General Idea:

Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, if side of triangle is given by ' a ', bottom of the triangle is given by ' b ' and hypotenuse of triangle is given by ' c', then Sum of squares of a and b is equal to the square of hypotenuse.

a^{2} \; +\; b^{2}\;  =\; c^{2}

Applying the Concept:

Given\\Side\;of\;triangle\;(a)\; =\;  8\\ Bottom\;of\;triangle\;(b)=15\\ \\ To\; Find\\Hyptotenuse\;(c)\\ \\ a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\\ 8^2+15^2=c^2\\ \\ 64+225=c^2\\ \\ 289=c^2\\ \\ c^2=289\\ Taking \; Square\;root\;on\;both\;sides\\ \\ \sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{289}  \\ \\ c=17

Conclusion:

The length of the missing side of the right triangle, when side 8 & bottom 15 is <u>17</u>. The correct answer is <u>option B</u>!!

Converting (x - 4)^2 + y^2 = 16 into polar form
dimulka [17.4K]

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

(x - 4)² + y² = 16

Step 02:

polar form:

x = r cos (θ)

y = r sin (θ)

(r cos (θ) - 4 )² + (r sin (θ))² = 16

(r cos θ - 4)² + r² sin² θ = 16

r (r - 8 cos (θ)) = 0

r = 8 cos θ

The answer is:

r = 8 cos θ

What would be the sum of the lengths of the first and second diagonals rounded to the nearest whole number?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

16.17684994

Step-by-step explanation:

First diagonal

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

x^2 = 5^2 + 6^2

x^2 = 61

x ≈ 7.810249676

Second diagonal

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

x^2 = 7.810249676^2 + 3^2

x^2 = 70

x ≈ 8.366600265

Sum of both diagonals

8.366600265 + 7.810249676

= 16.17684994
