Answer:

A leg

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest leg of a triangle, and the hypotenuse is across the greatest angle, which is the 90 degree angle in this case. Thus, side "a" is a leg.

Solve for x −9x+5≤17 OR 13x+25≤−1

arsen [322]

Answer:

(-∞ 2] ∪ [-4/3 ∞ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given compound inequality,

$-9x+5\leq 17\text{ or }13x+25\leq -1$

$-9x\leq 12\text{ or }13x\leq -26$ ( Subtraction property of inequality )

$-x\leq \frac{12}{9}\text{ or }x\leq -\frac{26}{13}$ ( Division property of inequality )

$-x\leq \frac{4}{3}\text{ or }x\leq -2$

$x\geq -\frac{4}{3}\text{ or }x\leq -2$ ( a < b ⇒ - a > - b )

Hence, the solution of the given inequality is,

(-∞ -2] ∪ [-4/3 ∞ )
