If the legs of an isosceles right triangle have a length of ft, the hypotenuse will have a length of?

1 answer:

6 0

Isoceleese means then that 2 sides are equal
right triangle so the legs are equal

a^2+b^2=c^2
the legs aer a and b
in isocoleese, a=b
a^2+a^2=c^2
2a^2=c^2
if isocoleese=a then c=?
solve for c
sqrt both sides
a√2=c

if the legs are x feet, then the hyppotonuse is x√2 feet

Two experiments are defined below. An event is defined for each of the experiments. Experiment I: Corrine rolls a standard six-s

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: The correct answer is option C: Both events are equally likely to occur

Step-by-step explanation: For the first experiment, Corrine has a six-sided die, which means there is a total of six possible outcomes altogether. In her experiment, Corrine rolls a number greater than three. The number of events that satisfies this condition in her experiment are the numbers four, five and six (that is, 3 events). Hence the probability can be calculated as follows;

P(>3) = Number of required outcomes/Number of possible outcomes

P(>3) = 3/6

P(>3) = 1/2 or 0.5

Therefore the probability of rolling a number greater than three is 0.5 or 50%.

For the second experiment, Pablo notes heads on the first flip of a coin and then tails on the second flip. for a coin there are two outcomes in total, so the probability of the coin landing on a head is equal to the probability of the coin landing on a tail. Hence the probability can be calculated as follows;

P(Head) = Number of required outcomes/Number of all possible outcomes

P(Head) = 1/2

P(Head) = 0.5

Therefore the probability of landing on a head is 0.5 or 50%. (Note that the probability of landing on a tail is equally 0.5 or 50%)

From these results we can conclude that in both experiments , both events are equally likely to occur.

Find a unit vector in the direction of the vector left bracket Start 3 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column negative 8 2nd Row 1st Col

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{8}{\sqrt{117} } \\\frac{7}{\sqrt{117} }\\\frac{2}{\sqrt{117} }\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find a unit vector in the direction of:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-8\\7\\2\end{array}\right]$

Unit Vector, $\hat{a}=\dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}}{|\overrightarrow{a}|}$

The Modulus of $\overrightarrow{a}$ = $\sqrt{(-8)^2+7^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{117}$

Therefore, the unit vector of the matrix is given as:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{8}{\sqrt{117} } \\\frac{7}{\sqrt{117} }\\\frac{2}{\sqrt{117} }\end{array}\right]$

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 14xy – 28x – 36y + 48? 2(7x – 6)(y – 2)(3y + 4) 2(7x – 6)(y – 2)(3y – 4) 2[7

Zolol [24]

The expression that is equivalent to 14xy – 28x – 36y + 48 is 2[7x(y-2)-6(3y-4)]

<h3>Factorizing expressions</h3>

Factorization is a way of separating the equations into two separate factors.

Given the expression below;

14xy – 28x – 36y + 48

Group

(14xy – 28x) – (36y + 48)

14x(y - 2) - 12(3y-4)

Factor out the value of 2 from both terms

2[7x(y-2)-6(3y-4)]

Hence the expression that is equivalent to 14xy – 28x – 36y + 48 is 2[7x(y-2)-6(3y-4)]

Please help thank you.

This problem can be completed in 2 ways. Both are acceptable.

Option 1:

This is an isosceles trapezoid that can be divided into a rectangle and two congruent triangles.

The area of the rectangle is the base times the height.

$9 \times 4=36$

The area of one of the triangles is half the base times the height.

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4 = 10$

The other triangle must have that area too.

$36+10+10=56$

The area is 56 square centimeters.

Option 2:

We can use the area formula for the trapezoid.

$A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2} \times h$

Where $b_1$ is the length of the shorter base
and $b_2$ is the length of the longer base
and $h$ is the height.

The length of the shorter base is 9.
The length of the longer base is 9+5+5, or 19.

The height is 4.

$A=\dfrac{9+19}{2} \times 4$

$=56$

Same answer. The area is 56 square centimeters.

Both options are two acceptable ways the problem can be tackled.

Find the values of a and b so that the solution of the linear system is (-9,1).

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we can write -9 instead of x and y=1 instead of 1

so we write solution again

-9a+1b=-31

-9a-1b=-41

-18a=-72

a=4

we should write 4 instead of a

-9(4)+1b=-31

-36+b=-31

b=5

a=4
