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

For the function f(x)=-3x+2, find f(2)=
dsp73

Answer: f(2) = -4

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function f(x) = -3x + 2 and we are asked to find f(2).

In other words, if we put an <em>x</em> into our function, we get a -3x + 2 out so what happens when we put a 2 into the function?

Well if we put a 2 into the function,

that's f(2) and we get -3(2) + 2 out.

Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.

-3(2) is -6 so we have -6 + 2 which is -4.

So f(2) is -4.

I need help with math xl please! See attached
Elden [556K]

I had to answer a question similar to that one on Math XL. This question was about renting a truck instead of needing a 48 mile taxi. (Took me a long time just to find the truck question, but I am giving you the truck help me answer the question, in hopes that it will help you.)

The cost of renting a truck from Hamilton Auto Rental is ​$47.60 per day plus ​$0.15 per mile. The expression 47.60 plus 0.15 m represents the cost of renting a truck for one day and driving it m miles. Evaluate 47.60 plus 0.15 m for m equals 120.


Substitute the numerical value for each variable into the expression and simplify the result.


I am sorry if that didn't help you, but it was the closest thing I could find to use to help you.

solve for the indicated variable. include all of your work in your answer. submit your solution. P=2L+2W; for L.
allochka39001 [22]
We have this equation:

P=2L+2W

So, we need to solve this equation for L. Then we sum -2W in each member of the equation, like this:

P-2W=2L+2W-2W
P-2W=2L

Then, dividing the equation by 2:

\frac{P-2W}{2}=L

Finally, let's order this equation:


L=\frac{P-2W}{2}
