The other leg is 12cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Hypotenuse = c = 15cm

One leg = a = 9cm

Other leg = b

As the triangle is right angled, therefore, using Pythagoras theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(9)^2+b^2=(15)^2\\81+b^2=225\\b^2=225-81\\b^2=144\\$

Taking square root on both sides;

$\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{144} \\b=12\ cm$

The other leg is 12cm long.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST find the value of r (-4,8), (r,12), m=4/3 (show your work pls)

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

r = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find b from y=mx=b using m=4/3 and (-4,8)

$8=\frac{4}{3}(-4)+b$

After solving the equation, b will equal -16/3 making the final equation be

$y=\frac{4}{3} x-\frac{16}{3}$

Using the equation, you can solve for r.

$12=\frac{4}{3} x-\frac{16}{3}$

This will bring the answer being r = 13

The easiest way to determine the score is to use a calculator or spreadsheet and the appropriate probability function.

If you want the top 10%, the score corresponds to the 90th percentile. That score is 316.

If you want the top 15%, the score corresponds to the 85th percentile. That score is 313.
