Which is best estimate for the length of the short leg a if the hypotenuses c is about 10 cm 15 points!!
1 answer:
Answer:
A)4
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming all edges are integral values
The most basic right angles triangle with integral edges is
(3,4,5)
as it obeys pythogores theorem
which is
Now, double each edge,it will still remain a right angled triangle since it will still obey pythogores theorem
so the edges are (4,6,10)
⇒4 cm is the short leg of a integral right triangle with hypotenuse 10 cm

First, you have to find out the values of the length and width.
Let l = length and w = width.
Set up your equation for area: l * w = 80
Set up your equation for perimeter: 2l + 2w = 36
We can use substitution for this problem, so find out the value of l or w. In this case, I will use the first equation to find out the value of l.
(Divide w on both sides) l = 80 / w
Since I know that l = 80 / w, I can substitute it into the second equation.
2l + 2w = 36, and l = 80 / w
= 2 (80/w) + 2w = 36
Simplify the equation.
= 160/w + 2w = 36
Get rid of the w in the denominator by multiplying the entire equation by w.
= ( 160/w + 2w = 36 ) * w
= 160 + = 36w
= 2 ( w - 8 ) ( w - 10 )
The solutions for width (w) is 8 or 10. Then, you can use both 8 and 10 as your length and width, either or is fine. Multiply by 4 for each of those values and you get 8 x 4 = 32 and 10 x 4 = 40. The new perimeter would be 2(32) + 2(40) =
a. 144 cm

Answer:
1st problem: b)
2nd problem: c)
Step-by-step explanation:
1st problem:
The formula/equation you want to use is:
where
t=number of years
A=amount he will owe in t years
P=principal (initial amount)
r=rate
n=number of times the interest is compounded per year t.
We are given:
P=2500
r=12%=.12
n=12 (since there are 12 months in a year and the interest is being compounded per month)
Time to clean up the inside of the ( ).
----------------------------------------------------
2nd Problem:
Compounded continuously problems use base as e.
P is still the principal
r is still the rate
t is still the number of years
A is still the amount.
You are given:
P=2500
r=12%=.12
Let's plug that information in:
