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

Answer:

EF = \sqrt{120}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this triangle is right, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length. The pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse(DE) is equal to the sum of the squares on the legs(DF, EF). We can write:

DE^2 = DF^2 + EF^2

and substitute the values:

17^2 = 13^3 + EF^2

289 = 169 + EF^2

EF^2 = 120

EF = \sqrt{120}

Answer:

\sqrt{120}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem  to solve this question.

The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the lengths, and c is the hypotenuse.

Using the image, we can write the equation: 13^2+b^2=17^2.

Simplify: 169+b^2=289.

Subtract 169 on both sides, we can know that b^2=120.

Square root on both sides, we can get b = \sqrt{120}.

Hope this helps!

What is the slope OF THE GRAPH, not what is A slope, what is THE slope
PtichkaEL [24]

You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.

#1: The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}       Find two points and plug it into the formula

I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)

(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)

(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{2-(-1)}{0-1}   [two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]

m=\frac{2+1}{-1} =\frac{3}{-1}

m = -3

#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:

m=\frac{rise}{run}

Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point

Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point

If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.
