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.

Alberto ran a race at a speed of 9 meters per second. Omar had a 6 meter head start and ran at a speed of 7 meters per second. B

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: Alberto run 27 meters.

Time taken By Alberto=3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance Alberto ran to catch Omar.

Then, distance ran by Omar=x-6

Also, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Since, both started running at the same time.

Time taken By Alberto= $\frac{x}{9}$

Time taken By Omar= $\frac{x-6}{7}$

Now, at the point they meet time taken by both is equal.

$\frac{x}{9}=\frac{x-6}{7}\\\Rightarrow\ 7x=9(x-6)\\\Rightarrow7x=9x-54\\\Rightarrow9x-7x=54\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=54\\\Rightarrow\ x=27$

Hence, Alberto run 27 meters.

Time taken By Alberto= $\frac{27}{9}$ =3 seconds

the number of three-digit numbers with distinct digits that be formed using the digits 1,2,3,5,8 and 9 is . The probability that

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

a)120

b)6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

No. of digits given= 6

Digits given= 1,2,3,5,8,9

Number to be formed should be 3-digits, as we have to choose 3 digits from given 6-digits so the no. of combinations will be

6P3= 6!/3!

= 6*5*4*3*2*1/3*2*1

=6*5*4

=120

Now finding the probability that both the first digit and the last digit of the three-digit number are even numbers:

As the first and last digits can only be even

then the form of number can be

a)2n8 or

b)8n2

where n can be 1,3,5 or 9

4*2=8

so there can be 8 three-digit numbers with both the first digit and the last digit even numbers

And probability = 8/120

= 0.0667

=6.67%

The probability that both the first digit and the last digit of the three-digit number are even numbers is 6.67% !

The area of a rectangle is (x4 4x3 3x2 – 4x – 4), and the length of the rectangle is (x3 5x2 8x 4). if area = length × width, wh

viva [34]

Answer:

Area = x4 + 4x3 + 3x2 - 4x - 4

Length = x3 +5x2 + 8x + 4

Width = Area / Length.

Performing long division with polynomial.

x4 + 4x3 + 3x2 - 4x - 4 / x3 + 5x2 + 8x + 4 = x-1

Width = x-1
