Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = big number

let you = small number

x + y = 215-------> (1)

x - y = 137 ------>(2)

(1)

x = 215 - y ----->(1)

substitute 1 into 2

215 - y -y = 137

-2 y = 78

y = 39

substitute y = 39 into (1)

x = 215 - (39)

x = 176

thus the numbers are 176 & 39

Suppose that the mean score of a class of 32 students was 74. the 19 male students in the class had a mean score of 70. what was

andrew-mc [135]

Mean = sum of values / number of values
74 = x/32
2368 = x

70 = y/19
1330 = y

mean for female students = (2368 - 1330)/(32-19) = 79.85

Find the approximate perimeter of ABC plotted below.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

B. 21.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of ∆ABC = AB + BC + AC

A(-4, 1)

B(-2, 3)

C(3, -4)

✔️Distance between A(-4, 1) and B(-2, 3):

$AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(-2 - (-4))^2 + (3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (2)^2)}$

$AB = \sqrt{4 + 4}$

$AB = \sqrt{16}$

AB = 4 units

✔️Distance between B(-2, 3) and C(3, -4):

$BC = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(3 - (-2))^2 + (-4 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-7)^2)}$

$BC = \sqrt{25 + 49}$

$BC = \sqrt{74}$

BC = 8.6 units (nearest tenth)

✔️Distance between A(-4, 1) and C(3, -4):

$AC = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$AC = \sqrt{(3 - (-4))^2 + (-4 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (-5)^2)}$

$AC = \sqrt{47 + 25}$

$AC = \sqrt{74}$

AC = 8.6 units (nearest tenth)

Perimeter of ∆ABC = 4 + 8.6 + 8.6 = 21.2 units

Answer:

Right angle triangle goes to 15m, 8m, 17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 15^2 + 8^2 is 17

(The use of a^2 + b^2 = c^2 - Pythagoras's Theorem)

So, 10m ,11m ,15m isn't a right angle triangle

Hope this helps!
