Answer:

(A) 40 km

(B) 90 km

(C) 180 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side of this triangle, let's use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2, assuming that a and b are legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

Assuming the 9km side is a, we need to find the value of b, so we can substitute into the equation.

9^2+b^2=41^2\\81+b^2=1681\\b^2=1681-81\\b^2=1600\\\\b = \sqrt{1600} \\b=40

So, the length of the missing side is 40. Now that we know this piece of information, we can find the perimeter and area of the triangle.

The perimeter is all the sides added together, so 41+9+40 = 90 km is the perimeter.

The area are the two legs multiplied divided by 2.

So,

\frac{9\cdot40}{2} \\\\\frac{360}{2}\\\\180

So the area of this triangle is 180 cm²

I hope this helped!

a 15 wire is tied from the top of a pole to a stake in the ground. if the stake is 5 ft from the base of the pole find the heigh
Ainat [17]

Imagine this pole of height h sticking out of the ground.  A wire of length 15 feet connects the top of the pole to a stake in the ground which is located 5 feet from the base of the pole.  This arrangement creates a right triangle with legs h (the height of the pole), 5 ft (distance of bottom of pole from stake) and hypotenuse 15 ft.  

We can find the height of the pole (h) using either trig or the Pythagorean Theorem.  If we use the P. T., then h^2 + 5^2 = 15^2.

This results in h^2 + 5^2 = 15^2, or h^2 + 25 = 225, and so:

h^2 = 200.  Thus, h = +√200 = +10√2.

The height of the pole is 10√2 ft, or approx. 14.14 ft.
