Answer:

The length of the missing side is 41.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the Pythagoras theorem

- It used in the right angle triangle

- The hypotenuse is the opposite side to the right angle and it's the

  longest side in the triangle

- The two other sides in the right angle triangle are the legs of

 the right angle

- If the length of the hypotenuse is c units and the lengths of the

 two legs of the right angle area a and b

∴ a² + b² = c² ⇒ c = √(a² + b²)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the hypotenuse = 45 inches

∵ The length of one legs of the right angle = 18 inches

- Lets use the Pythagoras theorem

∴ c² = a² + b²

∴ 45² = 18² + b² ⇒ subtract 18² from both sides

∴ b² = 45² - 18² = 2025 - 324 = 1701 ⇒ take square root for both sides

∴ b = √1701 = 41.24 inches

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The missing side length is 41.24 inches.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we are working with a righ triangle, to solve this problem we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem states  that:

Hypotenuse^{2}=(Side_{1})^{2}+(Side_{2})^{2}

We are given that:

Hypotenuse=45in\\Side_{1}=18in

So, isolating the missing side and substituting the given information, we have:

(45in)^{2}=(18in)^{2}+(Side_{2})^{2}

(Side_{2})^{2}=(45in)^{2}-(18in)^{2}+

\sqrt{(Side_{2})^{2}} =\sqrt{(45in)^{2}-(18in)^{2}}\\\\Side_{2}=\sqrt{2025in^{2}-324^{2}}=\sqrt{1701^{2}}\\\\Side_{2}=41.2431in=41.24in

Have a nice day!

Find x and the perimeter of the triangle. <br><br> x= <br> perimeter=
agasfer [191]

Answer:

x = 10  Perimeter: 129

Step-by-step explanation:

FINDING X:

4x+7 = 5x -3

7 = x -3

10 = x

x = 10

PERIMETER:

4x + 7 + 5x - 3 + 4x - 5

Combine the "x" values

13x + 7- 3 - 5

Combine the numbers

13x - 1

13(10) -1

130 - 1

129

ELEN [110]

Answer:

28/155

Step-by-step explanation:

To find people who do use the waterslide and/or the sauna subracter 43 from 155 to get 112.

To find the people who only use the sauna subtract 97 from 112 to get 15.

To find people who use both the waterslide and the sauna subtract 15 from 43 to get 28.

The probability of a person who uses both the waterslide and the sauna is 28/155.
