The sum of two numbers is 44. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Your numbers are 11 and 32

We know that:
a + b = 44
and
a = 3b

If we substitute “3b” in for a in the first equation, we get a numerical value for b

3b + b = 44
4b = 44
b = 11

Then we substitute the numerical value of b to solve for a:
a = 3b
a = 3(11) = 33

In the opposite figuret triangle OAB has an area of 72 cm2 and. Triangle ODC has an area of 288 Cm2 Then XandY equal

Lisa [10]

area of OAB = 72 = (1/2) sin (AOB) * OA * OB solve the above for sin(AOB) to find sin(AOB) = 1/2 area of ODC = 288 = (1/2) sin (DOC) * OD * OD Note that sin(DOC) = sin(AOB) = 1/2, OD = 18 + y and OC = 16 + x and substitute in the above to obtain the first equation in x and y 1152 = (18 + y)(16 + x)...

Given that p is an integer , q= -12 and the qupteint of p/q is -3 find p

Masteriza [31]

$q=-12,\ \dfrac{p}{q}=-3\\\\\text{therefore}\\\\\dfrac{p}{-12}=-3\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-12)}\\\\\boxed{p=36}$

Find the length of the missing side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.

suter [353]

Answer:

D.) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.

Fill in values:

$a^2+15^2=17^2$
