Use Pythagorean theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
kogti [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

y^2+8^2=17^2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

y^2+64=289

Step 2: Subtract 64 from both sides.

y^2+64−64=289−64

y^2=225

Step 3: Take square root.  

y=15

stepladder [879]

Gretchen will earn $48 from mowing in 4 hours

Data

  • Amount earned on each lawn = $12
  • Number of hours mowing = 4 hours

<h3>What is Rate</h3>

This is the measure of one unit against another unit. An example of this is speed which is the rate of distance covered to time.

In this case, she mows 1 lawn in each hour and earns $12 on each.

To calculate for 4 hours

4*12=$48

She earns $48 from mowing 4 lawns

The figure shows triangle ABC with medians AF, BD, and CE. Segment AF is extended to H in such a way that segment GH is congruen
attashe74 [19]

Answer: Segment GD is parallel to segment HC.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔAHC

AG=GH (given)...........1

As BD is the median of ΔABC bisecting AC at D

∴AD=DC.........2

⇒\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac{AG}{GH}=1(from 1 and 2)

⇒segment GD is dividing the sides AH and AC  in same ratio.

Therefore by the converse of Basic proportionality theorem,segment GD is parallel to segment HC.

Converse of basic probability theorem states that if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side.

An experiment observing the growth of two germ strand populations finds these patterns.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

R(x) = (1.3)^{3x-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(x) = (1.3)^{x + 9}

B(x) = (1.3)^{4x + 1}

Required

Ratio B(x) to A(x)

This is calculated as:

R(x) = B(x) : A(x)

Express as fraction

R(x) = \frac{B(x) }{A(x)}

Substitute: A(x) = (1.3)^{x + 9} and  B(x) = (1.3)^{4x + 1}

R(x) = \frac{(1.3)^{4x+1}}{(1.3)^{x+9}}

Apply law of indices

R(x) = (1.3)^{4x-x+1-9}

R(x) = (1.3)^{3x-8}

Compare the function ƒ(x) = –x2 + 4x – 5 and the function g(x), whose graph is shown. Which function has a greater absolute maxi
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Answer C:  g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a graphing calculator to graph f(x) = -x^2 + 4x - 5, and by doing so I immedately saw that the vertex of f(x) is at (2, -1).

The absolute max of g(x) is approximately (3.25, 6.1).

The absolute max of f(x) is approximately (2, -1).

Since the y-coordinate of the absolute maximum of g(x) is greater than the y-coordinate of the absolute maximum of f(x), we conclude that Answer C is correct:  g(x) has the greater absolute maximum
