Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle.  We can use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the missing side.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + 12 ^2 = 15^2

a^2 +144 =225

a^2 = 225-144

a^2 = 81

Taking the square root of each side

a = 9

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangle is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

where

a = short leg

b = long leg

c = hypotenuse ( longest side )

we are given the hypotenuse and long leg and need to find the short leg

given hypotenuse (c) = 15

given long leg (b) = 12

short leg (a) = ?

to find the short leg plug in the known values into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for a

a² + b² = c²

b = 12 and c = 15

a² + 12² = 15²

solve for a

a² + 12² = 15²

apply exponents

a² + 144 = 225

subtract 144 from both sides

a² = 81

take the square root of both sides

√a² = √81

a = 9

Mary and Gary had some stickers in the ratio 5:3. After Mary had given 1/3 of her stickers to Gary, the new ratio of the number
polet [3.4K]

The total number of stickers the 2 children had was 192 stickers.

Let x represent Mary initial stickers, y represent Gary initial stickers and z represent the total stickers.

x + y = z

  • x + y - z = 0     (1)

They shared in the ratio of 5:3, hence:

x = (5/8)z

  • 8x - 5z = 0      (2)

Mary gives 1/3 of her stickers to Gary to have 32 more stickers than her.

(1/3)x = (1/3)(5/8)z = (5/24)z

y + (1/3)x = (2/3)x + 32

  • y - (1/3)x = 32    (3)

Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 gives:

x = 120, y = 72, z = 192

The total number of stickers the 2 children had was 192 stickers.

the distance in miles a family has traveled so far on their trip can be modeled by the equation y=0.6x - 75, where x is the numb
Andre45 [30]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.6 x -75

201=0.6x-75

0.6x=276

x= 276/.6

=460

So, travelled for 460 minutes.

Twenty-eight athletes participate in a 100-meter race. The time of each athlete is measured during the qualification round. The
andriy [413]

The average time of the 20 athletes who did not qualify for the final is 11.2 seconds .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Twenty-eight athletes participate in a 100-meter race. The time of each athlete is measured during the qualification round. The average time is 11 seconds. The 8 athletes with the fastest time qualified for the final. The average time of these 8 athletes is 10.5 seconds. Let's have equations for this:

\frac{x_1+x_2+.....+x_2_8}{28} = 11 where x_1, x_2, ....., x_2_8 are athletes

⇒ x_1 + x_2 + .. + x_2_8 = 11(28)= 308

⇒ (x_1 + x_2 + .. + x_8 )+ (x_9+x_1_0+...+x_2_8) = 308

⇒ (\frac{x_1 + x_2 + .. + x_8}{8}  )(8)+ (\frac{x_9+x_1_0+...+x_2_8}{20} )(20) = 308

⇒ 10.5(8)+m(20) = 308 , where m is average time of the 20 athletes who did not qualify for the final.

⇒ 84+m(20) = 308

⇒ 20m= 224

⇒ m=11.2

∴ The average time of the 20 athletes who did not qualify for the final is 11.2 seconds .
