Answer:

Leg= Leg- hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

5 suquared= 25

13 squared= 169

25+169 =194

194 square root is 13.9

How to determine each side of a right triangle

if leg a is the missing side, then transform the equation to the form when a is on one side, and take a square root: a = √(c² - b²)

if leg b is unknown, then. b = √(c² - a²)

for hypotenuse c missing, the formula is. c = √(a² + b²)

Answer:

13.9 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

The pathaegorean theorem is A²+B²= C²

5²=25

13²= 169

169+25=194

√194=13.9

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form. The line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment whose endpo

noname [10]

Well the line that bisects RS, will cut RS in two equal halves, therefore, that line will cut RS perpendicularly at the midpoint of RS.

now, what the dickens is the midpoint of RS anyway?

$\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
R&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
% (c,d)
S&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}\qquad
% coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{5-1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{5+6}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{midpoint}{\left(2~~,~~\frac{11}{2} \right)}$

so, we know that perpendicular line, will have to go through (2, 11/2)

now, a perpendicular line to RS, will have a negative reciprocal slope to it. Well, what is the slope of RS anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{5-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{5+1}\implies -\cfrac{1}{6}$

and let's check the reciprocal negative of that,

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad -\cfrac{1}{6}\\\\
slope=-\cfrac{1}{{{ 6}}}\qquad negative\implies +\cfrac{1}{{{ 6}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies + \cfrac{{{ 6}}}{1}\implies 6$

so, then, what's is the equation of a line whose slope is 6, and goes through 2, 11/2?

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{11}{2}}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 6
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-\cfrac{11}{2}=6(x-2)
\\\\\\
y-\cfrac{11}{2}=6x-12\implies -6x+y=-12+\cfrac{11}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{standard form}}{-6x+y=-\cfrac{13}{2}}$

Round 7.21 divided by 7 to the nearest tenth

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

1 is the answer.

The exact answer is 1.03, but we have to round it to the nearest tenth which is 0 because 3 is less than 5.
