For this problem, you would use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
A and B are the length and width of the triangle. The triangle is created by the diagonal line splitting the computer screen. C is the hypotenuse, which is the diagonal line, and will always be the longest side of the triangle.
When we plug in the numbers into the formula, we would get this:
13^2 + b^2 = 15^2
B is the unknown variable in which we are trying to find.
First, you square 13 and 15:
169 + b^2 = 225
Then, subtract 169 from both sides:
b^2 = 56
Finally, find the square root of both sides:
b = 7.483314774
Simplify to the nearest tenth, and the answer is 7.5<span />
Answer:
slope = m = 7/5
y-intercept = b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
y = 7/5 x - 3
slope = m = 7/5
y-intercept = b = -3
Answer:
a = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
One is given the following equation:
3a - 7 = 26
Use inverse operations to solve this equation:
3a - 7 = 26
(add (7) to both sides)
3a = 26 + 7
Simplify,
3a = 26 + 7
3a = 33
Inverse operations,
3a = 33
(divide both sides by (3))
a = 33 / 3
Simplify,
a = 11
C.
