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.

Hello,
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

s = height above ground

s = 60 + 20 t - 4.9 t^2 (standard physics equation on earth)

at t = 0

s = 60 (clearly :)

now when does it hit the bleak earth?

That is when s = 0

4.9 t^2 - 20 t -60 = 0

solve quadratic and use the positive t (the negative t was back before you threw it if you had thrown it from the ground)

t = 6.09 or - 2.01

use t = 6.09

now to do the last part there are two obvious ways to get t at the peak

1. look for vertex of parabola

2. look for halfway between t = -2.01 and t = 6.09

I will do it the hard (11) waay by completing the square

4.9 t^2 - 20 t = -(s-60)

t^2 - 4.08 t = -.204 s + 12.2

t^2 - 4.08 t +2.04^2 = -.204 s +12.2 + 4.16

(t-2.04)^2 = -.204(s-80.2)

so

top at 80.2 meters at t = 2.04 s

===============

quick check on time

should be average of 6.09 and -2.01

=4.08 /2 = 2.04 check

En una oficina hay 96 computadores en total. La razón entre los computadores que deben ser reparados y aquellos que se encuentra
Alik [6]

Answer:

36 computadores deben ser reparados.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que en una oficina hay 96 computadores en total, y la razón entre los computadores que deben ser reparados y aquellos que se encuentran operativos es 3:5, para determinar cuántos computadores de la oficina deben ser reparados en total se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

(96 / (3+5)) x 3 = computadores que deben ser reparados

(96 / 8) x 3 = computadores que deben ser reparados

12 x 3 = computadores que deben ser reparados

36 = X

Por lo tanto, 36 computadores deben ser reparados.
