Answer:

9sqrt(3) in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

1 : sqrt(3) : 2

If the short leg measures 1, then the hypotenuse measures 2.

The length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.

The length of the long leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the short leg.

If the hypotenuse measures 18 in., then the short leg measures 9 in.

Then the long leg measures 9sqrt(3) in.

___________

explanation

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(x^2 - 2x) - 3xy + 6y

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(x - 2) - 3y (x - 2)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x - 2

(x - 2) (x - 3y)

Answer:

$G=-\frac{5}{4}t+15$

Slope = $-\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation representing the number of gallons left in the gas tank is,

G = mt + b

Where m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept of the line

Slope of the line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

'm' = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope of the line passing through (8, 5) and (4, 10),

m = $\frac{10-5}{4-8}$

m = - $\frac{5}{4}$

Equation of line will be,

G = $-\frac{5}{4}t+b$

Since, point (8, 5) lies on this line,

5 = $-\frac{5}{4}(8)+b$

5 = -10 + b

b = 15

Therefore equation of the function will be,

G = $-\frac{5}{4}t+15$

Here slope of the function represents the $\frac{5}{4}$ gallons of gas is consumed to drive the car for one hour.
