In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21

Solve for X.........
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hey there!

There is this equation, which states that the angle created by an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc.

Thus, we can write: 60=5x-5

65=5x

x=13

Let me know if this helps :)

Logarithm 2. The alkalinity of a fluid (pH) can be modeled in terms of its hydrogen ion concentration (H^+,measured in moles/lit
makkiz [27]

ok. We are given the following equation:

ph=-\log (H)

Where:

\begin{gathered} P=\text{ alkalinity} \\ H=\text{ hydrogen ion concentration} \end{gathered}

Since we are asked to determine "H" we will solve for "H" in the equation. To do that we will first multiply both sides by -1:

-ph=\log (H)

Now, we will use the following property of logarithms:

\log _aB=c\rightarrow B=a^c

Applying the property and having into account that:

\log (H)=\log _{10}(H)

We get:

10^{-pH}=H

Now we substitute the given value of "pH = 4.5":

10^{-4.5}=H

Solving the operation:

0.000032=H

Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration of the fluid is 0.000032
