Answer:

1.41a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC is a right triangle with equal legs AB =BC.

Hence, ∠B is 90° and CA is the hypotenuse.

Now, applying Pythagoras Theorem, we can write

CA² = AB² + BC²

Let us assume that each legs AB = BC = a.

Therefore, CA² = a² +a² = 2a²

⇒Hypotenuse or CA = a√2 = 1.41a { Round to the nearest tenth} (Answer)

Evaluate \dfrac{3}{2}+(-k)+(-2)

Dimas [21]

As I understand, we need to evaluate the given rational expression, we will get that the evaluated expression is equal to - 1/10

<h3>Evaluating expressions:</h3>

Evaluating an expression just means that we need to replace the variable in the expression for a given value, here we have the expression:

$\frac{3}{2} + (-k) + (-2)$

And we want to evaluate it in:

$k = -\frac{2}{5}$

So we just need to replace k by that value in the above expression, we will get:

$\frac{3}{2} + (-(-\frac{2}{5} )) + (-2)$

Now we can just solve this:

$\frac{3}{2} + (-(-\frac{2}{5} )) + (-2)\\\\\frac{3}{2} + \frac{2}{5} + (-2)\\\\\frac{15}{10} + \frac{4}{10} + (-2) = \frac{19}{10} - \frac{20}{10}= -\frac{1}{10}$

In the circle below, EG is a diameter and EF is tangent at E. Suppose mEF = 124°. Find the following. Does anyone know this?

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If EG is a diameter, then arc EFG is a semicircle and its measure is 180. Arc FG then is 180 - 124 = 56. Since angle FEG is an inscribed angle and the arc it cuts off is arc FG, then the measure of the inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it cuts off...so angle FEG is 28 degrees. Keep that in mind; we'll need it in a sec.

If HE is tangent to the circle at E, then angle HEG is a 90 degree angle. Adding that to angle FEG will give you angle FEH. Angle FEH = 90 + 28 = 118

What is the value of a if (2a +3) - (4a-8)= 7

mars1129 [50]

( 2a + 3 ) - ( 4a - 8 ) = 7
2a + 3 - 4a + 8 = 7
-2a + 11 = 7
-2a = -4
a = -4 / -2
a = 2
