Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the problem, the given triangle is a right triangle. This is signified by the box around one of its angles, this box states that the angle it is surrounding is a right angle.
Since it is a right triangle, one can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. The Pythagorean theorem states that; (
), where (
) and (
) are the legs of the right triangle, or the sides adjacent to the right angle. (
) is the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle.
Substitute in the given values and solve, note that () represents the unknown leg (side).

Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a horizontal line is zero (0). For any finite "run", the "rise" is zero.
slope = rise/run = 0/run = 0
This is child's play.
So, basically:
Y=Length of foot
X= Length of your forearm.
This is simple. Your equation is Y=0.860x + 3.302
So, if you have a forearm (x) that is 17 inches long, then plug in x as 17. This leaves you to evaluate for Y.
New equation: Y=0.860(17) +3.302
Work it out, you get: Y=14.62 + 3.302
Work that out, you get: Y= 17.922 inches long.
And of course, Y is the foot.
So, your answer: If the forearm is 17 inches long, then the foot is 17.922 inches long. Simple.
So, part 2:
Rate of change. Well, you need slope then, because that's the same thing.
Y=mx+b, Where m=slope
Your answer turns to be 0.860 inches per length of arm, for rate of change.
Skipping the data, as that's only something you'd know.
Yes, it is indeed a function. There can't be any exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder, and it's obviously not a straight line if you plug it in.
So yeah, it's a function.
