The variables a and b represent the legs of a right triangle. The variable c represents the hypotenuse. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side. Write exact answers using radicals when necessary. A = 3, c = 5, find b.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

a and b are two legs of a right triangle and c is hypotenuse.

a=3 and c=5

To find:

The value of b.

Solution:

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]hypotenuse^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2[/tex]

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

[tex]c^2=(a)^2+(b)^2[/tex]

Now, putting a=3 and c=5, we get

[tex]5^2=(3)^2+b^2[/tex]

[tex]25=9+b^2[/tex]

[tex]25-9=b^2[/tex]

[tex]16=b^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides.

[tex]\pm \sqrt{16}=b[/tex]

[tex]\pm 4=b[/tex]

The measure of side of a triangle cannot be negative. So, only value of b is 4.

Therefore, the value of b is 4.

Answers

Answer:

An equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

[tex]a_n=3n-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

2,5,8,11,...

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by  

[tex]a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d[/tex]

here

a₁ = 2

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

d = 5-2 = 3, d = 8-5=3, d=11-8=3

Using the nth term formula

[tex]a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d[/tex]

substituting a₁ = 2, d = 3

[tex]a_n=2+\left(n-1\right)3[/tex]

     [tex]=2+3n-3[/tex]

     [tex]=3n-1[/tex]

Annabeth has $29.00 to spend at the sporting goods store. She buys a T-shirt that costs $15.32. She also wants to buy a soccer ball for $12.87, a baseball cap for $8.39, a set of shin guards for $14.98, or a water bottle for $5.93. Use the equation $15.32 + c = $29.00, where c is the item cost, to select the most expensive item she can buy. A. 00:00 soccer ball B. 00:00 baseball cap C. 00:00 shin guards D. 00:00 water bottle

Answers

Answer:

B. Baseball cap

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total money available with Annabeth = $29.00

Amount at which T-shirt was bought = $15.32

Things that Annabeth wants to buy:

Soccer ball for the price of $12.87 or

Baseball cap for the price of $8.39 or

Set of shin guards for the price of $14.98 or

Water bottle for the price of $5.93

The equation that can be used to find the cost of most expensive item with the remaining amount of money:

$15.32 + [tex]c[/tex] = $29.00

[tex]\Rightarrow c = 29 - 15.32\\\Rightarrow c= \$13.68[/tex]

Cost of items that can be bought in the decreasing order is:

Cost of pair of shin guards ( $14.98 ) > Cost of soccer ball ( $12.87 ) > Cost of baseball cap ($8.39) > Cost of water bottle ( $5.93 )

The most expensive item that can be bought is the Soccer ball at $12.87.

Answer is:

B. Soccer ball

Cost of shin guards is more than the amount of money remaining.

If an object on earth weighs 42 lbs, what is its weight on the moon?

Answers

Answer:

6.93 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight on the moon is approximately 16.5% of what you would weigh on Earth. Using this information, we can say that 16.5% of 42 lbs would equal how much the object would weigh on the moon.

I prefer to convert percentages the decimal way, so let's do it that way. 16.5% is 0.165 as a decimal, so now all we have to do is multiply 0.165 by 42 (since we are saying 16.5% of 42 lbs), and we get 6.93 lbs.

Hope this helps! :)

Quadrilateral ABCD is translated to get quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. vertex A is at (-5,2) , and vertex A' is ay (2,-2), quadrilateral ABCD is translated blank..... if vertex B is at (-6,5), then vertex B is at​

Answers

Answer:

(-1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quadrilateral ABCD is translated to get quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. The vertex A is at (-5,2) is translated to vertex A' is at (2,-2).

The translation is x-direction, a, is the difference of x-coordinates of both the points, a=2-(-5)=2+5=7.

The translation is y-direction, b, is the difference of y-coordinates of both the points, b = -2-2 = -4.

As all the points are translated by the same magnitude as well as in the same direction, so by adding a to x and b to y coordinate of any points, the translated point can be determined.

