Step-by-step explanation:

{a}^{2}  =  {8}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  \\  {a }^{2}  = 64 + 25 \\  {a}^{2}  = 89 \\ a =  \sqrt{89}  = 9.4 \: cm

{17}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  \\  {b}^{2}  =  {17}^{2}  -  {12}^{2}  \\  {b}^{2}  = 289 - 144 \\  {b}^{2}  = 145 \\ b = 12 \: cm

-8p^2+8p+7=9<br> how do i find the discriminant
m_a_m_a [10]
The discriminant can be found using the formula b^2-4ac 

First put your equation in standard form, where all your values are on one side, and just add f(x) or y in front of your equation. 
y= 8p^2-8p+2

The first value of your equation is a   (a=8)
The second term of your equation is b  (b=-8)
The last term of your equation is c  (c=2)

Plug in the values to the discriminant equation b^2-4ac

If the measure of an angle is 78 less than the measure of its compliment, what is the measure of the angle?
aliina [53]
Complementary angles add up to 90'
So let X= angle 1
         Y=angle 2
So x+y=90
let x=y-78
so(y-78)+y=90
y-78+y=90
2y-78=90
2y=90+78
2y=168
y=168/2
y=84
x=y-78
so x=84-78
x=6
And 6+84=90
So the measure of the angle is 6 degrees.
Hope i helped!
