To answer this item, we make use of the equation derive from the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If we let x be the measure of both the shorter sides (we call this as legs), we have,
(14 in)² = (x²) + (x²)
Simplifying the equation,
196 in² = 2x²
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
98 in² = x²
To get the value of x, we get the square root of both sides of the equation,
x = sqrt (98) = 7√2 inches
Hence, the measure of each leg of the right triangle is 7√2 inches or approximately 9.9 inches.
Answer: 1 over 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:18
Step-by-step explanation:
C) 18 is the correct answer.
2m/3 +5=17
or,2m/3 =17-5
or,2m/3 =12.
Now doing criss cross multiplication,
or,3×12=2m×1
or,36=2m
m=18

Answer:
Maximum height is 7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- The complete question is as follows:
" The height of a small rise in a roller coaster track is modeled by f(x) = –0.07x^2 + 0.42x + 6.37, where x is the distance in feet from a supported at ground level.
Find the greatest height of the rise "
- To find any turning points ( minimum or maximum ) points of a trajectory expressed as function of independent parameter, we find the critical points of the trajectory where the first derivative of the dependent variable w.rt independent variable is set to zero.
- In our case the height of the roller coaster track (y) is function of the distance (x) from a supported pole at ground level.
f(x) = –0.07x^2 + 0.42x + 6.37
- Now set the first derivative equal to zero, and determine the critical values of x:
0 = -0.14x + 0.42
x = 0.42 / 0.14 = 3 ft
- The critical value for the coaster track is at point 3 feet away from the supported pole at ground level. So the height f(x) at x = 3 ft, would be:
f ( x = 3 ) = max height
max height = –0.07*3^2 + 0.42*3 + 6.37
= 7 ft
