A certain right triangle has area 30 in. squared . one leg of the triangle measures 1 in. less than the hypotenuse. let x repres

ent the length of the hypotenuse. ​a) express the length of the leg mentioned above in terms of x. give the domain of x. ​b) express the length of the other leg in terms of x. ​c) write an equation based on the information determined thus far. square both sides and then write the equation with one side as a polynomial with integer​ coefficients, in descending​ powers, and the other side equal to 0. divide out any common factors to find the most simplified form. ​d) solve the equation in part​ (c) graphically. find the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.

A) The length of the longer leg is x-1

b) Based on the area, the other leg is 2*30/(x -1). Based on the Pythagorean theorem, the other leg is √(x^2 -(x -1)^2).

c) Equating the two expressions for the shorter leg, we have
.. 60/(x -1) = √(2x -1)
.. 3600/(x -1)^2 = (2x -1)
.. (2x -1)(x^2 -2x +1) = 3600
.. 2x^3 -5x^2 +4x -3601 = 0

d) There is one positive real root, at x=13. A graphical solution works well.

The three sides of the triangle are 5 in, 12 in, 13 in.

Find the distance between the points (1, 7) and (10, 1)<br> Please help:)
klio [65]

Answer:

<em>The distance between the points (1, 7) and (10, 1) is 10.82 units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance between two points </u>

The distance between points A(x,y) B(w,z) can be calculated with the formula:

d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}

We are given the points (1,7) and (10,1), let's use their values and compute the required distance:

d=\sqrt{(1-7)^2+(10-1)^2}

d=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(9)^2}

d=\sqrt{36+81}=\sqrt{117}\approx 10.82

The distance between the points (1, 7) and (10, 1) is 10.82 units

Write an equation of the line that passes through the origin and
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of this new line will be the same as the given one.

For a line to pass through the origin it needs to have a y intercept of 0, because the origin is the point (0,0).

According to the triangle proportionality theorem, which proportion is correct?
vfiekz [6]

According to triangle proportionality theorem:

If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then the line divides these two sides proportionally.

And in the given triangle, MN parallel to BC, So MN divided the two sides in proportion, that is

\frac{MB}{AM}=\frac{NC}{AN}

Correct option is the third option .
