Step-by-step explanation:

it is a right-angled triangle, so the side lengths need to fulfill the Pythagoras rule :

c² = a² + b²

where c is the Hypotenuse, the baseline opposite of the 90 degree angle. and a and b (often called legs) are the sides "enclosing" the 90 degree angle.

so, we have

20² = a² + 12²

400 = a² + 144

a² = 256

a = 16

FYI - we could have picked the right answer also by eliminating the wrong given answer options.

as this is a right-angled triangle :

a cannot be longer than the baseline (20).

that eliminates already the first 2 options.

and then look at the picture : a cannot be shorter than b (the other side line (12)).

that eliminates the third option.

Answer:

-25/21

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(15-(-10))/(-15-6)=(15+10)/-21=25/-21

Una persona camina 7 kilómetros hacia el norte, después 3 kilómetros hacia el este y, luego, 3 kilómetros hacia el sur. ¿A qué d

qaws [65]

Answer:

La persona está a 5 kilómetros con respecto al punto de partida.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considérese que la dirección norte coincide con el semieje +y y que la dirección este coincide con el semieje +x. A continuación, obtenemos las formas vectoriales equivalentes de cada afirmación:

(i) Una persona camina 7 kilómetros hacia el norte:

$\vec r_{1} = 7\,\hat{j}\,[km]$

(ii) Después 3 kilómetros hacia el este:

$\vec r_{2} = 3\,\hat{i}\,[km]$

(iii) Y luego, 3 kilómetros hacia el sur:

$\vec r_{3} = -3\,\hat{j}\,[km]$

El vector resultante de desplazamiento se construye a partir de la siguiente suma de vectores:

$\vec R = \vec r_{1}+\vec r_{2} + \vec r_{3}$ (1)

$\vec R = 3\,\hat{i} + 4\,\hat{j}\,[km]$

Asumiendo que la distancia coincide con el desplazamiento resultante, calculamos la distancia con respecto al punto de partida mediante el Teorema de Pitágoras:

$\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}$

$\|\vec R\| = 5\,km$

La persona está a 5 kilómetros con respecto al punto de partida.

Answer:

rational

Step-by-step explanation:

that is literally the definition of a rational number, just change the part where it says function to number and polynomial functions to number as well.

Use the equation below to find c, if a = 43 and b = 49. c=180-a-) ?

Luden [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

43 + 49= 92.

Then 180 - 92= 88

C= 88
