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

Which of the following is not a requirement of a standard form equation Ax+By=C? a)A ≥ 0. b)B ≥ 0. c)A and B are not both 0. d)A
Ghella [55]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The following which is not a requirement of a standard form of equation Ax+By=C is:

        b)   B ≥ 0    

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the standard equation of a line is given by:

        Ax+By=C

where A,B and C are integers and A is taken to be a non-negative integer i.e. (A≥0) also the greatest common factor of A,B and C is: 1.

Also A and B can't be both zero.

       Hence, the correct option is:

                Option: b

Military radar and missile detection systems are designed to warn a country of enemy attacks. A reliability question deals with
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a particular detection system has a 0.83 probability of detecting a missile attack.

Also each system is independent of the other to detect missile attack.

a)  the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack=0.83

b) the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack given two systems= 1-Prob no system detects

=1-(1-0.83)(1-0.83)\\\\=1-0.0289\\=0.9711

c)  If three systems are installed,  the probability that at least one of the systems  will detect the attack

= 1- none of the three systems detect attack

= (1-0.17^3)\\=1-0.004913\\=0.995087

d) We find that probability of detecting is more if we increase the system form 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

Hence for safety and defence purpose multiple detection system is recommended.
