THEOREM:

<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>:– In a right angled triangle, the sum of squares of two legs is equal to the square of hypotenuse.

ANSWER:

Let the other leg be p, by pythagorean theorem

p² = h² - b²

p² = (8)² - (5)²

p² = 64 - 25

p² = 39

p = √39 ft.

So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [B] √39 ft.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 can be used to find any of the legs of the triangle. a and b are legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. We can substitute known values into the equation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

One leg is 5 so we can put that in as a. And c, the hypotenuse, is 8.

5^2 + b^2 = 8^2

Now solve for b.

First, square 5 and 8

25 + b^2 = 64

Subtract 25 from both sides

b^2 = 39

Take the square root of both sides

b = √39

Identify the solution to the system of linear equations<br> Y=-x-2<br> Y=x-6
NikAS [45]

Answer:

(-4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, the solution to the system of linear equations will always be where they intercept. If they both are the same line it means that there are infinite solutions, and if they don't intercept at all, that means there are no solutions.

Rectangle ABCD has a perimeter of 32 units and will
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Check below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Check the rectangle below with a line k, the axis of rotation in the center of the figure.

2) Since it has a perimeter of 32 units and it is to be rotated about the line, the solid to be created it is a cylinder. As you can see below.

3) Let's calculate its radius, based on the information given, i.e. the perimeter:

2p=32\\2p=b+b+h+h\\2p=2(b+h)\\2(b+h)=32\\b+h=16\\b.h=60\\\\b=10\: and \:h=6

Since the line of rotation is the center, and the radius is half the line segment of the basis, then the radius is 5.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

When the scale factor between two circles is “x” the scale factor between the radius is also “x” and the scale factor of the area is “x^2"

this is only one possible answer. For example, instead of radius, you could have put diameter or circumference.

Find the product.<br><br> (r + s)2
mario62 [17]
When you've got a squares bracket, this simply becomes the bracket twice, therefore, (r+s)2 becomes (r+s)(r+s)
You've then go to use FOIL, and this gives you r^2+rs+sr+s^2, and this cannot be simplified any further.
Therefore, the product of this is r^2 + s^2 + rs + sr
Hope this is what you're looking for :)
