What is the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ankoles [38]2 years ago

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to determine an unknown side of a right triangle when two sides are known.

It states that a^2+b^2=c^2.

This is where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.

If you're unclear on this, you can draw a diagram to help you visualize it.

Hence, we can plug the given information into this formula.

a^2+8^2=(√73)^2

Simplify.

a^2+64=73

Subtract 64 from both sides.

a^2+64-64=73-64

a^2=9

Find the square root of both sides.

a=3

The length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 3 units.

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-4,2) and y-intercept (0,-30). Write your answer in this form: (x1, y1),(x2,
Ainat [17]
Vertex form of a parabola 
<span>y = a (x - h)^2 + k </span>

<span>where (h, k) is the vertex </span>
Substituting the values of h and k.
we get, 

<span>y = a(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>

<span>substituting in the point (0, -30) for  x and  y
</span><span>-30 = a (0 + 4)^2 + 2 

</span>solve for a,

<span>-30 = 16 a + 2 </span>
<span>-32 = 16 a </span>
<span>-2 = a </span>

<span>y = -2(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>

<span>Put y = 0 </span>

<span>-2 x^2 - 16 x - 30 = 0 </span>
<span>-2(x^2 + 8 x + 15) = 0 </span>
<span>x^2 + 8 x + 15 = 0 </span>
<span>(x + 3)(x + 5) = 0 </span>

<span>x = -3
x = -5</span>
