Answer:

12.04 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras in general :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

a and b are the side legs.

so, in our example here

17² = 12² + b²

289 = 144 + b²

145 = b²

b = sqrt(145) = 12.04 cm

What is the slope intercept of a line perpendicular to the line y=2x+3 with the point (-2,-4)
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = 2x + 3 is in this form with slope m = 2

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{2}

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 1 = - 5

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 5 ← equation of perpendicular line

Find the value of x in this figure
Airida [17]
Answer: 13

Explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem:
=> a^2 + b^2 = c^2
=> 5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
=> 25 + 144 = c^2
=> 169 = c^2

Take the square root of both sides:
=> sqrt(169) = sqrt (c^2)
=> 13 = c
