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

Mathematics

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.

The region bounded by y=x^2+1, y=x, x=-1, x=2 with square cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The bounded area is 5 + 5/6 square units. (or 35/6 square units)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to find the area bounded by two functions f(x) and g(x) in a given interval (x1, x2)

Such that f(x) > g(x) in the given interval.

This area then can be calculated as the integral between x1 and x2 for f(x) - g(x).

We want to find the area bounded by:

f(x) = y = x^2 + 1

g(x) = y = x

x = -1

x = 2

To find this area, we need to f(x) - g(x) between x = -1 and x = 2

This is:

\int\limits^2_{-1} {(f(x) - g(x))} \, dx

\int\limits^2_{-1} {(x^2 + 1 - x)} \, dx

We know that:

\int\limits^{}_{} {x} \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2}

\int\limits^{}_{} {1} \, dx = x

\int\limits^{}_{} {x^2} \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3}

Then our integral is:

\int\limits^2_{-1} {(x^2 + 1 - x)} \, dx = (\frac{2^3}{2}  + 2 - \frac{2^2}{2}) - (\frac{(-1)^3}{3}  + (-1) - \frac{(-1)^2}{2}  )

The right side is equal to:

(4 + 2 - 2) - ( -1/3 - 1 - 1/2) = 4 + 1/3 + 1 + 1/2 = 5 + 2/6 + 3/6 = 5 + 5/6

The bounded area is 5 + 5/6 square units.
