Mathematics

zheka24 [161]3 years ago

Answer:

9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

Substituting in what we know (one leg is 12 and the hypotenuse is 15)

12^2 +b^2 = 15^2

144+ b^2 = 225

Subtract 144 from each side

144-144 +b^2 = 225-144

b^2 =81

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(81)

b = 9

On a number line, suppose point E has a coordinate of - 1, and EG = 7. What are the possible coordinates of point G?​
lana [24]

Answer:

G = 1, 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two cases to this problem: G is either to the left or right of E. If G is to the left of E, then G = 5 - 4 = 1 and if G is to the right of E, then G = 5 + 4 = 9. Therefore, our answer is G = 1, 9.

ABCDE is a pentagon.
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

area = 44 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle area = bh = 8 x 4 = 32 cm²

triangle height² = 5² - 4³ = 25 - 16 = 9

triangle height = 3

triangle area = 1/2bh = 1/2(8)(3) = 12 cm²

32 cm² + 12 cm² = 44 cm²

area = 44 cm²
