madreJ [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Adjacent = 9.75 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Hypothenus = 12 inches

Opposite = 7 inches

To find the other leg i.e adjacent, we would use Pythagorean' theorem given by the formula;

Hypothenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

12² = 7² + adjacent²

144 = 49 + adjacent²

Adjacent² = 144 - 49

Adjacent² = 95

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Adjacent = 9.75 inches.

Therefore, the other leg is 9.75 inches.

kykrilka [37]

Given:

Amount spent on 2 DVDs = $41.75

Sales tax = $3.15

Coupon = $1.00 off

To find:

The cost of each DVD.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of each DVD.

Then, cost of two DVDs = 2x

Amount spent of 2 DVDs = Cost of 2 DVDs + Sales tax - Coupon discount

41.75=2x+3.15-1.00

41.75=2x+2.15

41.75-2.15=2x

39.6=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{39.6}{2}=x

19.8=x

Therefore, the cost of each DVD is $19.8.

Heather can complete two problems in ten minutes, and when she started she had three problems done. Joel can complete three prob
Hunter-Best [27]
If Heather can do 2 in 10 minutes, then that means that she can do 12 in 1 hour. If Joel can do 3 in 15 minutes, then it means that he can do 12 in 1 hour. Add the number of problems they can do total and that will go between 30 and 50. It is just "less than", not "less than or equal to" because you want to know when the total number goes between the numbers.
Therefore, the correct answer must be <span>30 < 24x + 5 < 50.</span>
