In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle. The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

<em>It is useful in different situations involving the need to find distance or the measure of an angle.</em>

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the hypotenuse from right triangle sides. Take a square root of sum of squares: c = √(a² + b²)

A^2 + b^2 = c^2. A and B are the legs and C is the hypotenuse. fill in the leg lengths where they belong then solve for C.

Factor 6p^2 +15p+9????

Ivanshal [37]

To factor the trinomial, you can use the ac method where you multiply the first and last terms together (6 and 9) and add up to 15.
In this case ac= 54
2 numbers that multiply to 54 and add up to 15 would be 6 and 9 so place these numbers where the 15 would be:
$6p^{2} +9p + 6p+9$
Then group terms to simplify:
$(6p^{2} +9p)(6p+9)
$
Simplify any like terms:
$3p(2p+3) 3(2p+3)$
And group together again:
$(3p+3)(2p+3)$
You can simplify a 3 out of the first expression one more time to get:
$3(p+1)(2p+3)$
Which would be the factored form. I hope this helps :)

Use the Distributive Property to write an expression that is<br> equivalent to 4(y - 3).

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

4y-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a sum (or difference) by a factor, each summand (or minuend and subtrahend) is multiplied by this factor and the resulting products are added (or subtracted).

If the operation outside the parentheses (in this case, the multiplication) is commutative, then left-distributivity implies right-distributivity and vice versa, and one talks simply of distributivity.

Graph the linear equation

baherus [9]

For the equation
.. x - y = 4
you can divide by 4 to put the equation into intercept form. This form shows you both interecepts at once.
.. x/4 +y/(-4) = 1

The x-intercept is (4, 0).
The y-intercept is (0, -4).

The graph is shown below.

How many real-number solutions does the equation have?

Alexxx [7]

I believe the correct answer would be that it has one solution which is 5. Calculating x for the quadratic equation, you will only get one value so it should be one solution. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
