Larger triangle’s base length

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 3^2 = 8^2
a^2 = 8^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(55)
a = sqrt(55)
__________________

Smaller triangle’s base length:

The same formula applies.
a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2
a^2 = 5^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(16)
a = 4
____________

The finale!

Add the two side lengths of a, which is sqrt(55) + 4 (exact answer)
or... 11.416 (unrounded to thousandths place)

Good luck to you!

In the equation y = 39x + 50represents the number of people at a holiday dinner and y represents the total cost of
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = y = 39x+50

Total amount spent y = 518

Solution:

The equation for the number of people who attended the dinner

y = 39x+50

The cost of dinner is equally divided by number of people =

then, 518 = y

placing value, 518 = 39x+50

x = (518-50)/39

= 468/39

= 12

Then number of people attended the dinner = 12

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, –5). Describe the ste
olga_2 [115]
1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.

2. So f(x)=(x-a)^{3}

3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions: 
 
f(x)=b(x-a)^{3}

4. Now, f(0)=-5 so  -5=f(0)=b(0-a)^{3}=b(-a) ^{3}=-ba ^{3}

-5=-ba ^{3}

5=ba ^{3}

b= \frac{5}{ a^{3} }

5. the function is f(x)=\frac{5}{ a^{3} }(x-a)^{3} where a can be any real number except 0
