Step-by-step explanation:

y is easy.

it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.

so, Pythagoras :

y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

y = 10

x is a bit more complex.

I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.

so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have

x = a + b = 6 + b

height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)

therefore,

6b = height² = 8² = 64

b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...

so,

x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...

round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67

Answer:

IJ = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is:

1 : sqrt(3) : 2

The short leg is the length of the long leg divided by sqrt(3).

The hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.

IK = JK/sqrt(3) = 3sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 3

IJ = 2IK = 2(3) = 6

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints(-2,-2) and (4,6)

Ann [662]

Answer:

The midpoint of points $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ is $(1,2)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ . We need to find the midpoint of the line segment.

The formula of finding midpoints between the point $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}),(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\ Equation(1)$

W have points $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-2)$ . And $(x_2,y_2)=(4,6)$

Let us plug the value in Equation (1)

$(\frac{-2+4}{2} ),(\frac{-2+6}{2})$

$(\frac{2}{2}),(\frac{4}{2})\\ \\(1,2)$

So, the midpoint of points $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ is $(1,2)$ .

1) You will begin by writing down the definition of "monetary policy."

stepan [7]

It should be noted that monetary policy simply means the policy that's adopted by the monetary authority in a country in order to control interest rates and the money supply.

<h3>Monetary policy.</h3>

Your information is unclear but the clear and complete ones will be answered appropriately. The main monetary policies include the reserve requirement, open market operations, discount rate, and the interest on reserves.

It should be noted that a larger money supply leads to the reduction of the market interest rates. This makes it less expensive for consumers to borrow.

Also, a smaller money supply raises the market interest rates. Expansionary monetary policy leads to an increase in the money supply. This will lead to an increase in expenditure and therefore, the aggregate demand will shift to the right.

The graph shows the relationship between hours worked and total earnings for a store clerk. Let h represent hours worked and e r

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx → e =

h → e = 7.5h

The independent variable is hours worked, h, and the dependent variable is total earnings, e. The independent variable is the input value of a function. The dependent variable is the output value of a function.
