Answer:

about 15.6cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got my answer of 15.6cm because I did the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

The values of "a" and "b" are the legs of the triangle, and the value of "c" is the hypotenuse. So, the equation with the values given is 9^2+b^2=18^2.

Simplified is 81+b^2=324. Next, you have to subtracted 81 on each side, so you have "b" by itself. b^2=243. Now, I know that b^2= 243. Next, find the square root of 243. The square root of 243 is 15.58845727. This value rounded to the nearest tenth is about 15.6.

In conclusion, the measure of the other leg is about 15.6cm.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

for\ five\ hours = 300\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Waiting time = 5 hours.

We need to find the number of minutes for 5 hours.

Solution:

We know that 60 minutes for each hour, so one hour is equal to 60 minutes.

For one hour = 60\ minutes

For five hours = 5\times 60

for\ five\ hours = 300\ min

Therefore, you will have to wait 300 minutes in a line.

I’m confused someone explain please

Answer:

3(x - 12)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² - 30x - 72 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(x² - 10x - 24) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 12 and + 2 , since

- 12 × 2 = - 24 and - 12 + 2 = - 10 , thus

x² - 10x - 24 = (x - 12)(x + 2) and

3x² - 30x - 72 = 3(x - 12)(x + 2)
