Answer:

The other length of the leg is 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we have to find what 10 and 6 is squared. 10 x 10 = 100.

6 x 6 = 36. Now since we are trying to find the length of the other leg, we will subtract 100 from 36 and we get 64. Then for the last step, we will figure out what number squared equals 64. Because 8 x 8 = 64, 8 is our answer.

In a parallel circuit, the supply voltage is 120 V, 60 Hz. The resistance is 30 Ω and the inductive reactance is 40 Ω. What is t

kvasek [131]

Given : supply voltage = 120V;60 Hz

Inductive Reactance $(X_{L}) = 40$ Ω

The inductive reactance is given by the formula, $X_{L}=Lw$ , where L is inductance and $w$ is given by formula, $w = 2\pi(frequency)$

Apply this, we can say that, $L = \frac{X_{L}}{2\pi (frequency)} = \frac{40}{2(3.14)(60)} = 0.106157 H = 106.157 mH$

The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression r

Blababa [14]

Answer:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

$y=ab^x$

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).

Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^x)\\\\After\ ten\ years(x=10*12\ months=120\ months):\\\\y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$
