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.

Transform the following polar equation into an equation in rectangular coordinates: r=2 cos theta A. x + y = 2 B. y = 2x C. x =

Mila [183]

$r=2\cos\theta$
$r^2=2r\cos\theta$
$\implies x^2+y^2=2x$
$x^2-2x+y^2=0$
$x^2-2x+1+y^2=1$
$(x-1)^2+y^2=1$

If each side of a square grows 6 mm, the area of the square is multiplied by 16. How long are the sides of the original square

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

2 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sides of the original square,

then the area of the original square is x^2

The sides of the new square is x + 6

The area is (x + 6)^2

Then (x + 6)^2 = 16*x^2

Take square root on both sides and get

x + 6 = 4x,

3x = 6

so x = 2 mm

Solve 5x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0 by completing the square.

Reika [66]

Answer: The correct option is (c) $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following quadratic equation by the method of completing the square:

$5x^2-7x+2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Also, we are to find the constant added on both sides to form the perfect square trinomial.

We have from equation (i) that

$5x^2-7x+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-\dfrac{7}{5}x+\dfrac{2}{5}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{7}{10}+\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2+\dfrac{2}{5}=\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49}{100}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49-40}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{9}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{7}{10}=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}.$

So,

$x=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10},~~~~~~~~x=-\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10}{10},~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-3+7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$

Thus, the required solution is $x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$ and the value of the constant added is $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Option (c) is correct.
