Answer:

p=3

Step-by-step explanation:

p:4=9:12

We can rewrite this to p/4=9/12. This simplifies to 1/4p=3/4. We can multiply both sides of the equation by 4. Then we get p=3.

It is A because you subsitute the x in the equation A) (2x-8)(7x+5)=0 x=4 x=5,7 (fraction)
subtitute the x now and you get
(2(4)-8)(7(-5,7)+5) = 0

Find the longer leg of the triangle.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Choice A. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in question is a right triangle.

The length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is given.
The measure of one of the acute angle is also given.

As a result, the length of both legs can be found directly using the sine function and the cosine function.

Let $\text{Opposite}$ denotes the length of the side opposite to the $30^{\circ}$ acute angle, and $\text{Adjacent}$ be the length of the side next to this $30^{\circ}$ acute angle.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Opposite} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \sin{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{1}{2} \\&= \sqrt{3}\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly,

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Adjacent} &= \text{Hypotenuse} \times \cos{30^{\circ}}\\ &=2\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\&= 3\end{aligned}$ .

The longer leg in this case is the one adjacent to the $30^{\circ}$ acute angle. The answer will be $3$ .

There's a shortcut to the answer. Notice that $\sin{30^{\circ}} < \cos{30^{\circ}}$ . The cosine of an acute angle is directly related to the adjacent leg. In other words, the leg adjacent to the $30^{\circ}$ angle will be the longer leg. There will be no need to find the length of the opposite leg.
