The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1m longer than twice one of the other two sides. The third side of the triangle is 15m. Fi

Dimas [21]

Let the length of unknown side be x

So, hypotenuse = 2x + 1

By pythagorean theorem ie , a² = b² + c²

(2x + 1)² = x² + 15²

4x² + 1 + 4x = x² + 225

3x² + 4x -224

(3x +28)(x-8)

x = -9.33 , 8

Since, length can't be negative

x = 8

∴Unknown side length = 8 m

Length of hypotenuse = 2 x 8 + 1 = 17 m

Hope it helps now.

Answer:

The team can be formed in 756 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination problem since we are to select a set of people from a group. Combination has to do with selection.

for example, if r number of object is to be selected from a pool of n objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

$nCr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Now If A company has 7 male and 9 female employees, and needs to nominate 2 men and 2 women for the company bowling team, then this can be done in the following way;

$7C2 * 9C2$

$7C2 = \frac{7!}{5!2!} \\= \frac{7*6*5!}{5!*2} \\= 7*3\\= 21ways\\\\similarly;\\\\9C2 = \frac{9!}{7!2!}\\9C2= \frac{9*8*7!}{7!*2} \\9C2 = 9*4\\9C2 = 36$
