Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is always the longest segment on a triangle. If the lengths of the sides of this triangle are 3 units, 4 units, and 5 units, the hypotenuse will be 5 units. You can use the pythagorean theorem to check.

a^2+b^2=c^2

If you substitute the variable with the lengths of the legs in ascending order, you will get 3^2+4^2=5^2. Simplifying the equation, you will get 9+16=25, or 25=25. Thus, proving the equation.

Hope this helped! :)

Find the slope of a line that passes through the

Doss [256]

Given that,

Point 1 = (-6,9)

Point 2 = (2,9)

To find,

The slope of a line that passes through the given pair.

Solution,

We have,

x₁ = -6, x₂ = 2, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 9.

The formula for the slope of a line is given by :

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\=\dfrac{9-9}{2-(-6)}\\\\=0$

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through the given pair is 0.
