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 :)

PLEASE HELP!!! I NEED HELP ASAP
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

y = 6x

Explanation:

This question is asking you to write a linear equation in slope-intercept form, <u>y = mx + b,</u> where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) is visibly 0. As for the slope, you can take two points, I'll use (0,0) and (0.1,0.6) to calculate it.

Slope = y - y/x- x

Slope = (0.6 - 0)/(0.1 - 0) = 0.6/0.1 = 6

Plug in 0 for b and 6 for m and you have an equation.

y = 6x + 0

y = 6x

Answer:

ROCK 2.3 kg

is about 22.5N

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert kg>>>>N

You multiply by 9.8 (this is good for estimating, but use more decimal places like, 9.80665 for more exact calculations).

You can divide N÷9.8 to find kg

Which of the following random variables should be considered continuous? Select one: a. The number of cars owned by a randomly c
kolbaska11 [484]

The Random Variable that should be considered continuous is "The time it takes for a randomly chosen athlete to run 200 meters" , the correct option is (c) .

In the question ,

four random variables are given , we have to select the random variable that is continuous .

A Continuous Random Variable is a random variable X , which can take any value in its domain or in an interval or the union of intervals on the real line is called Continuous random variable .

For Example : weight of middle aged people lying between 40 Kg and 150 Kg .

From the given options ,

the option (c) , the time taken for a randomly chosen athlete to run 200 meters is a interval of time ,

So ,it is can be called as Continuous Random Variable .

Therefore , the option that represents Continuous Random Variable is option(c) .

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is

Which of the following random variables should be considered continuous ? Select one:

(a) The number of cars owned by a randomly chosen adult male

(b) The number of orders received by a mail-order company in a randomly chosen week

(c) The time it takes for a randomly chosen athlete to run 200 meters  

(d) The numbers of brothers a randomly chosen person has .

MAVERICK [17]

We have been given that Marcus works for 26 hours each week and 48 weeks each year.

Thus in a year he works for 26 \times 48 = 1248 hours.

Now, we have been given that Marcus earns $8.40 per hour.

Therefore, in 1248 hours, he earns

1248 \times 8.40\\&#10;\\&#10;=\$ 10483.2

Marcus has to pay tax if he earns more than $10,000. Now we have calculated that he earns $ 10483.2  which is higher than $10,000.

Therefore, Marcus has to to pat tax.
