Answer:

a = 4\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorem:

a² + 8² = 12²

a² + 64 = 144

a² = 80

a = \sqrt{80}

a = \sqrt{4}·\sqrt{4}·\sqrt{5} which simplifies to be 4\sqrt{5}

the altitude of the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 14 and 8. what is the length
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

B. 4\sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle altitude theorem states that the altitude of a right angled triangles formed on the hypotenuse is equal to the geometric mean of the 2 line segments it creates.

This can be represented as:

h = \sqrt{(xy)}

Where,

h = the length of the altitude,

x and y are the lengths of the 2 segments formed.

Therefore, the length of the altitude = h = \sqrt{(14*8)}

h = \sqrt{112}

h = \sqrt{16}*\sqrt{7}

h = 4\sqrt{7}

the sum of three numbers is 144. the third number is 4 times the first. the second number is 6 more than the first. what are the
Law Incorporation [45]
First I would change the descriptions of the numbers into expressions.

first number is n
second number is n + 6
third number is 4n (4 x n)

Then you would insert these expressions into an equation and isolate n.

n + n + 6 + 4n = 144
n + n + 4n = 144 - 6
6n = 138
n = 138/6
n = 23

Lastly, you would plug in this value into all of the expressions.

first number is 23
second number is 23 + 6 = 29
third number is 4(23) = 92

Therefore, the numbers are 23, 29, and 92.

Evaluate.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: -2 4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To properly subtract, we need to find a common denominator. We can list the multiples of 3 and 5 to find the common denominator:

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15

5: 5, 10, 15


The first common multiple we see is 15.

Calculation:

3 · 3 = 9

9 + 1 = 10

3 1/3 = 10/3

5 x 5 = 25

25 + 3 = 28

-5 3/5 = -28/5

Now to convert into fifteen as the denominator:

-28/5 = -28 x 3/5 x 3 = -84/15

10/3 = 10 x 5/3 x 5 = 50/15

Now to subtract accordingly:

50/15 - 84/15 = -34/15

Final answer: -34/15 (can be reduced to -2 4/15).

Olegator [25]
50 yards for 1 lap

 50 yards x 18 laps = 900 total yards

now divide the amount he swam by the total amount he wants to swim:

738 / 900 = 0.82 = 82%
