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 :)

I have k quarters, five less quarters than nickels and one more than twice as many dimes as quarters. Find the value of the coin
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(35k + 20) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have the value of each unit:

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Given that number of quarter = k

Quarters are 5 lesser than Nickels, so number of nickels = k+5

One more than twice as many dimes as quarters:

k = 2 \times Number of Dimes + 1

So, number of dimes = \frac{1}{2}(k-1)

Value of quarters = 25 \times k cents

Value of nickels = 5 \times (k+5) = (5k+25)\ cents

Value of dimes = \frac{1}{2}(k-1) \times 10 = (5k-5)\ cents

So, total value of coins =

25k + 5k +25 +5k-5\\\Rightarrow (35k+20)\ cents

The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25%. Find the measurement of the angle and its
tester [92]
Let the angles be A and C 

<span>Complimentary angles, therefor </span>
<span>A + C = 90 </span>

<span>The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25% (you used a % sign so I'll use % instead of degrees) </span>
<span>C = 1.25A </span>

<span>Substitute </span>
<span>A + 1.25A = 90 </span>
<span>2.25A = 90 </span>
<span>A = 40º <----- </span>
<span>C = 50º <----- </span>
<span>------------------------------ </span>

<span>If you meant 25º </span>
<span>A + (A + 25) = 90 </span>
<span>2A + 25 = 90 </span>
<span>2A = 65 </span>
<span>A = 32.5º </span>
<span>C = 57.5º</span>
