Mathematics

Answer:

17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

Plug in the values of the legs

8^2+15^2=c^2\\64+225=c^2\\289=c^2\\c=\sqrt{289} \\c=17

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 17 cm.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h^2=x^2+y^2, in this case

h^2=8^2+15^2

h^2=64+225

h^2=289

h=17cm

There are three consecutive integers, such that six times the first, minus two times the second, equals the third integer plus f
frozen [14]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Integers : x, x + 1, x + 2

6x - 2(x + 1) = (x+2) + 5

6x - 2x - 2 = x + 2 + 5

4x - 2 = x + 7

4x - x = 7 + 2

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

First integer = x = 3

2nd integer = x + 1 = 3+1 = 4

3rd Integer = x + 1 + 1 = 3 + 2 = 5

Without actually carrying out the steps of multiplication, determine whether the product of 15.1 and 0.9 will be larger or small
yan [13]

Answer: Smaller

Step-by-step explanation: The product of 15.1 and 0.9 will be smaller than 15.1. This is because 0.9 is smaller than 1 and since 15.1 * 1 is 15.1, we know that anything smaller than 1 will result in the product of it and 15.1 being smaller.

In the figure LMV is similar to UTK. what's the value of x the length of side LM?​
Kipish [7]

To solve this problem, all we need to do is just set up a proportion. The two shapes are similar, which means that they are the same shape, but different sizes. Using the wording/letter arrangement in the problem, we can figure out which side of one triangle corresponds to which side of the other triangle.

Triangle LMV (with segments LM, MV, and VL) is similar to triangle UTK (with segments UT, TK, and KU).

Corresponding pairs:

LM(x) : UT(39)

MV(30) : TK(65)

VL : KU

However, we need only be interested in the first two pairs. Here is the proportion with letters:

LM / UT = MV / TK

and as numbers:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Solve for x:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Cross multiply:

(x)(65) = (39)(30)

Simplify:

65x = 1170

Divide:

65x/65 = 1170 / 65

Simplify:

x = 18

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of side LM (x) in triangle LMV is 18 units.
