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.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

bus = 43

van 12

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using simultaneous equations

Let v represent the number of students that a van carries

Let b represent the number of students that a bus carries

the following equations can be derived from the question

3v + 2b = 122 eqn 1

5v + 3b = 189  eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3

15v + 10b = 610  eqn 3

15v + 9b = 567 eqn 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

b = 43

Substitute for b in equation 1

3v + 2(43) = 122

solve for v

v = 12

State the open intervals over which the function is (a) increasing, (b) decreasing or (c) constant
ipn [44]

Answer:

a. [-3, 4]

b. (-inf, -3]

c. [4, inf)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our intervals will represent the x-values

We know that since there's an arrow pointing to the left of the line that it goes on infinitely

Same thing when the arrow is going to the right

Then we can just looking at the x-values on the graph for the intervals where it starts and stops

Hope this helps

Best of luck