The vertex of point B is (-6,5), so, the vertex of the point B' would be (-6+a, 5+b)=(-6+7, 5+(-4))=(-1,3).

Hence, the vertex of point B' is (-1,3).

Find the measures of the angles of a triangle in which one angle is 70°& the other two are in the ratio 3:8.

Answers

Answer:

30° ; 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

One angle of a certain triangle = 70°

The other two angles are in the ratio 3 : 8

Recall :

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Number of angles in a triangle = 3

Hence,

Sum of the other two angles + 70 = 180

Hence, sum of the other two angles = (180 - 70)°

Sum of other two angles = 110°

The angle is in the ratio 3:8

Hence,

(3 / (3 +8)) * 110

= 3/11 * 110

= 330 / 11

= 30°

(8 / (3 +8)) * 110

= 8/11 * 110

= 880 / 11

= 80°

Hence ; 30° ; 80°

13 was subtracted form a number and that difference was then divided by 5. After which, that quotient was multiplied by 7. The resulting product was -7. What was the number?

Answers

Answer:the number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let x be the number  13 was subtracted from so  that the difference becomes x-13

i.  dividing  the resulting difference by 5, then  (x-13)/5

ii.  Multiplying  the quotient by 7 makes  the expression become (x-13)/5 x 7

 with the product coming  to -7  we have our final equation as

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Step 2 -----solving  the equation

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Ist  divide  both sides by 7,

(x-13)/5 =-1

cross multiplying gives

x-13=-5

x= -5+ 13

x=8

the number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

ok, so larry's age is y, his sisters age is x

x + 8 = y

thats the equation for him being 8 years older

now 2y = 3x + 5

his sisters age is 3x + 5 to get larry's age when its doubled

substitute x + 8 in for y

2 (x+8) = 3x + 5

2x + 16 = 3x + 5

16 = x + 5

x = 11

11 + 8 = y

Subtracting a number is the same as adding its additive inverse. For which elevation do we need to find the additive inverse?

Answers

Answer: I need to find the additive inverse of the number being su tracked. That number is -9.6. The additive inverse of -9.6 is 9.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Additive inverse can be defined as adding a number with the opposite or the negative of that number to equal zero. The additive inverse of 1 is (-1), the additive inverse of 2 is (-2) and so on.

Example: 5 + (-5) = 0

In this example, (-5) is the additive inverse.

You can then take additive inverse one step when finding the additive inverse when subtracting rational numbers.

Example: 7 - 4 = 7 + (-4)

3 = 3

When finding the inverse, it is important to keep in mind that what you do to one side, you must do the opposite to another. In the example above, because you subtracted a positive four on one side, you are going to add a negative four to the other. This will make the equation equal on both sides.

An Airplane is ascending at a speed of 400 km/hr along a line making an angle of 60' with the
ground. How fast is the altitude of the plane changing?

Answers

Answer:

The altitude is changing at a speed of 200 √3 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know how far the altitude of the plane is changing

we are told that the airplane makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground

So therefore , the rate of change of its altitude will be ;

sin 60 = x/ 400

x = 400 sin 60

x = 400 * √3/2

x = 200 √3 km/hr

The altitude is increasing at a rate of 346.61 km/hr.

The diagram below denotes the given scenario.

Then from the diagram we have,

[tex]sin60^{\circ}=\frac{y}{z}\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} =\frac{y}{z}\\ y=\sqrt{3}\\z=2[/tex]

Then,

[tex]sin\theta =\frac{y}{z}\\cos\theta \frac{d\theta}{dt}\\=\frac{z\frac{dy}{dt}-y\frac{dz}{dt}}{z^2} \\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{z^2cos\theta\frac{d\theta}{dt+y\frac{dz}{dt}}}{z}\\\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{2^2(cos60^{\circ})+\sqrt{3}(400)}{2}\\ \frac{dy}{dt}=346.41 km/hr[/tex]
