Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude is one leg of the right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base, and the triangle side. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so you have ...

... (17 cm)² = (altitude)² + (16 cm/2)²

... altitude = √(17² -8²) cm = √225 cm

... altitude = 15 cm

Make c the subject: x=-b+(b²-4ac) divided by 2a The brackets mean square root

kipiarov [429]

$x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\
2ax=-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}\\
\sqrt{b^2-4ac}=2ax+b\\
b^2-4ac=(2ax+b)^2\\
-4ac=4a^2x^2+4abx+b^2-b^2\\
-4ac=4a^2x^2+4abx\\
c=-ax^2-bx$

With a short time remaining in the day a delivery driver has to make deliveries at 5 locations among the 6 locations remaining.

nika2105 [10]

The delivery driver has to make deliveries at 5 locations among the 6 locations. This means the order of the probability is important because the route he will take from A to B is different with A to C.
So, you need to use permutation for this problem. The calculation would be:
6P5= 6!/ (6-5)!= 720 different routes
