Answer:

5 ; 12 ; 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Shorter leg = x

Other leg = x + 7

Hypotenus = x + 8

Recall:

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

(x+8)² = x² + (x+7)²

x² + 16x + 64 = x² + x² + 14x + 49

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) +3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 ; x = - 3

(x - 5) = 0 ; x = 5

Side can't be negative ;

Hence,

x = shorter side = 5

Other side = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12

Hypotenus = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

Flura [38]

Answer:

h ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hans charges $7 per hour and pays $5 in equipment fees.

$5 is fixed in this case. Let the possible number of hours be h.

According to question,

Atleast means less than equal to. So,

7h-5≤51

Add 5 to both sides.

7h+5-5 ≤ 51+5

7h ≤ 56

h ≤ 8

So, the number of hours be less than equal to 8.

On average, a commercial airplane burns about 3.9 × 10³ mL of gasoline per second. There can be as many as 5.1 × 10³ airplanes i
algol13
We use the given data above to calculate the volume of gasoline that is being burned per minute by commercial airplanes. 

Amount burned of 1 commercial airplane = <span>3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second
Number of airplanes = </span><span>5.1 × 10³ airplanes

We calculate as follows:

</span> 3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second / 1 airplane (5.1 × 10³ airplanes)(60 second / 1 min ) = <span>1.2 x 10^9 mL / min</span>

10-root18/root2 = a+broot2
Sauron [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{10 -  \sqrt{18} }{ \sqrt{2} } = a + b \sqrt{2}

\frac{10}{ \sqrt{2} }   +  \frac{ -  \sqrt{18} }{ \sqrt{2} }

5 \sqrt{2}   + (  \frac{ -  \sqrt{18} }{ \sqrt{2} } ) \times  \sqrt{2}

a = 5 \sqrt{2}

b =  \frac{ -  \sqrt{18} }{ \sqrt{2} }

Find the circumference of the circle shown. Round to the nearest tenth.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

110 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So if we know the diameter, which is 35 cm, we can use the formula π*d. So we would take the diameter and put it in the place of d. So it would be pie times 35. Which would result in us getting 109.96. And this rounded to the nearest tenth would be 110. So The circumference would be 110 cm.
