Answer:

6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a 30°-60°-90° triangle measures 10 inches.

To find the length of one of the legs, we use the idea of Pythagorean Triples.

Pythagorean Triples are any set of three numbers that satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem. Some common examples are:

  • 3, 4 and 5
  • 5, 12 and 13
  • 9, 40 and 41

Note that in a Pythagorean Triple,

  • The longest length is always the Hypotenuse.
  • New Triples can be formed from product of existing triples.

In our given triangle, the Hypotenuse=10 Inches

Consider the Pythagorean Triple 3,4, and 5

  • 5 is the Hypotenuse
  • Multiply the Triples by 2, we obtain:
  • 6, 8 and 10 (in which 10 is the hypotenuse)

Therefore, 6 and 8 could be the length of a leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle.

Answer please? ___ feet per second
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 30 feet per second

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

x = diameter, y = speed of water

y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k

If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6

So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x

Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...

y = 3/x

y = 3/0.1

y = 30 feet per second

Which of the following statements is correct Athe product of 3/4 and 7/8 is less than 7/8 B the product of 1/3 and 9/10 is less
dedylja [7]

Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.

Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.
