Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides( two legs and one hypotenuse).

By pythagoras we know that

h^2= a^2+b^2.

and the perimeter is P=h+a+b.

Since P=24 and a=6  we have these equations:

h^2=36+b^2\\24=h+6+b

From the last equation we have h=18-b. Replace h in the first equation we get that

(18-b)^2=36+b^2

18^2-36b+b^2=36+b^2\\288=36b\\b=\frac{288}{36}=8

and h=18-8=10

Which function below has the lowest y intercept? f(x) graph going through (0, 5) and (2, 1) g(x) Kyle started the summer having
mr Goodwill [35]
First find the slope of f(x).

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-5)/(2-0)

m=-4/2

m=-2

y=-2x+b, using (2,1) we can solve for the y-intercept, "b"

1=-2(2)+b

1=-4+b

5=b

y=-2x+5

So f(x) has a y-intercept of 5

g(x)=6m+3

So g(x) has a y-intercept of 3

h(x)=3x+4

So h(x) has a y-intercept of 4


Then g(x) has the lowest y-intercept of just 3.

The triangle inequality
klemol [59]
The answer is the first choice: 7, 15, 20.
When you want to know what three numbers can make up a triangle. All you have to do is take the first two numbers and add them up. If the sum is larger than the third number, it can form a triangle. If the sum of the first two numbers are smaller than the third number, it cannot form a triangle.
Hope this helped

What is the y-value in the solution to this system of linear equations?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x + 5y = - 12 → (1)

- 2x + 3y = - 16 → (2)

Eliminate the x- term by multiplying (2) by 2 and adding the result to (1)

- 4x + 6y = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

11y = - 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

y = - 4
