A right triangle has legs of lengths 6 and 15 inches. Find the length of the hypotenuse (nearest tenth).

1 answer:

zubka84 [21]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 16.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

$c^{2} = 6^{2} + 15^{2}$

$c^{2} = 36 + 225$

$c^{2} = 261$

$\sqrt{c^{2} } = \sqrt{261}$

$c = 16.2$

34. For the following exercises, given each set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible.

skad [1K]

Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-1,4) and (5,2), is written in the point-slope form as $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-1,4) and (5,2).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-1,4) and (5,2). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute 2&4 for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and $5 \&-1$ for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,

$m=\frac{2-4}{5-(-1)}$\\ $m=\frac{-2}{6}$\\ $m=-\frac{1}{3}$$

Step 2 of 3

Write the linear equation in point-slope form.

A linear equation in point slope form is given as,

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ for m,-1 for $x_{1}$ , and 4 for $y_{1}$ in the above equation and simplify using the distributive property as follows,

$y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-1))$\\ $y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$\\ $y-4=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}$$

Step 3 of 3

Simplify the equation further.

Add 4 on each side of the equation $y-4=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}$ , and simplify as follows,

$y-4+4=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}+4$\\ $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1+12}{3}$\\ $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$$

This is the required linear equation.

Noah's Café sells special blends of coffee mixtures. Noah wants to create a 20-pound mixture with coffee that sells for $9.20 pe

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Noah needs 8 pounds of the coffee that costs $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of the coffee that costs $5.50 per pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 9.20 be x while the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 5.5 be y.

From the question, we know he wants to make 20 pounds of coffee

Thus;

x + y = 20 •••••••••••(i)

Let’s now work with the values

For the $9.20 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total will be 9.20 * x = $9.20x

For the $5.5 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total be 5.5 * y = $5.5y

The total cost is 20 pounds at $6.98 per pound: that would be 20 * 6.98 = $139.6

Thus by adding the two costs together we have a total of $139.6

So we have our second equation;

9.2x + 5.5y = 139.6 •••••••(ii)

From i, y = 20 - x

Let’s substitute this in ii

9.2x + 5.5(20-x) = 139.6

9.2x + 110 -5.5x = 139.6

9.2x -5.5x = 139.6-110

3.7x = 29.6

x = 29.6/3.7

x = 8 pounds

Recall;

y = 20 - x

y = 20-8

y = 12 pounds
