Answer:

  15 in, 36 in, 39 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells us that for short side x, the relation is ...

  (2x +9)² = (2x +6)² +x²

  4x² +36x +81 = 4x² +24x +36 +x²

  x² -12x -45 = 0 . . . . . subtract the left-side expression

  (x -15)(x +3) = 0 . . . . factor

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . the positive value of x that makes a factor zero

The side lengths of the triangle are 15 inches, 36 inches, and 39 inches.

The surface area of this regular pyramid is 1040 cm2. The base is a regular pentagon with side b = 16 cm and slant height l =15
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid is B + (1/2*P*l), with B being the area of the base, p being the perimeter of the base, and l being the slant of the pyramid.

The area of a pentagon can be solved using the formula 1/2*a*p, with a being the apothem and p being the perimeter of the pentagon.

  1. B + (1/2*80*15) = 1040
  2. B + 600 = 1040
  3. 1040 - 600 = 440 (440 is the area of pentagon)
  4. 1/2*a*(16*5) = 440
  5. 40*a = 440
  6. 440/40 = 11

The apothem is 11 cm. Hope this helps!

What is the apr for a $585 tablet with 12 payments of $50.81
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

the answer is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

585/12=48.75

50.81-48.74=2.06

now 2.06 that's the money from interest rate

so now 2.06/50.81=0.04

so the answer is 4%

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder have the same height and radius. The volume
USPshnik [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

radius of sphere, rs

radius of cylinder, rc

height of cylinder, h

given: h = rs = rc =r..eq1

volume of cylinder, vc = 27pi ft...eq2

volume of cylinder, vc = pi × rc^2 × h...eq3

volume of sphere, vs = 4/3(pi×rs^3)...eq4

subst for h & rs from eqn 1 in eqn 3...

vc = pi x r^2 x r= pi x r^3...eqn 5

subst for vc from eqn 2 in eqn 5...

=> 27 pi ft = pi x r^3

=> 27 = r^3

=> r = 3ft...eqn 6

subst for rs from eqn 1 in eqn 4

vs = 4/3 (pi x r^3)...eqn7

subst for pi x r^3 from eqn 5 in eqn 7

vs = 4/3 vc = 4/3 (27pi ft) = 36 pi ft

The shortest side of a right triangle measures 13 m. the lengths of the other two sides are consecutive integers. Find the lengt
mariarad [96]
So, the shortest side is 13, the other two fellows are two consecutive values.... ok... let's say the other leg is "a", a consecutive value to that will be a+1, so the hypotenuse is "a + 1" then

check the picture below

and surely you'd know what "a" is
