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

Diego works at a warehouse that ships two types of packages, a red package weighing 4 pounds and a blue package weighing 6 pound
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red =x   Blue = y

1)  4x + 6y = 180

2)  x + y = 40

solve for x in eq. 2 and plug into eq. 1

2a)  x=40-y

1a)  4(40-y) + 6y = 180

160-4y +6y = 180

2y=20

y=10

plug into eq. 2

x + 10 =40

x=30

30 red packages

;)  maybe a late Christmas gift.. :D

What is the 8th term of this geometric sequence. 8, 4, 2, 1, ....
Bond [772]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term is half the one before it, so the eighth term is 1/2^7 * 8 or 1/16. So 1/16 can be written as 0.0625 or D.

Solve for x: 4 over 5 x + 4 over 3 = 2x x = __________________ Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use the "/" sym
alexgriva [62]
Let's see.

4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x

First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15

Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15

With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x

20 = 18x

10 = 9x

X= 10/9

If f (x)=3x, g(x)=x-3, and h(x)= square root of x, find (fogoh)(25)
Lelu [443]
(f o g o h)(x) = f { g [ h(x) ] }

Which means: apply first function h, then apply function g to the result, and finally apply  function f to the new result.

h(25) = √25 = 5

g(5) = 5  - 3 = 2

f(2) = 3(2) = 6.
