Answer:

20km

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find c, which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

we know the lengths of the legs, which are given as 16km and 12km

you might notice that 16km and 12km can both be divided by 4, which will then give is 4 and 3.

3,4,5 is a pythagorean triple-(the sums of the squares of 3 and 4 is equal to the square of 5).

The triple can be proved:

3²+4²=5²

9+16=25

25=25

that means the lengths of the triangle is a multiple of the triple 3, 4, and 5

so that means that c is 5*something

since 12 and 16 are 3*4 and 4*4 respectively, that means that c must be 5*4=20km

Hope this helps!

Wut is the value of m?<br><br> 7m=90

Sedbober [7]

The value of m is 12 6/7.

Explanation:
To find m, we want one m instead of 7, so we divide both sides by 7. 7m/7 = 90/7, which would be m = 12 6/7.

1 ) Tim earns $12.50 an hour cleaning houses. If he works from 8:00am to 2:00pm,

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will find how many hours he worked. 8:00-12:00 is 4 hours, and 12:00-2:00 is 2 hours, so he worked a total of 6 hours.

Next, we have to multiply the hours worked by his hourly wage.

12.50*6=75

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation is:

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the points

(-1, -2)

(3, 4)

Determining the slope between (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:4\right)$

$m=\frac{4-\left(-2\right)}{3-\left(-1\right)}$

$m=\frac{3}{2}$

Thus, the slope of the line is:

m = 3/2

substituting m = 3/2 and the point (3, 4) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

$4=\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b$

switch sides

$\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b=4$

$\frac{9}{2}+b=4$

subtract 9/2 from both sides

$\frac{9}{2}+b-\frac{9}{2}=4-\frac{9}{2}$

$b=-\frac{1}{2}$

now substituting m = 3/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the line equation is:

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}$

What is the area of this composite figure?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

249 centimeters squared

Step-by-step Explanation:

The area of the rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

= 15.5 x 18

= 279

Area of the smaller rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

= 4 x 7.5

= 30

We do not need this 30.

Area of the shaded region:

= 279 - 30

= 249 cm²
