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.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

First arrange the data in an order

3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 10, 10, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 21

a.) Q1 = (N + 1)/4th item = (15 + 1)/4 = 4th item = 7

Q2 = 2(16)/4 = 16/2 = 8th item = 12

Q3 = 3(16)/4 = 3(4) = 12th item = 17

IQR = (Q3 - Q1)/2 = (17 - 7)/2 = 10/2 = 5

b.) 82nd percentile = 82(16)/100 = 13th item = 17

c.) 12 is the 8th item which is in the middle of the data set, so the percentile rank is 50%

Where would you insert parentheses to make the statement true?
9966 [12]
Just around the 15 and 3. So it would be

(15-3)x4+9=57

This is because (15-3)= 12
12x4=48
48+9= 57

A cable company uses the formula S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)y to estimate the number
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the

number of subscribers the year before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula :

S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)^y to estimate ;

S = number of subscribers ; y = years

The expression : (1 + 0.08)^y

0.08 = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

(1 + 0.08)^y represents a continous growth or increase in the number of subcsribers by 8% over the number of subscribers the preceeding year
