Answer:

The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².

So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².

Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².

Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.

Now we can figure out that 4B=32.

Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.

This gives us B=8.

So the other side is 8 feet.

Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.

BRAINLIEST!!!<br> 18. Point p is chosen at random on EH. Find the probability that p is on FG.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

\frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of this line is 15 units. FG is 6 units long.

This means that the probability of p being on FG would be \frac{6}{15} which can be simplified to \frac{2}{5}

A cylinder has a base diameter of 12in and a height of 17in. What is its volume in cubic in, to the nearest tenths place?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

1922.7 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be found with this formula:

V=πr^2h

The radius, r, is half the diameter.

So, 12/2=6

r=6 inches

Then, just plug the numbers in.

V=π(6)^2(17)

V=1922.65

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

V=1922.7 cubic inches
