If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 and one leg is 5 what is the other leg?

Recall the Pythagorean Theorem which says:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other 2 legs. Now we just plug in numbers we already know (the hypotenuse and one leg) and solve for the unknown side:

5^2 + b^2 = 6^2

25 + b^2 = 36

b^2 = 11

b = √11

Thus the answer is C.

a circle with a radius of 1 cm sits inside a 3cm x 3cm rectangle. What is the area of the shaded region (the rectangle is shaded

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is $5.86\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the rectangle minus the area of the circle

The rectangle is a square

so

$A=b^{2} -\pi r^{2}$

we have

$b=3\ cm$

$r=1\ cm$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute the values

$A=3^{2} -(3.14)(1)^{2}$

$A=5.86\ cm^{2}$

The rectangle below has an area of c^2-4x-12 square meters and a length of x+2 meters what expression represents the width of th

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Width = $\frac{c^2 - 4x - 12 }{x+2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is to use the method of changing the subject. First we know that length * width is equal to area.

Area = length * width

We have the area and the length but we don't have the width. So we substitute the values we have int the equation and make the width (w) the subject.

(c^2 - 4x - 12) = (x + 2) * w

(c^2 - 4x - 12) = w(x +2)

Divide both sides by (x+2) so w can stand alone.

$\frac{c^2 - 4x - 12}{x+2} = \frac{w(x+2)}{x+2}$

w = $\frac{c^2 - 4x - 12 }{x+2}$

Help me math is not my thing and plz tell me how you did it

mafiozo [28]

We need to get m by itself. to do that, we divide each side of the equation by -3.3. so, m = 0.333 (repeating decimal).
