What is the length of the missing side

Mathematics

Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +15^2 = 17^2

a^2 +225 = 289

Subtract 225 from each side

a^2 +225-225=289-225

a^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)

a = 8

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find that the missing side length is \sqrt{17^2-15^2}=8 units. Hope this helps!

Find the height of the prism if the length is 9 inches, the width is 5 inches, and the volume of the prism is 315 cubic inches.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Height of prism = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of prism.

Hence,

h =  \frac{vol \: of \: prism}{l \times w}  \\  \\  =  \frac{315}{9 \times 5}  \\  \\  =  \frac{315}{45}  \\   \\ h= 7 \: inches

Y=2x-4 <br> What is the five ordered pairs and completing the input/output table
kati45 [8]

Answer:

{(0, -4), (1, -2), (2, 0), (3, 2), (4, 4)}

<u>Input values (x)</u> = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

<u>Output values (y)</u> = {-4, -2, 0, 2, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = 2x - 4, you could practically choose any input value (for x), to have an output value (for y).

If x = 0:

y = 2(0) - 4

y = 0 - 4

y = -4

First ordered pair: y-intercept =  (0, -4)

If x = 1:

y = 2(1) - 4

y= 2 - 4

y = -2

Second ordered pair: (1, -2).

If x = 2:

y = 2(2) - 4

y= 4 - 4

y = 0

Third ordered pair: x-intercept =  (2, 0).

If x = 3:

y = 2(3) - 4

y = 6 - 4

y = 2

Fourth ordered pair: (3, 2).

If x = 4:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

Fifth ordered pair: (4, 4).

Your input values (x) = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Your output values (y) = {-4, -2, 0, 2, 4}
