What is the length of DE in the right triangle below ?

Mathematics

Answer:  The length of DE is (B) 25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the given figure, ΔDEF is a right-angles triangle, where ∠DFE = 90°, DF = 15 units and EF = 20 units.

We are to find the length of DE.

ΔDEF is right-angled at ∠DFE.

So, using Pythagoras theorem, we have

DE^2=DF^2+EF^2\\\\\Rightarrow DE^2=15^2+20^2\\\\\Rightarrow DE^2=225+400\\\\\Rightarrow DE^2=625\\\\\Rightarrow DE^2=25^2\\\\\Rightarrow DE=25.

Therefore, the length of DE is 25 units.

Thus, (B) is the correct option.

X and y intercepts of y=3x-6
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

x intercept=2, y intercept= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

X Intercept is when the graph crosses the X Axis, point of intersection. To find it, just convert into standard form and solve for x by getting rid of y.

The Y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, point of intersection. It is the constant in the slope-intercept form.

Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 cm longer than twice the length of
g100num [7]
STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter

= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm


STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf

since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).

x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48


STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm


CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250


ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.

Hope this helps! :)

A cars value starts at $32,000. After 1 year, it is worth $27,200. What is the decay factor?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

15% × 7 = 1.05

32,000 - 1.05 = 31,998.95

31,998.95 ‐‐‐‐‐> 31,999

$31,999

(If you don't need to simplify, the answer would be $31,998.95, but I did it just incase you do)
