Answer:

Two possible lengths for the legs A and B are:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Or:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle rectangle, Pythagorean's theorem says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.

Then if the two legs of the triangle are A and B, and the hypotenuse is H, we have:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

If we know that H = 15cm, then:

A^2 + B^2 = (15cm)^2

Now, let's isolate one of the legs:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - B^2)

Now we can just input different values of B there, and then solve the value for the other leg.

Then if we have:

B = 1cm

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (1cm)^2) = 14.97

Then we could have:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Now let's try with another value of B:

if B = 9cm, then:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (9cm)^2) = 12 cm

Then we could have:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

So we just found two possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle.

Can someone please simplify 3 1/3 divided by 2 2/5 please
satela [25.4K]

Simplify the following:

(3 + 1/3)/(2 + 2/5)

Put 2 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 2 + 2/5 = (5×2)/5 + 2/5:

(3 + 1/3)/((5×2)/5 + 2/5)

5×2 = 10:

(3 + 1/3)/(10/5 + 2/5)

10/5 + 2/5 = (10 + 2)/5:

(3 + 1/3)/((10 + 2)/5)

10 + 2 = 12:

(3 + 1/3)/(12/5)

Put 3 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 1/3 = (3×3)/3 + 1/3:

((3×3)/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)

3×3 = 9:

(9/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)

9/3 + 1/3 = (9 + 1)/3:

((9 + 1)/3)/(12/5)

9 + 1 = 10:

(10/3)/(12/5)

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (10/3)/(12/5) = 10/3×5/12:

(10×5)/(3×12)

The gcd of 10 and 12 is 2, so (10×5)/(3×12) = ((2×5) 5)/(3 (2×6)) = 2/2×(5×5)/(3×6) = (5×5)/(3×6):

(5×5)/(3×6)

3×6 = 18:

(5×5)/18

5×5 = 25:

Answer: 25/18

Which set or ordered pairs represents y as a unction Or X!
Zepler [3.9K]

A relation is said to be a function when every element in the domain has one and only one distinct image in the co- domain.

In the first three options , one single element in domain has more than one image.

(-2,3), (-2, 2), (-2, 1), (-2, 0)

here -2 as an element in the domain has 3,2,1,0 has image-----> so not a function

(10, 15), (5, 1), (10, 6), (6, 10)

Here 10 , an element in the domain has 15,6 as image-----> so not a function

(-11, 2), (3,8), (3, 2), (2, 2)

Here 3, as an element in the domain has 8 and 2 as image-----> so not a function

So, OPTION D

(1,6), (2, 5), (10, 5), (-17, 8)
