Let c = grams of copper to be added

(grams of silver) / (grams of copper and silver) < = .90

387+%2F+%28c+%2B+387%29+%3C=+.9

387+%3C=+.9%28c+%2B+387%29

387+%3C=+.9c+%2B+348.3

.9c+%3E=+387+-+348.3

.9c+%3E=+38.7


c+%3E=+43g

At least 43 grams of copper must be added

check:

387+%2F+%28c+%2B+387%29+%3C=+.9

387+%2F+%2843+%2B+387%29+%3C=+.9

387+%2F+430+%3C=+.9

.9+%3C=+.9

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 15 cm and one of its legs measures 4 cm.
Ann [662]

Answer:

14.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = hypotenuse (15)

to solve for b (other leg), the equation is  b^2 = c^2-a^2

15^2 - 4^2 = 209

\sqrt{209} = approx. 14.5

the other leg is (rounded to the nearest 10th) 14.5 cm
