Answer: 5..6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse of isosceles triangle is 8 inches

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal

Suppose the other side is x

Using Pythagoras we can write

\Rightarrow x^2+x^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=64\\\Rightarrow x^2=32\\\Rightarrow x=4\sqrt{2}\approx 5.6\ in.

Therefore, the lengths of the legs is 5.6 inches

You are designing a rectangular swimming pool that is to be sent into the ground. The width of the pool is 5 feet more than the
Vikentia [17]

Answer:  depth = 5 ft

width =  10 ft

length =  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

d =  depth

width = d + 5

length = d + 36

Volume = length x width x depth = 2000 cf

d(d+35)(d+5) = 2000

d(d^{2} + 40d + 175) = 2000

d^3 + 40d^2 + 175d = 2000

rewrite in standard cubic polynomial form : ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0

d^3 + 40(d^2) + 175d - 2000 = 0

Find the roots of the cubic polynomial:

factors of 2000 are 1, 5, 10 15, 20, etc.

Try the factor 5 first by plugging it in the equation:

5^3 + 40(5^2) + 175(5) - 2000 = 0  

Lucky break!  No need to find the other roots because they will be negative, and you can't have a negative value for a pool depth.

So, depth = 5 ft

width = 5 + 5 = 10 ft

length = 5 + 35 = 40 ft

As it says he keeps 'pairs' of shoes so the answer has to be an even 'number' - ie B, C and E are all possible answers.

The plutonium isotope has half life
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The different isotopes have different "half-lives" – the time it takes to lose half of its radioactivity. Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years and Pu-241's half-life is 14.4 years. Substances with shorter half-lives decay more quickly than those with longer half-lives, so they emit more energetic radioactivity.

Solve the linear equation:<br><br> x-y=7<br><br> 0.5x+y=5
evablogger [386]

Add the equations.

x-y%2B0.5x%2By=7%2B5

1.5x=12

 

highlight%28x=8%29

Now use either equation to solve for y.

8-y=7

highlight%28y=1%29

x=8

y=1
