Answer:

7.06

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle can be solved a couple of ways. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

1) The area is ...

A = 1/2bh = 1/2(8)(15) = 60 . . . using DG as the base

Using GE as the base, the height (DF) is ...

A = (1/2)(17)(DF)

2(60)/17 = DF = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

__

2) Using similar triangles, we can find the ratio of the long side to the hypotenuse as ...

(long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/GE = DF/DG

DF = DG(DE/GE) = 8(15/17) = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below<br> in slope-intercept form.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Equation of a line, y = mx+c

Slope (m)= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1), let Y2=7, Y1=3 , X2=2 and X1=1

m=(7-3)/(2-1)

= 4/1

= 4

Picking any value of y and its corresponding x including m, put them into the equation of the line

y=mx+c

3 =4(1)+c

3=4+c

3-4=c

-1=c

y=mx+c

y=4x+(-1)

y=4x-1

The measure of an angle is 71°. What is the measure of its supplementary angle?
SpyIntel [72]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°

-> The measure of an angle that is supplementary to a 71° angle is 180° - 71° = 129°

Is 10/3 equivalent to 70/21
slava [35]
Yes because if you divide both, the numerator and denominator, by 7 it would simplify  to 10/3, so they are equivalent.
