Answer:

hypotenuse = 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse, by the Pythagoras theorem, is the square-root of the sum of the square of the two short sides.

Hypotenuse

= sqrt(3²+4²)

=sqrt(9+16)

=sqrt(25)

=sqrt(5²)

=5

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the hypotenuse is a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2},

with a and be being the two shorter sides of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse.

Let's plug in our values for a and b and solve.

4^{2} + 3^{2} = c^{2}

16 + 9 = c^{2}

25 = c^{2}

What is the square root of 25? 5.

The length of the hypotenuse is 5 inches.

The midpoint of line segment AB is (-2,1). If the coordinates of B are (0,2) what are the coordinates of A?
Whitepunk [10]

The required coordinate of A will be at (-4, 0)

When a point bisects a line, it cuts the line into two equal parts and the point on that line is known as its midpoint. The expression for calculating the midpoint of a line is expressed as;

M(X, Y)= [{ \frac{x_2+x_1}{2} , \frac{y_2+y_1}{2} ] where:

X =\frac{x_2+x_1}{2} \\Y=\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}

From the question, we are given the following coordinate points

X=-2\\x_1=0\\

Get x₂;

X =\frac{x_2+x_1}{2}\\-2 =\frac{x_2+0}{2}\\2 \times -2=x_2+0\\-4=x_2\\ Swap\\x_2=-4\\

Get y₂;

Y =\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\\1 =\frac{y_2+2}{2}\\2 \times 1=y_2+2\\2=y_2+2\\y_2=2-2\\y_2=0

Hence the coordinate of A will be (-4, 0)

a box was measured with a degree of accuracy to the nearest 2cm; 24cm x 24cm x 20cm. what is the largest possible volume of the
DochEvi [55]
For any value, e.g. a, to the nearest x units, the upper and lower bounds are:
(a + x/2) and (a - x/2)
For your question, there are three dimensions so:
Dealing with the first one, we have 24 cm to the nearest 2 cm so the boundaries are:
Upper boundary: 24 + 2/2 = 25
Lower boundary: 24 - 2/2 = 23
The second dimension is the same as the first in value and is also given to the nearest 2 cm so the boundaries are the same as for the first.
The third dimension is 20 cm to the nearest 2 cm so the boundaries are:
Upper boundary: 20 + 2/2 = 21
Lower boundary: 20 - 2/2 = 19

To get the largest possible area, we take the upper bounds of all the dimensions and multiply them so:
25 * 25 * 21 = 13125 cm³

Will mark brainliest please help me Explain step by step how to find the equation of a line that goes through the points ( 7, 2
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the ordered pairs into the slope formula x=y2-y1/x2-x1 then you will get your slope of the line. once you have your slope pick an ordered pair and put it in point slope y-y1=m(x-x1) distribute and you will get your answer.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Total amount she spent on the posters = $43.2  +  $10.8  = $54

Step-by-step explanation:

Lila bought a green poster that measured 36 inches by 24 inches and a red poster that measured 12 inches by 18 inches. The posters cost per square inch is $0.05 .

To know how much she spend on the posters one have to convert the measured values of the posters to square inches(area).

Green poster  

area of rectangle = Lb

area of rectangle = 36 × 24

area of rectangle = 864 square inch

since 1 square inch = $0.05

864 square inch = ?

cross multiply

864 × 0.05 = $43.2

Red posters

area of rectangle = Lb

area of rectangle = 12 × 18

area of rectangle = 216  square inches

since 1 square inch = $0.05

864 square inch = ?

cross multiply

216 × 0.05 = $10.8

Total amount she spent on the posters = $43.2  +  $10.8  = $54
