What is the surface area of this shape

The side lengths of a right triangle are 18 cm, 24 cm, and 30 cm. You are asked to find the area of the triangle by using A = 1/

vekshin1

Answer:

1. Use the Adjacent and opposite side (Ignore the Hypotenuse)

Or use HERO'S FORMULA based on the information given

2. Area = 216cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three to four ways we can go about finding the area of a triangle. And a these would be dependent on the information given about the triangle.

From the question, you said the three side lengths are given. In such case, we employ the HERO FORMULA.

HERO FORMULA:

Area = √ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

where s = 1/2(a + b + c)

a, b, c are the three sides

But since the question insisted that we use 1/2* base * height. Let's use our know of right angle to dissolve that.

A right angle triangle has three sides. The longest is always the Hypotenuse.

Let's take it this way.

Hypotenuse = 30cm

Opposite= 18cm

Adjacent = 24cm

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Area = 1/2 * 18 * 24

Area = 1/2 * 432

Area = 216cm^2

We ignored the longest side, (the Hypotenuse)

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (5,-4) and y-intercept (0,96). Write your answer in this form: (x1,y1),(x2,y2)

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The x-intercepts are

(x1,y1)=(4,0)

(x2,y2)=(6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the given parabola is

$(y-k)=a(x-h)^{2}$

we have

the vertex is the point (5,-4)

substitute

$(y+4)=a(x-5)^{2}$

The y-intercept is the point (0,96)

substitute and solve for a

$(96+4)=a(0-5)^{2}$

$100=a(25)$

$a=100/25=4$

The equation of the vertical parabola is equal to

$(y+4)=4(x-5)^{2}$

Find the x-intercepts

Remember that

The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero

For y=0

$4=4(x-5)^{2}$

Simplify

$1=(x-5)^{2}$

Rewrite

$(x-5)^{2}=1$

square root both sides

$(x-5)=(+/-)1$

$x=(+/-)1+5$

$x=(+)1+5=6$

$x=(-)1+5=4$

therefore

The x-intercepts are

(x1,y1)=(4,0)

(x2,y2)=(6,0)

An agency has 4,000 employees. 2,000 employees have at least two years of college education. 1,000 of those employees have bache

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of employees = 4000

Number of employees with bachelors degree = 1000

Fraction of employees with graduate degree = 1/4 of 1000 = 250

1/5 of the employees with graduate degrees have PhD.

Number of employees with PhDs = 1/5 of 250 = 50

Now,

Fraction of PhD employees to total employees = $\frac{50}{4000} = \frac{1}{80}$

Hence,

1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.

Given the graph above find an equation for the graph and write your anwser in slope intercept form

lys-0071 [83]

Given:

Given that the graph of a linear function.

We need to determine the equation of the graph in slope intercept form.

Slope:

Consider any two coordinates from the equation of the line to determine the slope.

Let the two coordinates are (-4,3) and (4,-1)

The slope can be determined using the formula,

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

Substituting the coordinates in the above formula, we get;

$m=\frac{-1-3}{4+4}$

$m=\frac{-4}{8}$

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the slope of the equation is $m=-\frac{1}{2}$

Value of y - intercept:

The value of y - intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

Hence, from the graph, it is obvious that the value of y when x = 0 is 1.

Hence, the value of y - intercept is 1.

Thus, y - intercept is $b=1$

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

$y=mx+b$

Substituting the slope $m=-\frac{1}{2}$ and the y - intercept $b=1$

Thus, we get;

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line is $y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1$
