Answer:

  20.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  x^2 +12^2 = 24^2

  x^2 = 576 -144 = 432

  x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm

The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.

A randomly generated password has four characters. Each character is either A, B, C, D, E or F or a number from 0 -
krek1111 [17]

<u>44%</u>

Sample space is 36C4

Now, we want to know all of the combinations that have 1 digit in it.

So, we can have one here:

1XXX

X1XX

XX1X

XXX1

But we have 10 different digits to choose from. So, we need to introduce the combination term, nCr, where n is a list of all digits and r is how many we want.

Since we only want one, we will need 10C1 for the number of digits. But we need to choose three lowercases, so it becomes 10C1 × 26C3

Since it's a probability question, we need to divide that by our sample space, 36C4, and our percentage becomes 44%

If a line has a slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept of -6, what is the x-coordinate if the y-coordinate is 4
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

X=20. Our x coordinate is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based from the given slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept of -6, our equation of a line is y=x/2 -6. To remove the fraction we can multiply the equation by 2 to get 2y=x-12. Using this substitute the value of y coordinate 4.

2(4)= x-12

8+12 =x

X=20.
