Answer: C. square root 189 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 in.

The length of one leg = 6 in.

Let <em>x </em>be the length of other leg, then

According to Pythagoras theorem ,we have

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

\Rightarrow\ 15^2=6^2+x^2\\\Rightarrow225=36+x^2\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=225-36=189\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{189}\ in.

Hence, the length of the other leg is \sqrt{189}\text{ in.}

Thus , the correct answer is C. square root 189 in.

What are the solutions to the equation? x^3 - 8x^2 - x + 8 =0
kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 8x² - x + 8 =0

x^3 - 8x² - (x - 8 )=0

x²(x-8) - (x-8) = 0

(x-8)(x² -1) =0

x-8 = 0  or x² - 1 = 0

x-8=0 or (x-1)(x+1)=0

x=8 x=1 or x=-1
