Answer:

16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle, a²+b²=c², where a and b are leg lengths, and c is the hypotenuse. Given one leg length and the hypotenuse, we can find the other leg length by plugging in our given information:

a²+b²=c²

12²+b²=20²

144+b²=400

b²=256

b=16

Therefore, the missing leg length is 16 units.

Help please and thank you ​
Dominik [7]

Answer:

  D

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the rotation R is <em>counterclockwise</em> 60°.

__

The exponent on R is the number of times it is applied. That is, R² = R(R(figure)). So, the composition is equivalent to R^(2-4) = R^-2.

When the exponent of R is negative, it is essentially the inverse function. That is, applying the function R to the result will give the figure you started with. Equivalently, it is rotation in the other direction.

  (\mathcal{R}^2\circ\mathcal{R}^{-4})(\text{figure})=\mathcal{R}^{-2}(\text{figure})=\text{figure rotated $120^{\circ}$ CW}

The point 120° clockwise from B is D.

The desired image point is D.

Quadratic form to vertex form with a vertex of (-4,-1) and a y-intercept of 7
Arlecino [84]
The quadratic function in vertex form is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

Where:

vertex = (h, k)
Axis of symmetry: x = h

The value of “a” determines whether the graph opens up or down, and makes the parent function wider or narrower.

The value of “h” determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

The value of “k” determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

Now that we have these definitions, we can substitute the given values into the vertex form to solve for “a”:

Use vertex = (-4, -1) and y-intercept, (0, 7):

7 = a(0+ 4)^2 - 1
7 = a(4)^2 - 1
7 = a(16) - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

7 + 1 = a(16) - 1 + 1
8 = 16a

Divide both sides by 16 to solve for “a”:

8/16 = 16a/16
1/2 = a

Since a = 1/2 (which is positive, implying that the parabola opens upward), and the vertex occurs at point (-4, -1) as the minimum point:

The quadratic equation in vertex form is:

y = 1/2(x + 4)^2 - 1

Given that ABCD is a parallelogram with diagonals intersecting at M. Segment PQ is drawn such that P lies on AB and Q lies on DC
Andrews [41]

Answer:

we thus have enough informnation to prove that the two triangles are congruent. Because of thism, one side of the triangles, Pm which is the congruent side to that of PQ must be equal as well and

PM = QM

Step-by-step explanation:

because it's a parrallelogram, Ad = BC and AB = DC.

P passes through both  AB and DC on a diagonal, angles created by P have oppoiste exterior angles of eachother.

the diagonals of AC create congruent angles at DMC and AMB and because P is cutting through them, the angles P cuts at DMQ and QMC are equal to that of AMP and PMB

that being said, we now see that the angles of APM triangle and AMC triangol are equal and because the diagonal of BD is is being cut by AC, which AD is parralel to BC  and AB to Dc, we know now that lines AM and MC are congruent

we thus have enough informnation to prove that the two triangles are congruent. Because of thism, one side of the triangles, Pm which is the congruent side to that of PQ must be equal as well and

thus PM = QM
