By Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so 8^2 +15^2 = c^2

64+225 = 289

sqr rt of 289 is 17

Which of the following are exterior angles? Check all that apply.

cestrela7 [59]

Exterior angles are found along the outside of the figure if you extend the figure's side lengths.

The exterior angles in the image would be 4 and 5.

6 isn't an angle, and all of the other options are found on the inside of the triangle (1,2 and 3).

1/4(y+3)=(x-2)^2 what is the directirx

BARSIC [14]

To make this as easy as possible, we will find the vertex from the equation above. The vertex is sitting at (h, k) of (2, -3). The directrix is the same number of units from the vertex that the focus is. The formula for the focus for an upwards-opening parabola is $(h,k+ \frac{1}{4a} )$ . The "a" in that formula is the 1/4 sitting in front of (y+3). Filling in accordingly, we have $(2, -3+ \frac{1}{4( \frac{1}{4}) })$ . Simplifying we get $(2, -3+1)=(2, -2)$ . The focus is on the axis of symmetry along with the vertex, and is 1 unit above the vertex. That means that the directrix is 1 unit BELOW the vertex and is a horizontal line. Therefore, the directrix has an equation of y = -4

the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:5.whar fraction of the class are boys?what fraction of the class are girls

arlik [135]

Answer:

4/9 are boys and 5/9 are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

4:5 equals to 4+5 which is 9, that is your denominator, then you take the 4 and the 5 and sort them into boys and girls. Once you've done this, you should have 4/9 boys and 5/9.
