If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 3 and 10, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

<h2>a = √109 or 10.44</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse we use Pythagoras theorem which is given by

a² = b² + c²

where a is the hypotenuse

So we have

a² = 10² + 3²

a² = 100 + 9

a² = 109

<h3>a = √109 or 10.44</h3>

Hope this helps you

In the figure below, MN | KL and are intersected by transversals ML and KN M 1551 What is the measure of , XMN?
Schach [20]

Answer:

∠ XMN = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ XNM and ∠ XKL are alternate angles and are congruent, then

∠ XNM = 35°

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , so

∠ XMN = 180° - (95 + 35)° = 180° - 130° = 50°

What is the value of k in the equation?<br> 20^k/ 20^4 = 20^9
Luden [163]

Answer:

k = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

20 ^ k / 20^4 = 20^9

knowing the laws of exponents, diving two numbers of the same base with exponents is like subtracting the exponents, so

k^x / k^y

= k ^ (x - y)

apply that knowledge here

20 ^ k / 20 ^ 4 = 20 ^ 9

20 ^ ( k - 4 ) = 20 ^ 9

now the bases have no use here so ignore them, and just calculate the exponents

k - 4 = 9

solve using inverse operations

k - 4 = 9

+4       +4

k = 13
