The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 9 cm and one of its legs measures 4 cm. Find the measure of the other leg.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The other leg is √65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given that the hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 9 cm, and one of the legs measures 4 cm

We want to find the measure of the other leg

In right triangles, we can use the  theorem to find the value of a side, if we know the lengths of the other two sides

The formula for the Pythagorean theorem is a²+b²=c², where a and b are legs, while c is the hypotenuse

If we say a is 4 and c is 9, then the equation will look like this:

(4)²+b²=(9)²

Raise each number to the second power

16 + b²= 81

Subtract 16 from both sides

b²=65

Take the square root of 65

b=√65, -√65

-√65 is not an applicable root for this problem, since distance cannot be negative

Hence, our answer is √65 cm

Hope this helps!

The square of the sum of two numbers is 144 and the sum of their squares is 80. Find the numbers.(Use completing the square method)
Please help me

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + y)^2 = 144

x^2 + y^2 = 80

----

x + y = 12 ---> y = 12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 - 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0

x = 4, x = 8

y = 8, y = 4

============================

x + y = -12 ---> y = -12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (-12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 + 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 32 = 0

x = -4, x = -8

y = -8, y = -4

-------------

One number is + or -4, the other is + or -8,

and the absolute value of the sum is 12.

Answer:

(4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's start writing down the two conditions:

[tex]\left \{ {(x+y)^2 = 144} \atop {x^2+y^2=80}} \right.[/tex]

Mumble.  The second almost look like a square, if only there was the [tex]2xy[/tex] term. Let's add (and subtract, so we aren't creating something new) term to the second:

[tex](x+y)^2-2xy = 80[/tex] But we know what the first term is, it's 144. Let's replace and do some number tricks to get:[tex]144-2xy=80 \rightarrow 72-xy=40\\72-40=xy \rightarrow xy=32[/tex]

At this point, let' stare at it for a while. You can tell that the system is simmetrical (if you replace x with y you still get a solution). Moreover, x and y have the same sign: it means that if (a,b) is a solution, then also (b,a), (-a,-b) and (-b, -a) are solutions, and since it's a 4th degree system (the degree of a system is the product of the degrees of the single equations, and they're both quadratic) there are no other solution.

Let's find one pair then. We're tasked to find two numbers that sum to [tex]\sqrt{144} = 12[/tex] and whose product is 32. that is, the root of the polynomial

[tex]z^2+12z+32= (z+4)(z+8)[/tex] (or if you can't see the factors right away, bruteforce it with quadratic formula, it's always good practice). That tells us that one of the two is -4, and the other is -8. From what we said above, the solutions are by combining them with plus or minus.

[tex](4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)[/tex]

One person can mow a lawn in 30 minutes. A second person requires 45 minutes to mow that lawn. How long will it take the two people, working together, to mow the lawn?

Answers

Answer:  16 1/4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the mowing rate for the first person, and B the rate for the second. X will be the time spent mowing.

We are told that A = 30 min/lawn.  B = 45 min/lawn.  These are conversion factors, so we can invert them to:

A =  1 lawn/30 min.  B = 1 lawn/45 min

If both work together, the amount of lawn that is mowed working togehterwould be the time, X (in minutes), spent times their individual rates:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

We want to know the time, X, it would take to mow the same 1 lawn together.  [Lawn Mowed = 1].  Use the equation:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

X*((1 lawn/30 min) + (1 lawn/45 min)) = 1

X/(30 min) + X/(45 min) = 1

X/30 + X/45= 1

X + X(30/35) = 30  {Multiply both sides by 30]

(1 + 30/35)X = 30

(65/35)X = 30

X = 30*(35/65)

X = 30/(7/13)

X = 30*(7/13)

X = 210/13

X =  16 1/4 minutes

Write the equation of the line passes through the point (10, 2) and is perpendicular to the line: y=-5x+7

Please show work

Answers

Answer:

Perpendicular line: y = ⅕x + 0 or y = ⅕x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (10, 2), and the linear equation, y = -5x + 7:

In order to find the equation of the perpendicular line that passes through (10, 2), we must first determine the definition of perpendicular lines.

Definition:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes ⇒ this means that when you take and multiply the slopes of both lines, it results in a product of -1.

In other words, since the slope of the given line, y = -5x + 7 is m = -5, then it means that the slope of the other line must be m₂ = ⅕ because:

                    m₁ × m₂  = -1

                     -5 ×  ⅕  = -1

Solution:

Now that we have the slope of the other line, m₂ = ⅕, and the given point, (10, 2), substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to solve for the y-intercept, b :

y = mx + b

2 = ⅕(10) + b

2 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2 -2 = 2 -2 + b

0 = b

Hence, the y-intercept is b = 0.

Equation:

The linear equation of the perpendicular line that passes through point (10, 2) is: y = ⅕x + 0 or   y = ⅕x

2x+10=4.what are the steps to follow as to get the actual value of X
