Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle you can you pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

A= shortest side.

B=middle side.

C=longest/slanted side or hypotenuse.

So AB is the hypotenuse.

BC is the short side.

this means that AC is the middle side. Plug your numbers in.

25 + b^2 =169

b^2=144

b=12

AC=12

A rope is 250 centimeters long. You need the rope to be 1 1/2 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?
Drupady [299]
If you would like to know how many centimeters should you cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 1/2 meters = 3/2 meters = 1.5 meters = 150 centimeters

250 centimeters - 1 1/2 meters = 250 centimeters - 150 centimeters = 100 centimeters = 1 meter

The correct result would be 100 centimeters.

Use Cramer's Rule to solve the following system: –2x – 6y = –26 5x + 2y = 13
andriy [413]
\bf \begin{cases}
-2x-6y&=-26\\
\quad 5x+2y&=13
\end{cases}\stackrel{\textit{determinant of the coefficients}}{D=
\begin{bmatrix}
-2&-6\\5&2
\end{bmatrix}}\implies (-4)-(-30)
\\\\\\
D=-4+30\implies \boxed{D=26}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf x=\cfrac{D_x}{D}\implies x=\cfrac{
\begin{bmatrix}
\boxed{-26}&-6\\\\ \boxed{13}&2
\end{bmatrix}}{D}\implies x=\cfrac{(-52)-(-78)}{26}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{-52+78}{26}\implies x=\cfrac{26}{26}\implies \boxed{x=1}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=\cfrac{D_y}{D}\implies y=\cfrac{
\begin{bmatrix}
-2&\boxed{-26}\\\\ 5&\boxed{13}
\end{bmatrix}}{D}\implies y=\cfrac{(-26)-(-130)}{26}
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{-26+130}{26}\implies y=\cfrac{104}{26}\implies \boxed{y=4}
