Answer:

\sqrt{514} cm, 8cm, are both options

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle one can find the length of the longest side by using the Pythagorean theorem. So there are two options I can think of that if the triangle is a right triangle will work. First remember what the Pythagorean theorem is : side a^2+side b^2=hypotenuse^2

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. So if the sides that are 15 and 17 cm are not the longest sides then the formula would be:

15^{2} +17^2=c^2\\15^2+17^2=\sqrt{514}cm

But if 17cm is the longest side then:

a^2+15^2=17^2\\8^2+15^2=17^2\\a=8cm

Hope this helps!

PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT Name the x-intercept(s)?<br> A:0 and 4,B:2,C:4,D:0.
harina [27]

Answer:

A. 0 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are simply the values of x when y = 0. In other words it is the points where the line curve intercepts or cuts across the x-axis.

Form the graph given, we can see that at x = 0 and x = 4, the value of y = 0. Simply put, the curve cuts the x-axis at x = 0 and x = 4.

x-intercepts are 0 and 4.
