intercept.

Here slope: 3/2 and y-intercept: -5

Parallel slope has the same tangent slope.

Pass through point (x, y) = (6, 3)

Equation:

$\sf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$\rightarrow \sf y - 3 = \dfrac{3}{2} (x - 6)$

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,8)(−6,8) and (8,8)(8,8). Put your answer in fully reduced poin

Artemon [7]

Answer:

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1

So its 8-(-6) over 8-8 which equals 14/0 which means the equation of the line is y=8

This is a horizontal line on 8 on the y axis

Answer:

Length: x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x + 15 = length × width

x² + 8x + 15

x² + 5x + 3x + 15

x(x + 5) + 3(x + 5)

(x + 5)(x + 3)

Width: (x + 3)

Length: (x + 5)
