Answer:

The shorter leg is $2\sqrt{3}$ inches

Explanation:

The 30°-60°-90° is a special type of right-angled triangles

It has the following special side length:

The length of the side opposite to the 30° is $\frac{1}{2}$ the length of the hypotenuse

The length of the side opposite to the 60° is $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ of the hypotenuse

Now, we know that the lengths of the sides in a triangle are proportional to the angles

This means that the shortest side will be the one opposite to the smallest angles

In our case, the shortest side will be the one opposite to the 30° angle

We are given that the hypotenuse of the triangle is $4\sqrt{3}$ in

From the above:

Shorter leg = leg opposite to 30° = $\frac{1}{2} * hypotenuse = \frac{1}{2} * 4\sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{2}$ inches

Hope this helps :)

Finding a parametric description of the solution set of a linear system is the same as solving the system.Choose the correct ans

Grace [21]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice B".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

In this question, in all choices, the choice (B) is Correct because in the declaration of the statement Only when the process has had at least another answer could a candidate solution for more than just a linear model explicitly uses a parametric description that's why the given statement is true.

40x40x40+26-98+45x78x78x78 then divide by 3

kykrilka [37]

You've written "then" before 3, so i assume the real question is:

(40 * 40 * 40 + 26 - 98 + 45 * 78 * 78 * 78) / 3
Use "PEMDAS" first solve under the parenthesis, then after it.

= (64000 + 26 - 98 + 21354840) / 3
= 21418768 / 3
= 7139589.33

In short, Your Answer would be: 7139589.33

Hope this helps!

Solve the inequality |* +31 < |2x + 1. |x+3|<|2x+1|

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to follow when solving absolute value inequalities:

Isolate the absolute value expression on the left side of the inequality.

If the number on the other side of the inequality sign is negative, your equation either has no solution or all real numbers as solutions.

If your problem has a greater than sign (your problem now says that an absolute value is greater than a number), then set up an "or" compound inequality that looks like this:

(quantity inside absolute value) < -(number on other side)

(quantity inside absolute value) > (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a ³ sign.

If your absolute value is less than a number, then set up a three-part compound inequality that looks like this:

-(number on other side) < (quantity inside absolute value) < (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a £ sign
