Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the adjacent side length in cm

opposite side is x + 2 cm

hypotenuse is x + 4 cm

x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)²

x² + (x² + 4x + 4) = (x² + 8x + 16)

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

so either

x - 6 = 0    x = 6

or

x + 2 = 0    x = -2

positive answer is x = 6 as negative length does not make sense

opposite side is 6 + 2 = 8

hypotenuse is 6 + 4 = 10

perimeter is 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 cm

What is the equation of the line that has a y intercept of (0,-3) and passes the point (-9,-9)
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the slope: y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1

Slope: -6/-9 = 2/3

The y-intercept is -3

The equation of a line: y = mx + b

y = 2/3x - 3

What is the volume of a sphere that has a diameter of 18 in.?
True [87]
The formula is 4/3 times pi times radius cubed. The radius is 9. 4/3 is 1.33. 3.14 times 9 cubed is 81 times 3.14. That is 254.34. 1.33 times 254.34 is 338.2722. That rounds to 338.

Which is not a likely area of application of statistics in business?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics has a lot of usage in business.

Using statistics as well as statistical tools helps in the provision of data to be used for business analysis. With available data we can get patterns in a a large database. Statistics can be used for auditing, as in question option b. For option c, statistics can be used for making business forecasts after the careful observation of trends and patterns that are in the data.

Option d does not make use of statistics. It has nothing to do with statistics neither does it have a computational feature.

Therefore, d.) questioning the executive's strategic decision is the answer to this question

A water balloon slingshot launches its projectiles essentially from ground level at a speed of 25.5 m/s . (You can ignore air re
lozanna [386]
A) The longest horizontal distance is reached at 45 degrees angle. This is true for any projectile launch.

B) First, calculate fligth time (using the vertical motion) and then calculate the horizontal movement.

Flight time = 2* ascendent time

ascendent time => final vertical velocity, Vy, = 0

sin(45) = Voy / Vo => Voy = Vosin(45) = 25.5 m/s * (√2) / 2 = 18.03 m/s

Vy = Voy - gt = 0  => Voy = gt = t = Voy / g

Use g = 10 m/s^ (it is an aproximation, because the actual value is about 9.81 m/s^2 depending on the latitud)

t = 18.03 m/s / 10 m/s^2 = 1.83 s

This is the ascendant time going upward.

The flight time is 2*1.83 = 3.66 s

Horizontal motion

Horizontal velocity = Vx = constant = Vox = Vo*cos(45) = 18.03 m/s

Vx = x / t => x = Vx*t

Horizontal distance = xmax = 18.03m/s*3.66 s = 65.99 m

c) The time the ballon will be in the air was calculated in the part B, it is 18.03 s
