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

Circle O has a circumference of approximately 44 in. What is the approximate length of the diameter, d? inches
LenKa [72]
The distance around a rectangle or a square is as you might remember called the perimeter. The distance around a circle on the other hand is called the circumference. It is calculated as follows:

C = 2pi(r)

From this, we can solve for r and evetually solve for the diameter.

44 = 2pi(r)
r = 7.00
d = 2r
d = 14

Enter the y coordinate of the solution to this system of equations. <br> -2x+3y=-6<br> 5x-6y=15
julia-pushkina [17]
Y coordinate on solving both equations comes out to be 0
-2x+3y=-6
3y = -6+2x
put the value of 3y in equation 2nd
5x-2(-6+2x) =15
5x+12-4x = 15
x=3
put value of X in 3y = -6+2x
3y = -6+2*3 = -6+6 = 0
thus y = 0

PLEASEEE SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS!!!! It’s due in a couple hours

Answer:

x = 8.0 m

Step-by-step explanation:

With the angle presented, I'm assuming you know basic trigonometry. We know cosθ = adj/hyp from SOH CAH TOA. We have angle and hypotenuse, so plugging in those values we get cos(20°) = x / 8.5. Solve for x to get 8.5cos(20°) = 7.987387277 m = 8.0 m.

The width of a rectangle is 7 less than the length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 43.6 inches, what is the area of the re
Lera25 [3.4K]

Call the length a, the width b

Perimeter = (a+b) x 2

And since we have (a+b) x 2 = 43.6, a + b = 43.6 : 2 = 21.8

a + b = 21.8
a - b = 7

-> a + b + (a - b) = 28.8
2a = 28.8
a = 14.4
b = 7.4

So, the area of the rectangle is 14.4 x 7.4 = 106.56
