Answer:

14.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base of a right triangle = 7 in

Height of a right triangle = a

Hypotenuse = 16 in

To find:

The length of side a.

Solution:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Subtract 49 from both sides.

Taking square root on both sides, we get

a = 14.4

The length of side a is 14.4 in.

Use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
You know b = 7, c = 16
Plug in the values
a^2 + 7^2 = 16^2
a^2 + 49 = 256
a^2 = 207
a = 14.38749
Round to nearest tenth
Solution: a = 14.4 in.

The sequence an = 8, 13, 18, 23, ... is the same as the sequence a1 = 8, an = an-1 + 5.
harkovskaia [24]
Actually, this answer would be true. Why?

 The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23

The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em> 
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em> 
13+5=18.

Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

B= 90

C= 80

D= 100

Step-by-step explanation:

So let’s start with the bottom angles.

We know that the adjacent angles in a parallelogram add up to 180° so our equation would be (b-10) + (b+10)=180. So let’s simplify it b and b are both the same variables so we will get 2b and -10 + 10 is 0 so we get the following equation 2b=180.

So now we divide 180 and 2 and we get 90 as b.

So one side will be 100 because of the +10 and the other 90 because of the -10.

Now for the next side.

d+c=180

So we know that b+10 is adjacent to c so 180-100 is 80, so 80 is c.

Now for d.

b-10 is 80 so 180-80 is 100, so d is 100.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

20x+50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of days he has the car

20x+50

It is 20x, because it costs 20 dollars for each day he has the car, and +50, because there is a fee, regardless of how many days he has the car.

Hope this helps!
