Given a right triangle with a leg of 8 and a hypotenuse of 17, what is the length of the other leg?

Given A Right Triangle With A Leg Of 8 And A Hypotenuse Of 17, What Is The Length Of The Other Leg?

Answers

Answer 1
Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2 = c2
where a, b are the sides of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse

82 + x2 = 172 where x is the other side
x2 = 172 - 82
x2 = 289-64
x2 = 225
x = √225
x = 15
Answer 2

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation

bc the legs have 2 b shorter than the hypotenuse

My goodness, this is rather confusing in the way it is worded. Nevertheless, I will attempt to do what I can. Just please keep in mind that this is my own interpretation of the problem, and therefore could be... incorrect.

I think, to start out, we could set up the problem like so

15 + t ≥ 26

because t is not a set number.

Then all that is needed is to subtract 15 from both sides, and the equation becomes

t ≥ 11

So the resulting answer is t ≥ 11.

I hope that my interpretation helps.

Michiko claims that to solve the system of linear equations 15x + 8y = 1 and 21x + 4y = -13, instead of multiplying the second equation by –2 and then adding the equations, she could multiply the second equation by 2 and then subtract the second equation from the first equation. Which statement is correct?

A: Michiko is right for this system of linear equations, but her method will not work for other systems of linear equations.

B: Michiko is right for this system of linear equations, and her method will also work for other systems of linear equations.

C: Michiko is wrong because her method will give the opposite of the correct value for x for any system of linear equations.

D: Michiko is wrong because her method will give the opposite of the correct value for y for any system of linear equations.

Answer: B) Michiko is right for this system of linear equations, and her method will also work for other systems of linear equations

Hope this helped

Michiko is right for this system of linear equations, but her method will not work for other systems of linear equations, option A is correct.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

To solve the system of linear equations 15x + 8y = 1 and 21x + 4y = -13, Michiko suggests multiplying the second equation by 2 and then subtracting the second equation from the first equation.

Multiplying the second equation by 2 gives:

42x + 8y = -26

Now, subtracting the second equation from the first equation gives:

15x + 8y - (42x + 8y) = 1 - (-26)

Simplifying this equation gives:

-27x = 27

Divide both sides by 27

x=-1

we can substitute x = -1 into either of the original equations.

Using the first equation, we get:

15(-1) + 8y = 1

Simplifying this equation gives:

8y = 16

Dividing both sides by 8 gives:

y = 2

Hence, Michiko is right for this system of linear equations, but her method will not work for other systems of linear equations, option A is correct.

about 101 miles to equal the same amount as place A. (if this is daily")

so how I went about this is first I added 55+0.33 because thats how much you need to drive one mile for one day with place A. and that equaled 50.30 so then I divided 50.30 by 0.55 because thats all it costs per mile for place B so I got 100.545454545 so i just rounded it up to 101

Solve the equation: √x = 3 - (1 / 4)x

Answers

Answer:

Let u = √x which gives u2= x and rewrite the given equation in terms of u

u = 3 - u 2 / 4

Multiply all terms by 4, simplify and write the above quadratic in standard form and solve it for u.

u 2 + 4 u - 12 = 0

Two solutions: u = - 6 and u = 2

Use the substitution used above u = √x to solve for x.

u = - 6 = √x has no solution

u = 2 = √x has solution x = 4

Below is shown the graph of the right side of the given equation when written with its right side equal to zero. The x intercept of the graph is the graphical solution to the equation as shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

√x = 3 - (1 / 4)x

    Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle \sqrt{x} = 3 - \frac{1}{4}x[/tex]

    Square both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle (\sqrt{x} )^{2} = (3 - \frac{1}{4} x)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{1}{16}x^{2} -\frac{3}{2} +9[/tex]

    Set the equation equal to 0:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{-1}{16}x^{2} +\frac{5}{2} -9=0[/tex]

    Use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(\frac{5}{2})\sqrt{(\frac{5}{2})^{2} -4(\frac{-1}{16} )(-9)} }{2(\frac{-1}{16} )}[/tex]

x = 4, 36

10 —> 4
1 —> 0.4
20 —> 8
40 —> 16
39 —> 15.6
10% of 40 is is 4, because you would use the equation 10/100 = x/40. You would cross multiply and get 4/40 = 10/100.

1% of 40 is the equation 1/100 = x/40, so 0.40 is the value of x.

Hope this helps, you should be able to solve the rest by cross multiplying.

x = 37°

x = 40°

x = 260°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find angle x when two secants or tangents intersect outside the circle, simply subtract the smaller arc from the bigger arc and half the result.

Question 1

[tex]x=\dfrac12(128^{\circ}-54^{\circ})=37^{\circ}[/tex]

Question 2

To find the bigger arc, subtract the smaller arc from 360°

⇒ 360° - 140° = 220°

[tex]x=\dfrac12(220^{\circ}-140^{\circ})=40^{\circ}[/tex]

Question 3

The smaller arc can also be found by subtracting the external angle from 180°

Smaller arc = 180° - 80° = 100°

[tex]80^{\circ}=\dfrac12(x-100^{\circ})[/tex]

[tex]160^{\circ}=x-100^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]x=260^{\circ}[/tex]

#1

2x=128-542x=74x=37°

#2

Bigger Arc=360-140=220°

2x=(220-140)2x=80x=40°

#3

Smaller arc=180-80=100°

2(80)=x-100160=x-100x=260°

Answers

Answer:

C. 1/5 divide by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide two fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the other one. To find the reciprocal of the second fraction, yo just have to switch the value of the numerator and denominator (i.e. 4/1's reciprocal is 1/4).

Another important thing to note is that 1/5 x 1/4 is 1/20 because you multiply straight across numerators and denominators.

Now that we have some back ground information, let's which expression leads to 1/20!

A:

1/5 x 2/11/5 x 1/21/10Incorrect Answer Choice

B:

There are infinitely many solutions to a linear equation with the same variable term on both sides of the equation.

We have to find the coefficient of "b"

from first equation:

2a + b = -6b = -6 - 2a

from second equation:

6a + kb = -18b = (-18 - 6a)/k

solve them simultaneously:

(-18 - 6a)/k = -6 - 2a(-18 - 6a)/(-6 - 2a) = kk = 3
