What is the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle?

Mathematics

OLEGan [10]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>The leg missing is 15 meters long.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that one leg of the triangle is 20 meters long, the hypothenuse is 25 meters long, and the leg missing is called <em>b</em>.

To solve this problem, we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem

25^{2}=20^{2}+b^{2}\\ b=\sqrt{25^{2}-20^{2}}\\ b=\sqrt{625-400} =\sqrt{225}\\ b=15

Therefore, the leg missing is 15 meters long.

Answer:

we will use Pythagorean's Theorem

25^{2}=20^{2}+b^{2}\\\\ b=\sqrt{25^{2}-20^{2}}\\\\ b=\sqrt{625-400} =\sqrt{225}\\\\ b=15

Therefore, the missing leg is  15 meters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use pythagoras theorem

Given that,

One leg of the triangle is 20 meters long,

the hypothenuse is 25 meters long,

and the leg missing is called x.

we will use Pythagorean's Theorem

25^{2}=20^{2}+b^{2}\\\\ b=\sqrt{25^{2}-20^{2}}\\\\ b=\sqrt{625-400} =\sqrt{225}\\\\ b=15

Therefore, the missing leg is  15 meters long.

Which of the quadratic functions has the narrowest graph? y = –2x2 y=-1/2x^2 y = –4x2 y=1/7x^2
vovikov84 [41]
Look at the coefficient of x², ignore the positive or negative sign. The larger the coefficient, the narrower the graph. 
in this case, the coefficients are -2, -1/2, -4, and 1/7
ignore the positive or negative sign, 4 is the largest number, so y=-4x² is the narrowest.

Note: the positive/negative sign tells you whether the graph opens upward or downward. It doesn't determine the width of the graph.

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation –2 = –x + x2 – 4 into the quadratic formula? Qu
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

a  =  1

b =  -1

c =  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We reorder the equation in such way that let us see the usual

ax² + bx + c = 0

Then the original quation is:

-2 = - x + x² - 4               ⇒  0 = 2 - x + x² - 4        ⇒ x² - x  - 2  = 0

Now we are able by simply inspection to identify a, b . c comparing our equation with the general equation so :

a  =  1

b =  -1

c =  -2
