Find the exact length of the third side

Mathematics
1 answer:
Daniel [21]3 years ago

Answer:

√23

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given two side lengths of a right triangle, you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).

All you have to do is plug the given information in:

Remember, 13 is the hypotenuse for this triangle.

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify:

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 from both sides:

b² = 169-144

b² = 23

Square root both sides:

b = √23

And that's your answer!

William earns $13 an hour working at a movie theater last week he worked h hours at the concession stand and three times as many
maw [93]
I think the expression for that is 13 • h • 3 because he gets $13 per hour and we don't know how many hours he worked so we would just put a variable and then he worked three times as many hours so multiply by 3. I might be wrong but hopefully it helps

Which point-slope equation represents a line that passes through (3,-2) with a slope of -4/5?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y + 2 = -4/5 (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1). Put in your points for y1 and x1, and always remember to flip your signs.

unfortunately, I don't know why that isn't one of your answers, so sticking with the positive 2 I would choose y+2=- (- 3) if I were you. Looks like the -4/5 disappeared somehow?

Hope this helps
