Answer:

a ≈ 8.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

a² + 5² = 10²

a² + 25 = 100 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

a² = 75 ( take square root of both sides )

a = $\sqrt{75}$ ≈ 8.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 40 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for 'a' using Pythagoras theorem. Let's solve it.

10² = 5² + a²
=> 100 = 25 + a²
=> a² = 75
=> a = 8.660
=> a = 8.7

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is 8.7 m.

Hoped this helped.

PARALLEL LINES Find x and y.

Georgia [21]

4x = (130 - 2x) so x = 65/3

(3y + 40) + (130 -2x) = 180 because the angles are supplementary

plug in x

3y + 40 + 130 - 2(65/3) = 180

so 3y = 95/3

therefore y = 95/6

A tennis player wins a match 55% of the time when she serves first and 47% of the time when her opponent serves first. The playe

Ray Of Light [21]

ok so she has a 50% chance of serving first so if she serves first she has a 55% percent chance of winning multiply .55 and .50 to get .275 now she also has a 50% chance of not serving first so multiply .47 and .50 to get .235 now that you have the two probabilities of her winning you add them together so .275+.235 = .51 so she has a 51% chance of winning the game

The southward translation of the rose garden is along which axis? What integer represents a change of four yards south?

Sphinxa [80]

Going south means you're going in the negative direction along the y axis

Going 4 yards south would be represented as -4 on the y axis number line (this is the vertical number line)

Answer:

3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

First we just convert the angle from radians to degrees
$\frac{31\pi radians }{6}*\frac{180degrees}{\pi radians} =\frac{31*180}{6} degrees=930degrees$
Now that's too big, all this means is if we start rotating from the positive y-axis in a circle we will cross the starting point 2 times, 2 full circles;
$930degrees-360degrees=570degrees\\570degrees-360degrees=210degrees$
Now in which quadrant it 210 degrees?
0 degrees to 90 degrees is 1st quadrant
90 degrees to 180 degrees is 2nd quadrant
180 degrees to 270 degrees is 3rd quadrant
270 degrees to 360 degrees is 4th quadrant
So our answer is the 3rd quadrant.
