Hello!

If you add up the squares of the two legs, it will equal the square of the hypotenuse. As we already have the hypotenuse, we will subtract.

225-81=144

Now we find the square root.

√144=12

Therefore, the other leg is 12 cm long.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

We apply the theorem of Pythagoras. Let x be the other side, y the hypotenuse and z the smallest side.

x² = y² - z²

x² = 15² - 9²

x² = 225 - 81 = 144

x = √(144) = 12 cm

Bye :)

A line passes through the points (0, 9) and (9, 19). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

y = 10/9x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, we need to find the slope (m) of the line and its y-intercept (b).

Given the points (0, 9) and (9, 19), we can solve for the slope of the line using the following formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let (x1, y1) = (0, 9)

and (x2, y2) = (9, 19)

Substitute these values on the formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{19 - 9}{9 - 0} = \frac{10}{9}

Therefore, the slope (<em>m </em>) = 10/9.

Next, the <u>y-intercept</u> is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis, and has the coordinates, (0, <em>b </em>). It is also the value of the y when x = 0.

One of the given points is the y-intercept of the line, given by (0, 9). The y-coordinate, 9, is the value of b.

Therefore, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 10/9x + 9

A rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter in mixed number?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 18 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet.

The perimeter would be calculated as:

= 2(length + width)

= 2( 5 1/3 + 3 3/4)

= 2( 5 4/12 + 3 9/12)

= 2( 8 13/12)

= 2 (9 1/12)

= 2 × 9 1/12

= 2 × 109/12

= 218/12

= 18 2/12

= 18 1/6 feet

Help with all three IM CONFUSED
icang [17]

Answer:

How does y vary with x?

This is called direct variation and to find proportionality, we use the formula y/x = K

Step-by-step explanation:

The first table's results would look like:

6:15

12:30

18:45

24:60

30:75

To do these, you divide the y values by the constant to receive x.

If you need more help, you message me :) Good luck with your work!
