Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle has 3 sides: the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is the largest side of the right angle

The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet which should represent opposite and adjacent sides respectively

Opposite = 15 feet

Adjacent = 8 feet

Hypotenuse = x feet

Using Pythagoras theorem to solve

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

x² = 15² + 8²

x² = 225 + 64

x² = 289

Find the square root of both sides

√x² = √289

x = 17 feet

The 3rd side is 17 feet

How do I find domain and range from a graph/equation?
likoan [24]

domain represents the x values so for example in a diagonal line that continues infinitely, the domain is all real numbers or (-infinity, infinity)

range represents y values so it would also be all real numbers or (-infinity, infinity)

let’s say there is a line (refer to pic) that moves ONLY from point (-3, -1) and (2, 2)

the domain would be [-3, 2]

we use brackets because it’s a real number unlike infinity (also because it’s a closed circle on the graph; if the graph had an open circle you would use a parenthesis)

and the range would be [-1, 2]

if you have any more questions about this explanation feel free to ask!

For each pair of similar figures, find the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second.
Hitman42 [59]

answer:

\frac{4}{9}


explanation:

the area of the larger square is 36 (6*6), and the area of the smaller square is 16 (4*4). to find the ratio of the area, simply just put 16 over 36 and simplify.

\frac{16}{36} = \frac{4}{9}
