Find the length of the leg(s) of a right triangle, to the nearest hundredth, if both legs are equal and the hypotenuse is 10.

Mathematics
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

7.07 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle:

\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{leg}_1^2+\text{leg}_2^2,\\ \\c^2=a^2+b^2.

If a = x, b = x, and c = 10, then

10^2=x^2+x^2,\\ \\100=2x^2,\\ \\x^2=50,\\ \\x=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\approx 7.07\ units.

Solve the equation.<br> a² = 100<br> Enter the correct answer in the boxes.<br> a = 10 or a = ?
Lyrx [107]
A = 10 or a = -10

When you square a number, you're essentially multiplying it by itself.

Recall that multiplying two negative numbers will result in a positive numbers. Knowing this, we know that -10 times -10 equals 100.

If m&lt;1=40 and m&lt;2=80, what is m&lt;3?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

60 degrees, 55 degrees, and 50 degrees respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: m<1+m<2+m<3=180

1. 40+80+x=180 Subtract 120(because 40+80=120)

  x=60

2. 50+75+x=180 subtract 125 (50+75=125)

    x=55

3. 50+80+x=180 subtract 130 (50+80=130)

   x=50

A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amo
Blababa [14]

Answer:

<h2><em>2ft by 2ft by 1 ft</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;

S  = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1

Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2

From equation 2;

h = 4/lw

Substituting into r[equation 1;

S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)

S = lw+8/l+8/w

Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;

dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)

dS/dw = l - 8/w²

Similarly,

dS/dl = w  + (-8l⁻²)

dS/dw = w - 8/l²

At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0

l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0

l = 8/w²  and w =8/l²

l = 8/(8/l² )²

l = 8/(64/I⁴)

l = 8*l⁴/64

l = l⁴/8

8l = l⁴

l³ = 8

l = ∛8

l = 2

Hence the length of the box is 2 feet

Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w

2 = 8/w²

1 = 4/w²

w² = 4

w = 2 ft

width of the cardboard is 2 ft

Since Volume = lwh

4 = 2(2)h

4 = 4h

h = 1 ft

Height of the cardboard is 1 ft

<em>The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft</em>

Write an equation in point-slope form
stepladder [879]
I believe is C because the formula is

Y = mx + b

Since your m value is -6/5 and your x value is -3, and y value is -7

Then your answer would be

Y - 7 = -6/5 (x - 3)
