Using the following picture which side is the hypotenuse?
1 answer:
Hi!
A <u>hypotenuse</u> is the longest leg in a right triangle.
A <u>right triangle</u> is a triangle that has one 90 degree angle.
The hypotenuse is always directly across from the right angle.
In pictures, right angles are represented by a square.
<u><em>Therefore, the side with the hypotenuse is side 3</em></u>, because we can see that the angle between side 1 and side 2 is the right angle, and the hypotenuse would be directly across.

A conic section is a curve obtained by the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. A conic section can be a circle, a hyperbola, a parabola, and an ellipse.
For a circle, the general equation of a circle with center, (a, b), and a radius, r, is of the form
For a hyperbola, the general equation of a hyperbola with center (h, k), and a and b half the lengths of the major and the minor axis respectively is of the form.
For a parabola, the general equation of a parabola with center (h, k), and a multiplier a is of the form
For an ellipse, the general equation of an ellipse with center (h, k), and a and b half the lengths of the major and the minor axis respectively.
Given the equation
It can be rewritten as
This gives an equation of a hyperbola with center (0, 0), half the length of the major axis = 30 and half the length of the minor segment = 10.
The domain of the equation is all real values of x.
