Answer:

h = 6.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC is a right triangle with the measures of the two sides,

BC = \frac{10}{2} = 5 units

AC = 8 units

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given triangle,

AC² = AB² + BC²

8² = AB² + 5²

AB² = 64 - 25

AB = √39

AB = 6.24 units

AB ≈ 6.2 units

The radius of a clock face is 8.5 centimeters. what is circumfe0rence of clock?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The circumference of clock is, 53.38 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference(C) of the circle is given by:

C = 2 \pi r          ....[1]

where, r is the radius of the circle.

As per the statement:

the radius of a clock face is 8.5 centimeters

⇒r = 8.5 cm

Use\pi = 3.14

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

C = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 8.5

Simplify:

C = 53.38 cm

Therefore,  the circumference of clock is, 53.38 cm

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

First term: 5

Fourth term: 5 1/2

Tenth term: 6 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the first, fourth and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule:

A(n) = 5 + (n-1) (1/6)

First term:

A(1) = 5 + (1-1) (1/6)

A(1) = 5 + (0) (1/6)

A(1) = 5

Fourth term:

A(4) = 5 + (4-1) (1/6)

A(4) = 5 + (3) (1/6)

A(4) = 5 + 3/6 = 5 3/6 = 5 1/2 (simplifying)

Tenth term:

A(10) = 5 + (10-1) (1/6)

A(10) = 5 + (9) (1/6)

A (10) = 5 + 9/6 = 6 3/6 = 6 1/2 (simplifying)

Which is the simplified form of the expression (6-4)-9
Veseljchak [2.6K]

I'll give you a hint. <u><em>You had to used pemdas stands for: p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtracting.</em></u>

First you had to calculate with parenthesis first.

(6-4)=2-9

Then you add and subtract from left to right.

2-9=-7

Final answer \boxed{=-7}

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.
