The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 15 cm and one of its legs measures 8 cm.

1 answer:

6 0

Use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
C = hypothenuse
8^2 + b^2 = 15^2
64 + b^2 = 225
b^2 = 161
b = square root 161 = 12.68

Solution: 12.7 cm

What are the coordinates of R' after a dilation by a scale factor of 3, centered at the origin, followed by the translation (x,

Answer:

C. (9, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given R(3, 5), a dilation by a factor of 3 will multiply each coordinate to give ...

(9, 15)

Then the translation up by 3 will give you the image coordinates ...

(x, y) ⇒ (x, y+3)

(9, 15) ⇒ (9, 15 +3) = (9, 18)

The coordinates of R' are (9, 18), matching choice C.

<em>Comment on multiple choice answers</em>

As it often does, here it works to "guess" the answer that has the coordinates that are most-repeated. An x-coordinate of 9 is part of 3 answer choices; a y-coordinate of 18 is the only repeated value in the answer choices. If you were to guess, an appropriate guess would be (9, 18). That happens to be correct in this case.

Does this graph show a function? explain how you know

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line test is basically just drawing a vertical line and seeing if the line intersects the graph more than once. If it does, then it is not a function, if it doesn't than it is a function.

Two spinners are spun. One has 5 sections labeled Red, Orange, Purple, Yellow, and Green. The other has three sections labeled 1

quester [9]

Answer:

$S = 15$ possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

For any experiment, the sample space of this experiment is the set of all the possible results of the experiment.

In this case we have two spinners. The first has 5 colors, by spinning the spinner you can get up to 5 different results. Therefore the sample space is $S_1 = 5$

For the second spinner there are 3 possible results. By spinning the spinner you can get the numbers 1, 2 or 3. Then $S_2 = 3$ .

Then, if the two spinners are rotated, the sample space would be:

$S = 5*3$

$S = 15$ possible outcomes.

The tree diagram shown in the attached image shows the 15 possible results

{R, 1} {R, 2} {R, 3} {O, 1} {O, 2} {O, 3} {Y, 1} {Y, 2} {Y, 3} {P, 1} {P, 2} {P, 3} {G, 1}

{G, 2} {G, 3}
