<u>Answer:</u>

  • The length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

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

<em>Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for c.</em>

  • c² = 15² + 8²
  • => c² = 225 + 64
  • => c² = 289
  • => c = 17

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

Answer:

17 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.

Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

This will give you 289=c^2

Take the square root of both sides to get c=17

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x − y = 3 and passes through the point (2, −1)?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

C. y = 2x − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line

2x − y = 3

rewriting the equation in slope intercept form as answer are given slope intercept form

y = 2x - 3

slope intercept form of equation is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope

c is y intercept

thus

slope for y = 2x - 3 when comparing with y = mx + c is 2

now we know slope of two parallel line is same

thus,

the slope of  line that is parallel to the line 2x − y = 3

is 2

Let the equation of required line be y = mx + c

where m = 2

thus

y = 2x + c is the new required equation

it passes through the point (2, −1)

using y = -1 and x = 2 in y = 2x + c

-1 = 2*2 + c

c = -1 - 4

c = -5

thus,

equation of required line is option c

y = 2x - 5 ----answer

Alice works at a health care facility. She has measured the hemoglobin levels of 200 people. The data follows a normal distribut
rewona [7]
Since the data follows a normal distribution, the 68-95-97 rule can be used to describe the number of people falling under N standard deviations from the mean. Since the standard deviation is 1, hemoglobin levels of 13 -15 g/dL contains 68% of the sample, or 136 people. This means the 32 people have less than 13 g/dL and 32 people have more than 15 g/dL.
