Answer:

She did not do right.  The answer she got is square of one leg.  She should have taken square root and got answer as 88 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that length of hypotenuse is 137 units.  One leg is 105

As per pythagorean theorem , we have

square of hypotenuse = sum of squares of two legs

Hence square of one leg = square of hypotenuse - square of one leg

Thus what she calculated is square of one leg. this is not the unknown side.

Instead she should have found out the square root of 7744 to get the side length of the leg.

Hence leg size =88 units

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
b^2 = 137^2 - 105^2
b^2 = 18769 - 11025
b^2 = 7744
b = sqrt 7744
b = 88

Gina's step is not correct... the length of the unknown leg is not 7744, it is the sqrt of 7744, which is 88

Find the missing value when given the modulus.
kolbaska11 [484]

Solving the complex number, we get the value of the missing value that is ‘a’ = -6

We  have been given the expression as

          |a – i| = √37          (1)

Which is an expression of complex number. The general expression of complex number is given as

    z = x + iy

 where x is the real part and iy is the imaginary part

To find the modulus value, the formula is given by,

  |z| = |x + iy|

   |z| = √[(real part)2 + (imaginary part)2]

 |z| = √(x2 + y2)

According to the question, |z| = √37         (2)

Equating equation (1) and (2), we get

√(a2 + 1) = √37

(a2 + 1) = 37

a2 = 37 – 1

a2 = 36

a = √36

a = ±6

Now value of a can be 6 or -6. We have been given that the modulus is in third quadrant.

Hence the value will be negative. Therefore, the missing value will be -6.

Q..3/4 of a piece of metal has a mass on 15 kg. What is the mass of 2/5 of a piece of metal ?
Margarita [4]

Answer

8kg

Explanation

3/4--------15

2/5-------x

cross multiplying

3/4×X = 2/5×15

3X/4 = 30/5

3X/4 = 6

cross multiplying

3X = 4×6

3X = 24

dividing bothsides by 3

3X /3 = 24/3

X = 8

therefore, the answer is 8 kg
