The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5cm long the longer leg is 1cm longer than the shorter leg find the side lengths of the triangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Shorter leg=3

Longer leg=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

In a right triangle, Pythagora's Theorem is satisfied. Being a the hypotenuse, b and c the legs of the triangle, then:

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

Let's call

x=the shorter leg of the triangle

The longer leg is 1 cm longer than the shorter leg, thus:

x+1=the longer leg.

Since the hypotenuse is 5 cm long:

[tex]5^2=x^2+(x+1)^2[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]25=x^2+x^2+2x+1[/tex]

Swapping sides and simplifying:

[tex]2x^2+2x+1=25[/tex]

Subtracting 25:

[tex]2x^2+2x-24=0[/tex]

Dividing by 2:

[tex]x^2+x-12=0[/tex]

Factoring:

[tex](x-3)(x-4)=0[/tex]

We have two possible solutions:

x=3, x=4

The longer leg is x+1.

If x=3, x+1=4

If x=4, x+1=5. This solution is not valid because one leg would be equal to the hypotenuse.

Thus, the solution is:

Shorter leg=3

Longer leg=4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of MC questions = x

Let the number of SA questions = y

x + y = 15

2x + 5y = 60

Multiply the top equation by 2

2x + 2y = 30

Put this underneath the second equation and subtract

2x + 5y = 60

2x + 2y = 30           Subtract

 3y = 30

   y = 10                  Subtract

2y = 20

y = 10

x + y = 15

x + 10 = 15

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

The total number of cards the child has can be calculated using the steps below.

We can use the following steps:

- Prime factorization of each number:

2= 2

4=  2²

8 = 2³

12 = 2² x 3

- For each prime factor, choose the maximum exponent in any row, and multiply those together to get the least common multiple.

i.e

The maximum exponent of 2 is 3 and the exponent of 3 is 1.

- The least common multiple.

= 2³ x [tex]3^1[/tex]

= 24

- Add one to get the total number of cards.

Now,

The child's baseball cards.

= 24 + 1

= 25

Therefore,

The child has 25 baseball cards.

A market research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the retail sales of their products from samples of retail stores. Marketing managers are prone to look at the estimate and ignore sampling error. An SRS of 28
stores this year shows mean sales of 64 units of a small appliance, with a standard deviation of 13.8 units. During the same point in time last year, an SRS of 28 stores had mean sales of 48.958 units, with standard deviation 15.4 units. An increase from 48.958 to 64 is a rise of about 24%.


1. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1−μ2

μ1−μ2, where μ1 is the mean of this year's sales and μ2 is the mean of last year's sales.


(b) The margin of error is



2. At a 0.01 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to show that sales this year are different from last year?

Answers

Answer:

Confidence interval = (4.61972, 25.46428)

Margin of Error = 3.9078675

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

This year:

Mean (μ1) = 64

Standard deviation (s1) = 13.8

Sample size (n1) = 28

Last year:

Mean (μ2) = 48.958

Standard deviation (s2) = 15.4

Sample size (n2) = 28

99% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1−μ2

α = 1 - 99% = 0.01

(μ1−μ2) ± t0.01,27 * (√s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

t0.01, 27 = 2.770683 (t value calculator)

√s1²/n1 + s2²/n2 = √13.8^2/28 + 15.4^2/28 = 3.9078675

(64 - 48.958) ± 2.667(3.9078675)

15.042 ± 10.42228

(15.042 - 10.42228), (15.042 + 10.42228)

(4.61972, 25.46428)

The margin of error :

√(s1²/n1) + (s2²/n2)

√(13.8^2/28) + (15.4^2/28)

√(6.8014285 + 8.47)

√15.2714285

= 3.9078675

Answers

Answer:

6.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is of direct variation. We will use x as our answer. 8 is 2/3 of 12, so 4.5 should be 2/3 of x. We can now make an equation.

[tex]4.5=\frac{2}{3} x\\4.5*\frac{3}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x*\frac{3}{2} \\6.75=x[/tex]

In order to solve the equation, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.

* stands for multiplication

From solving our equation, we get 6.75. We can't forget the units, so the answer is 6.75 pounds.

A downtown parking garage charges individuals to park a car according to the following rate schedule: $1.00 for the first hour, then $2 for each subsequent hour until the daily maximum charge of $9.00 is reached. These charges are represented in the graph below.

which of the following is true?

Answers

Answer:

In the graph, a white dot means that the value does not belong to the set, while the colored dot means that the value does belong.

Let's analyze each statement (from top to bottom)

1)The x-axis represents the number of hours, and the y-axis the charge.

Then let's find x = 2.

You can see that there is a colored dot at y = $3, and a white dot at y = $5.

Then the price for exactly two hours is $3, not $5.

Then this first statement is wrong.

2) You can assume that 20 minutes is in between x = 0 and x =1, then from that point, you can see that the equivalent value of y is $1. Then the individuals who park only for 20 minutes will be charged with $1,

This statement is wrong.

3) 1 hour and 15 minutes is in between 1 and 2 hours.

And as you can see, for 1 < x ≤ 2, the price is $3. Then this statement is correct.

4) Here we have x > 4.

In the graph you can see that all values of x > 4 are mapped into the black part of the graph, which is equivalent to the maximum charge of $9.

Then this statement is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator, spreadsheet, or another tool to solve for the unknown sides of the given right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 12. a is the length of the side opposite the 10 degree angle and b is the length of the opposite angle B. Round your answers to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

2 TIMES 3

The length of the side a and b is 2.0837 and 11.8176 respectively.

Length of side a and b to be determine, hypotenuse is 12 and a is the length of the side opposite the 10 degree angle and b is the length of the opposite angle B.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is branch of mathematics that helps in elevation and angle problems.

Let assume that one angle of triangle is right angle.
So in right angles triangle,
hypotenuse = 12
cos10 =  length of b /12
length of b = 12 cos10
length of b = 11.8176

Now,
sin 10 =length of a/ 12
length of a = 12 sin10
length of a = 2.0837

Thus, the length of the side a and b is 2.0837 and 11.8176 respectively.
