Answer: 20

Step 1: Define hypotenuse

In any right triangle, there are two legs and one hypotenuse. The legs are the two sides that intersect to show the right angle. The hypotenuse is the longest side, one that is easily found when using Pythagorean Theorem.

Step 2: Define Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the hypotenuse, with the formula
a^2+b^2=c^2
The hypotenuse is represented as the letter c, and the legs are shown with a and b. Keep in mind that ^2 is a way to show that a variable is squared.

Step 3: Solve for hypotenuse

To find the hypotenuse, simple use the information above to substitute the variables for numbers. The only variable that will not be filled in is c, as we are trying to find the hypotenuse.

*Rewrite equation*

a^2+b^2=c^2

*Fill in a and b*

16^2+12^2=c^2

*Multiply 16 by 16; Multiply 12 by 12*

256+144=c^2

*Add numbers on the left side of the equation*

400=c^2

*Get c alone on the right side by finding the square root of 400 and c^2*

√400= √c^2

20=c

In an equilateral triangle, the measure of each angle is 60 degrees. Then the value of x and y is 17/3 and 65.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

In trianlge ΔMNP, PM = 3x - 4, MN = 14, ∠N = 5y - 5.

In an equilateral triangle, all the sides and all the angles are equal.

MN = NP = PM

∠M = ∠N = ∠P

Then we have

   PM = MN

3x - 4 = 14

      x = 17/3

We know in an equilateral triangle, the measure of each angle is 60 degrees. Then we have

    ∠N = 60

5y - 5 = 60

    5y = 65

      y = 13

A new experimental strain of pepper plants was being studied to estimate how much fruit one plant would produce in a typical gro
zmey [24]

Answer:

58.9% produced produced peppers weighing between 13 and 16 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 15

Standard Deviation, σ = 1.75

We are given that the distribution of weight of peppers is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(peppers weighing between 13 and 16 pounds)

P(13 \leq x \leq 16) = P(\displaystyle\frac{13 - 15}{1.75} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{16-15}{1.75}) = P(-1.142\leq z \leq 0.571)\\\\= P(z \leq 0.571) - P(z < -1.142)\\= 0.716 - 0.127 = 0.589 = 58.9\%

P(13 \leq x \leq 16) = 58.9\%

58.9% produced produced peppers weighing between 13 and 16 pounds.

F(x) = 2-4<br> Find f(2)
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off, x is 2-4. So that's the default. It would be -2. If you multiply -2 by 2, it is -4.

The incline of a roller coaster is 2 times as long as its elevation, and the horizontal length of the roller coaster is 11 m mor
Gelneren [198K]
Let 
x-------> t<span>he horizontal length of the roller coaster
y------> </span>the elevation of the roller coaster
c------> t<span>he incline of a roller coaster
</span>
we know that
applying the Pythagoras theorem
c²=x²+y²-----> equation 1
c=2y-----> equation 2
x=11+y----> equation 3

substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[2y]²=(11+y)²+y²
4y²=11²+22y+y²+y²
2y²-22y-121=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is 
y=15.026 m

c=2*y-----> c=2*15.026----> c=30.052 m

the answer is
30.05 m
