Answer:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + b^2 = 5^2
9 + b^2 = 25
b = _/16
b = 4

Answer:

The length of the other leg will be = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use your Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of the other leg.

Hypotenuse^2=a^2+b^2

since you are given the length of the hypotenuse and one leg you can change the formula to:

b^2 = h^2 - a^2

b = √h^2-a^2

b=√5^2-3^2

b=√25-9

b=√16

b=4

What is the perimeter of rectangle with vertices located at (- 3, - 1), (5, - 1), (5, 9) and (- 3, 9) on the coordinate ?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

32 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the width and the length:

One side = √[(-1 - (-1)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2]

= √(0 + 64)

= 8.

The adjacent side = √(9-9)^2 + (-3-5)^2

= 8.

Perimeter - 4 *8 = 32 units^2.

Part A: If (7^2)^x=1, what is the value of x?<br> Part B: If (7^0)^x=1, what is the value of x?

Fantom [35]

A.
(7^2)^x = 1
(49)^x = 1
thus x = 0

B.
<span>(7^0)^x=1
(1)^x = 1
thus x can be any real number.

A half-filled cylindrical water tank has a water level of 20 feet high. The tank can hold 6000 cubic feet of water. Find the dia

Anettt [7]

Answer:

d = 13.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are talking about cubic feet of water, we need the formula for the VOLUME of a cylinder. That formula is

$V=\pi r^2h$

We will use 3.141592654 for pi; if the tank HALF filled with water is at 20 feet, then the height of the tank is 40 feet, so h = 40; and the volume it can hold in total is 6000 cubic feet. Filling in then gives us:

$6000=(3.141592654)(r^2)(40)$
