Lilit [14]2 years ago

\huge\bold{Given:}

Length of the base = 8

Length of the hypotenuse = 17

\huge\bold{To\:find:}

The length of the third side ''x".

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Solution}}{\orange{:}}}}}

\longrightarrow{\purple{x\:=\: 15}} 

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²

\longrightarrow{\blue{}} {x}^{2} + (8)² = (17)²

\longrightarrow{\blue{}} {x}^{2} + 64 = 289

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  {x}^{2} = 289 - 64

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  {x}^{2} = 225

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  x = \sqrt{225}

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  x = 15

Therefore, the length of the missing side x is 15.

\huge\bold{To\:verify :}

\longrightarrow{\green{}} (15)² + (8)² = (17)²

\longrightarrow{\green{}} 225 + 64 = 289

\longrightarrow{\green{}} 289 = 289

\longrightarrow{\green{}} L.H.S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.

What is the discriminant of the polynomial below?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Let d = discriminant

d = b^2 - 4ac

Let a = 2, b = 4 and c = -9

We now plug and chug.

d = (4)^2 - 4(2)(-9)

d = 16 - 8(-9)

d = 16 + 72

d = 88
