Answer:

12√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem here:

(12 cm)^2 + (12 cm)^2 = 288 cm^2.  

The length of the hypotenuse is √288 = (√4)(√72) = 2(√36)(√2) = 12√2

Given that both legs of a 45, 45, and 90 degree triangle are 12cm, find out the length of the hypotenuse.

To solve for the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula to find the hypotenuse is:

a^2 + b^2 = c ^2

We already know that both legs are 12cm, so we can plug them in.

12^2 + 12^2 = c^2

Solve.

144 + 144 = c^2

Add.

288 = c^2

Find the square root of 288.

sqrt(288) = 16.97

Therefore, the square root of 288 is 16.97

If we round 16.97 to 17 and then square it, that would equal 289.

So, the best choice is to leave it as 16.97.

Thus, the length of the hypotenuse is 16.97 or 17 if you want to round it.

How do you determine which variable is independent<br> and which one is independent?
Alex17521 [72]
Answer: An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable.

Which of the equations below represents
Ray Of Light [21]

The equation that represents the graph of the ellipse is x² / 4 + y² / 100 = 1. (Correct choice: D)

<h3>What is the equation of the ellipse represented in the graph?</h3>

Herein we have a representation of an ellipse in the image attached aside, ellipses are characterized by the following <em>standard</em> formula:

(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1     (1)

Where:

  • (h, k) - Coordinates of the center
  • a, b - Lengths of the semiaxes

Please notice that ellipse will be vertical if b > a, otherwise it will be horizontal. The graph exhibits a <em>vertical</em> ellipse centered at the origin and therefore we conclude that (h, k) = (0, 0) and b > a (b = 10, a = 2). Finally, the equation that represents the graph of the ellipse is x² / 4 + y² / 100 = 1. (Correct choice: D)

pat needs 14 sticks of pepperoni to make 28 pizzas.How many sticks of pepperoni are needed to make 36 pizzas
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

18 sticks of pepperoni

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to find out how many pepperoni sticks are needed for just 1 pizza. If it takes 14 sticks to make 28 pizzas, that means it takes only half a stick to make a single pizza.

Now that we have this information, we can multiply 1/2 by 36 to find out how many sticks of pepperoni are needed to make 36 pizzas.

\frac{1}{2} * 36\\\\\frac{1}{2} * \frac{36}{1} \\ =\\\frac{36}{2} \\ =\\\frac{18}{1}

Therefore, it takes 18 sticks of pepperoni to make 36 pizzas. I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)

x - 2y = 3 5x + 3y = 2 The lines whose equations are shown intersect at which point? (1, -1) (-1, 1) (0, 3/2)
gtnhenbr [62]
I would solve the first equation for x and then sub that value into x in the second equation.  That's the easiest way.  x - 2y = 3 solved for x is x = 2y+3.  Now sub that in for x in the second equation: 5(2y+3)+3y=2 and 10y + 15 + 3y = 2.  13y = -13, and y = -1.  Now sub that y value into either equation to solve for x: x = 2(-1) + 3 gives us an x value of x = 1.  Therefore, your solution to this system is (1, -1), first choice above.
