Answer: 10.4

explanation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
plug in 3 for a and 10 for b
3^2 + 10^2 =c^2
simplify to get
109 =c^2
take the square root of both sides
c = sqrt109 or 10.44030651

Answer:

c<u> </u><u>(</u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>hypotenuse</u><u>)</u><u> = 10.4 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off by rearranging the original pythangorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) by taking the square root of both sides so it is in the form of a distance formula solving for c(the hypotenuse).

c^2 will become |c| as length cannot be negative so (labeling an absolute value is negligible)

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c^2 = a^2+b^2

√(c^2) = √(a^2+b^2)

<em>c = √(a^2+b^2)</em>

Then substitute the given lengths, in this scenario, sides a and b.

After you substitute, just simplify.

c = √(3^2+10^2) = √(9+100) = √109 ≈ 10.4 units (nearest tenth)

8. The expression (x+5)(x+8)+(x+5)(2x - 3) can be written as the product of (x + 5) and
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(x + 5)(3x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 5)(x + 8) + (x + 5)(2x - 3) ← factor out (x + 5) from each term

= (x + 5)(x + 8 + 2x - 3)

= (x + 5)(3x + 5)

Find the equation of a line that passes through (-5,4) and us parallel to y=-6/7x+3​
irina [24]

Given:

The given equation of line is

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x+3

To find:

The equation of line that passes through (-5,4) and is parallel to the given line.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b    ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x+3      ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-\dfrac{6}{7}

Slope of given line is m=-\dfrac{6}{7}.

Slope of parallel lines are same. So, slope of parallel line is m=-\dfrac{6}{7}.

The required line passes through (-5,4) with slope m=-\dfrac{6}{7}. So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-4=-\dfrac{6}{7}(x-(-5))

y-4=-\dfrac{6}{7}(x+5)

y-4=-\dfrac{6}{7}x-\dfrac{30}{7}

Adding 4 on both sides, we get

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x-\dfrac{30}{7}+4

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x+\dfrac{-30+28}{7}

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x-\dfrac{2}{7}

Therefore, the correct option is a.
