Answer:

The answer to your question is   b = 11.31 cm  or   8\sqrt{2} cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

hypotenuse = 18 cm

one leg = 14 cm

second leg = ?

Process

1.- Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem

                 c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a = longer leg

b= shorter leg

2.- Substitution

                        18² = 14² + b²

-Solve for b

                         b² = 18² - 14²

-Simplify

                         b² = 324 - 196

                         b² = 128

-Find the prime factors of 128

                          128   2

                            64  2

                             32  2

                             16  2

                              8  2

                              4  2

                              2  2

                               1

          128 = 2⁶2¹                                    

-Result

                         b = 11.31   or   8\sqrt{2}

Amy mixed together 2.4 gal. of Brand A fruit drink and 5.6 gal. of apple juice. Find the percent of fruit juice in Brand A if th
stellarik [79]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit punch has 2.4 gallons but x %

Apple juice has 5.6 gallons but 100 % or 1

The total mixture would then have 8 gallons and 82 %.

2.4+5.6=8

8×0.82 = 6.56

Then you would do 2.4x + 5.6(1) = 6.56

2.4x + 5.6 = 6.56

2.4x = 0.96

0.96/2.4 = 0.4 = 40%

Therefore, Brand A has 40% fruit juice

In terms of x? pls solve and show your work! Will give u brainliest!
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

\sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 1 }

Solution,

base=1

perpendicular=?

hypotenuse=X

now,

using Pythagoras theorem,

x^2=p^2+b^2

or, x^2=p^2+1^2

or,p^2=x^2-1

or, p=√x^2-1

tan theta=perpendicular/ base

tan theta =√x^2-1/1

tan theta=√x^2-1

z=tan theta

z=√x^2-1

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A student was given two data sets, Set A and Set B. Which of the
Liula [17]

Answer:

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table given, the data sets are such that set A is a linear function while data set B is follows an exponential function. Given that the range of data set A over the same domain is smaller that the range of data set B over the same domain. Hence we conclude that the set A is linear and the values increase at a slower rate than set B.
