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

grigory [225]

Answer:

Speedie ran the race in 0.708(3)% of an hour, the 3 in the parentheses means the 3 repeats forever

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 25.5/3600, and when we convert it to a decimal, we have 0.00708(3), the 3 in the parentheses means the 3 repeats forever. To convert it to percentage, we multiply it by 100, to get 0.708(3). Hope it helps!

<span>Congruence between two triangles means six items, all three sides and all three angles, are congruent. Thus the statement ABC DEF has a very precise meaning. It succinctly summarizes the six statements (assume lines atop these segments): ABDE, BCEF, ACDF, AD, BE, and CF. It is very important to maintain the vertices in the proper order. Not doing so is a common mistake.</span>

9^1/3 * 3^x = 27^4/5

Rewrite 9 as 3^2

(3^2)^1/3 * 3^x = 27^4/5

Multiply the exponents in the first term:

3^2/3 * 3^x = 27^4/5

Use power rule to combine exponents:

3^(2/3 +x) = 27^4/5

Rewrite the 2nd term:

3^(2/3 +x) = (3^3)^4/5

Set the exponents only to equal:

2/3 + x = 3(4/5)

Solve for x:

simplify the right side:

2/3 + x = 12/5

Subtract 2/3 from both sides:

x = 26/15
