Answer:

The x intercept is (-5,0)

The y intercept is (0,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x intercept we set y=0 and solve for x

3x+5y = -15

3x+0 = -15

3x = -15

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -15/3

x = -5

The x intercept is (-5,0)

To find the x intercept we set x=0 and solve for y

3x+5y = -15

0+5y = -15

5y = -15

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -15/5

y = -3

The y intercept is (0,-3)

The area of a right triangle is 270 m². The height of the right triangle is 15 m. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the ri

nikitadnepr [17]

The area of a triangle is calculated by the expression given as:

Area = bh/2

where b is the base and h is the height.

We calculate as follows:

270 = b (15) / 2
b = 36

hypotenuse = sqrt ( 15^2 + 36^2 ) = 39

The Midpoint Theorem states that the line segment joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of the third side

In this problem segment XY join the midpoints of side EF and side GF of triangle EFG

applying the midpoint theorem

$XY=\frac{GE}{2}$
