Answer: The value of the unknown leg would be 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given a leg of one triangle, the hypotenuse, and a very crucial theorem, the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that "the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides".

So that means, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

one leg^2 + one leg^2 = hypotenuse^2.

In this case though, we are given a leg and the hypotenuse. That means we must the other unknown leg. We can do this by rewriting the Pythagorean Theorem so that it fits our requests:

c^2 - a^2 = b^2

hypotenuse^2 -  one leg^2 = another leg^2.

Substitute the values that are known into the new equation:

39^2 - 15^2 = x^2

1521 - 225 = 1296

Find the square root of 1296:

sqrt of 1296 = 36

So the value of the other leg is 36.

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

you would just to 39^2-15^2 which is 1296 and the square root of that is 36 so 36 would be the answer

Tony writes an equation to represent the distance he walks in meters, d, in relation to the number of minutes he walks, m. d = 1
liraira [26]
Tony : d = 108m.....so Tony walks 108 meters per minute

Mark :
(10,1100),(20,2200)
slope = (2200 - 1100) / (20 - 10) = 1100/10 = 110 meters per minute

So Tony's walk speed is 2 meters per minute slower then Tony's walk speed

From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi, two trains left simultaneously towards each other. The speed of one
djverab [1.8K]

Complete question :

From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi, two trains left simultaneously towards each other. The speed of one train was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other one. In 5 hours the trains had not met yet and were 170 mi apart. Find the speed of the trains.

Answer:

Train A = 80 miles per hour

Train B = 90 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance between A and B = 1020

Let the speed of A = x

Speed of B = x + 10

Since they both left simultaneously;

Distance traveled after 5 hours will be :

Distance = speed * time

A = x * 5 = 5x

B = (x + 10) * 5 = 5x + 50

After the distance traveled by each of A and B, they are still 170 miles apart

Hence, distance covered after 5 hours ;

Total miles - miles left

1020 - 170 = 850 miles

Hence,

5x + 5x + 50 = 850

10x = 850 - 50

10x = 800

x = 80

Train A = 80 miles per hour

Train B = 80 + 10 = 90 miles per hour
