The height of the triangle if the base is 8 is 3.96 units

Given the following parameters

Base of a triangle = 8 units

Let the hypotenuse be "c"

Let the height be "h"

If the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is one unit more than twice the height, then;

c = 2h + 1

According to the Pythagoras theorem:

c² = b² + h²

(2h + 1)² = 8² + h²

Expand

4h²+4h+1 = 64 + h²

4h²-h² + 4h + 1 - 64 = 0

3h² + 4h - 63 = 0

Factorize the result

On factorizing, the value of the height is 2

h = \frac{-2}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{193} }3\\

h = 11.89/3

h = 3.96 units

Hence the height of the triangle if the base is 8 is 3.96 units

p(l)=1-0.2=0.8 l=lose

1)0.8*0.2=0.16

2) 0.8²*0.2=0.128

3) 0.8^3*0.2=0.1024

4) 0.2*0.8^(n-1)

which digit can replace the? to make this number sentence true 736,554 &lt; 7?6,573 &lt; 736,589 only one answer
mars1129 [50]
You need 3 for ? to make this sentence true, because if you place 3 for ?, 736,554<736,573<736,589 makes sense. If you compare the three numbers, 736,554 is the smallest, then 736,573, and 736,587 is the biggest number.
Hope this answered your question!
