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.

The perimeter of a parallelgram is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.

Parallelogram ABCD has sides AB, BC, CD, and AB.

Sides AB and CD are parallel and of equal length = 19 units.

Sides BC and CD are parallel and of equal length. Assuming thi is the length of 5 units given in the statement, the perimeter of the parallelogram ABCD is: 19  units + 19 units + 5 units + 5 units = 48 units.

Please, inform if the length of 5 units corresponds to other distance, but even in that case, with this explanation you should be able to calculate the perimeter of this and other parallelograms.

Serhud [2]

Answer:B

I think we are in the same class lol

Step-by-step explanation:448 divided by 14= 32

448 divided by 16= 28

B=speed of boat in water

Y= Speed of current

B+y=32

B-y=28

32 + 28 =60

60 divided by 2 = 30

32 -30 =2

B=30

Y=2
