Hello!

<h3><em><u>Answer</u></em></h3>

The area of the right triangle is 30 in^{2}. The perimeter is 40 in.


<h3><em><u>Explanation</u></em></h3>

First, we must find the measure of the hypotenuse of the triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

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

8^{2} + 15^{2} = c^{2}

64 + 225 = c^{2}

√289 = c^{2}

17 = c

Now that we have all the side lengths, we can use the formulas to find the area and perimeter.

<h3>AREA:</h3>

A = \frac{bh}{2}

A = (15 × 8) ÷ 2

A = 30

<h3>PERIMETER:</h3>

P = a + b + c

P = 8 + 15 + 17

P = 40

Answer:

f(x) = -2x^2 + 7x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c\\f(0) = 9 => c = 9;\\f(2) = 15 = 4a + 2b + 9  2a + b  = 3\\f(3) = 9a + 3b + 9 = 12  3a + b = 1\\Subtract the second equation from the first:\\-a = 2 => a = -2; b = 7; c = 9\\f(x) = -2x^2 + 7x + 9

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

a^2=b^2+c^2.

a^2=10^2+17^2.

a^2=100+289.

Solve |2x - 1| + 3 = 6.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

x =2                         x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 1| + 3 = 6.

Subtract 3 from each side

|2x - 1| + 3-3 = 6-3

|2x - 1|= 3

An absolute value has two solutions, one positive and one negative

2x-1 =3                   2x -1 = -3

Add 1 to all sides

2x-1+1 =3+1             2x-1+1 = -3+1

2x = 4                      2x =-2

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2                 2x/2 = -2/2

x =2                         x = -1
