A right-angled triangle and its hypotenuse.

In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite of the right angle. The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. For example, if one of the other sides has a length of 3 (when squared, 9) and the other has a length of 4 (when squared, 16), then their squares add up to 25. The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of 25, that is, 5.

So basically the hypotenuse is the part of the triangle that connects the two sides that create the right angle

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality y−2x≤−3?

My name is Ann [436]

we will proceed to resolve each case to determine the solution

we have

$y-2x \leq -3$

$y\leq2x-3$

we know that

If an ordered pair is the solution of the inequality, then it must satisfy the inequality.

case a) $(5,-3)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-3\leq2*5-3$

$-3\leq7$ -------> is true

The ordered pair $(5,-3)$ is a solution

case b) $(0,-2)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-2\leq2*0-3$

$-2\leq-3$ -------> is False

The ordered pair $(0,-2)$ is not a solution

case c) $(-6,-3)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-3\leq2*-6-3$

$-3\leq-15$ -------> is False

The ordered pair $(-6,-3)$ is not a solution

case d) $(1,-1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-1\leq2*1-3$

$-1\leq-1$ -------> is True

The ordered pair $(1,-1)$ is a solution

case e) $(7,12)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$12\leq2*7-3$

$12\leq11$ -------> is False

The ordered pair $(7,12)$ is not a solution

Verify

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the shaded area below the line

The points A and D lies on the shaded area, therefore the ordered pairs A and D are solution of the inequality

Blaine buys 2 books and the total cost is $24.18. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost in dollars, y, t

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$ 12.09

Step-by-step explanation:

formula Y = KX

Where; y = $ 24.18

x = 2 books

k = constant of proportionality

Step 1. Do the equation based on the formula

Y = kx

$24.18 = k2

Step 2. Divide by 2

$24.18/2 = k2/2

k = $12.09 (answer)

I need help..

Debora [2.8K]

This is exactly like the one with the 'n's that you posted yesterday.
I guess you didn't get enough help on that one to understand it.

7k/8 - 3/4 - 5k/16 = 3/8

3/4 is the same as 6/8.
Add it to each side of the equation:

7k/8 - 5k/16 = 9/8

Multiply each side by 16 :

14k - 5k = 18

Add up the 'k's on the left side:

9k = 18

From this point, you can proceed directly to the numerical value of 'k'
if you need it.

In your question, you said you need help, and I showed you how to
strip the problem down so that the only thing left is ' k = something '.
Giving you the answer is no help. Nobody actually needs the answer.

PLZ HURRY IT'S URGENT!!

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

n + 6 = 7n

Step-by-step explanation:

"The sum of a number and six" would mean the number plus 6: n+6 and "is seven times the number" indicates that it would be equal to the product of 7 for n: 7n. According to this, the answer is that the translation of the sentence into an equation is: n+6=7n.

n − 6 = 7n is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six.

7(n + 6) = n is not right because the statement indicates that seven multiplies n on the right side as it says seven times the number.

n = 7n + 6 is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six which would be on the left side and that this would be equal to seven for n.
