Answer:

The length of the other leg in the simplest radical form is 14\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

hypotenuse of a right triangle is 'c'

one of the leg is 'a'

other leg is 'b'

we are given

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 28 units

so, c=28

the length of one of the legs is 14 units

so,a=14

now, we can use Pythagoras theorem

c^2=a^2+b^2

now, we can plug values

28^2=14^2+b^2

now, we can solve for b

b^2=588

b=\sqrt{588}

b=14\sqrt{3}

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3/2x + 3 and goes through the point (-3, -8). Hint: Use the po
JulijaS [17]
Point-slope form looks like this: y - k = m(x - h) where m is the slope, k is the y-value and h is the x-value. For (-3, -8), -3 would replace h and -8 would replace k.

Slope-intercept form looks like this: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-value.

To solve the problem we must plug in the given coordinate and slope to the point-slope formula then change the point-slope form into slope-intercept form. But first we need to know what the slope is.

If a line is perpendicular to another line, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. So with the line y = 3/2x + 3, the slope for another line that is perpendicular has to be -2/3 because we switched the numerator and denominator and made it from positive to negative.

Now that we know the slope and the given coordinate, we can start solving.

Plug the givens into the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h).
y - (-8) = -2/3(x - (-3))
y + 8 = (-2/3*x) - (-2/3*-3)
y + 8 = -2/3x + 2 Now we can convert the equation to slope-intercept form.
y + 8 - 8 = -2/3x + 2 - 8 Remember that what we do on one side we must do one the other, so we subtract 8 on the left <em>and </em>right to get y by itself.
y = -2/3x - 6 This equation is now in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, so this is the final result.

I hope this explanation made sense. If there is anything that I made look confusing, feel free to tell me and I'll try my best to explain!

The surface area of a prism is 125 in2. the 2 is suposed to be cubed or squared or whatever
Rasek [7]
Surface area is area so it's in^2 or inches squared
12 in=1 foot therfor
1in<1 foot
so therfor if we converted the surface area to feet, then the number would decrease, but the actual area would stay the same because we just converted the units, we didn't change the actuall area

therfor the answers are A and E
