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.

There are 17 kites in a kite-flying contest at the beach. There are 3 times as many box kites as butterfly kites. There are 2 mo
alina1380 [7]
C is your answer. 5x + 2 = 17

First let’s get them all in terms of x:
Box kites = 3x
Dragon kites = x + 2
Butterfly kites = x

Adding all those up:

x + 3x + x + 2 = 17
Combine like terms:
5x + 2 = 17

Identify the constant of proportionality for each direct variation below.
andriy [413]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of 2 quantities in direct proportion is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality

1

y = - 4x ← in standard form

with k = - 4

2

\frac{y}{x} = 2 ( multiply both sides by x )

y = 2x ← in standard form

with k = 2

3

\frac{x}{y} = 3 ( multiply both sides by y )

x = 3y ( divide both sides by 3 )

\frac{1}{3} x = y ← in standard form

with k = \frac{1}{3}
