A=7.5 B=30 C=15 square of 2 D= 15

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Sheridan's Work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

where

a and b are the legs

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

In this problem

Let

$a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm$

substitute

$13^{2}=7^{2}+b^{2}$

Solve for b

$169=49+b^{2}$

$b^{2}=169-49$

$b^{2}=120$

$b=\sqrt{120}\ cm$

$b=10.95\ cm$

we have that

Jayden's Work

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$a=7\ cm\\b=13\ cm$

substitute and solve for c

$7^{2}+13^{2}=c^{2}$

$49+169=c^{2}$

$218=c^{2}$

$c=\sqrt{218}\ cm$

$c=14.76\ cm$

Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle

Sheridan's Work

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm$

substitute

$7^{2}+b^{2}=13^{2}$

Solve for b

$49+b^{2}=169$

$b^{2}=169-49$

$b^{2}=120$

$b=\sqrt{120}\ cm$

$b=10.95\ cm$

therefore

Sheridan's Work is correct

El jardinero de un parque planta flores siguiendo cierto patrón. En la primera fila planta 4 flores, en la segunda 7 y así suces

nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) Para $i = 4$ , hay 13 flores en la fila 4.

b) Para $i = 7$ , hay 22 flores en la fila 7.

c) La fila 11 tiene 34 flores.

Step-by-step explanation:

De acuerdo con el enunciado, cada fila tiene tres flores más que la fila inmediatamente anterior, significando que se puede determinar el número de flores de cada fila mediante una serie aritmética:

$n = 4+3\cdot (i-1)$ , $i \ge 1$ (1)

Donde:

$i$ - Índice de la fila de flores.

$n$ - Número de flores del índice de la fila de flores.

a) Para $i = 4$ , hay 13 flores en la fila 4.

b) Para $i = 7$ , hay 22 flores en la fila 7.

c) Si $n = 34$ , entonces el índice de la fila es:

$i=1+\frac{n-4}{3}$

$i = 11$

La fila 11 tiene 34 flores.

Daily twos:

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

9 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Strategy: first cancel the fraction part of the mixed number, then subtract the remaining fraction from the integer obtained.

10 1/2 - 3/4 = 10 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/4

= 10 -1/4

= 9 3/4

__

Strategy: turn the subtracted fraction into a whole number by adding 1/4 to both parts of the problem, then subtract the whole number.

10 1/2 - 3/4 = (10 1/2 +1/4) -(3/4 +1/4)

= 10 3/4 -1

= 9 3/4

_____

We assume that you know that 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4, or 3/4 -1/2 = 1/4. If you need to, you can get there by using the equivalent: 1/2 = 2/4.

A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.

Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.

A: 2x + y = 5

y = 5 - 2x

y = -2x + 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.

B: y = 2x + 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.

C: 2x - 4y = 10

-4y = 10 - 2x

-4y = -2x + 10

y = 2/4x -10/4

Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.

D: 2y - 4x = -10

2y = =10 + 4x

2y = 4x - 10

y = 2x - 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.

Thus, D is the best choice.
