Answer:
D.) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:
a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.
Fill in values:
Simplify exponents:
Isolate the variable. Subtract 225 from both sides:
Find the square root of both sides:
The missing leg length is 8.
Answer:
1800
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 27 and d = 6, thus
=
[ (2 × - 27) + (29 × 6) ]
= 15( - 54 + 174)
= 15(120)
= 1800
