Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 10.9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

h = hypotenuse

a = leg 1 = 6.8ft

b = leg 2 = 8.5ft

h² = a² + b²

we replace the known values

h² = (6.8ft)² + (8.5ft)²

h² = 46.24ft² + 72.25ft²

h² = 118.49ft²

h = √(118.49ft²)

h = 10.8853 ft

Round to the nearest tenth

h = 10.8853 ft = 10.9ft

The length of the hypotenuse is 10.9ft

Answer:

y = $-\frac{5}{5} x -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the lowest common factor of 12 and 15

dimaraw [331]

The factors of 12 are : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
The factors of 15 are : 1, 3, 5, 15.
1 and 3 are the only common factors (numbers which are factors of both 12 and 15).
Therefore, the highest common factor of 12 and 15 is 3.

A ship is 1.4° off course. If the ship is traveling at 14.0 miles per hour, how far off course will it be after 2 hours?

sesenic [268]

Answer:

about 0.7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

When you draw a diagram of the problem, you see that the shortest distance back to the course is the distance traveled times the sine of the angle:

distance off course = (14 mi/h)×(2 h)×sin(1.4°) ≈ 0.684 mi

The ship is about 0.7 miles from its intended course.
