the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 12 inches and 15 inches.What is the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:10.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem we have two cases

First case

The given lengths are two legs of the right triangle

so

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the length of the hypotenuse

substitute

Second case

The given lengths are one leg and the hypotenuse

so

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the length of the other leg

substitute

Find the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle

so

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between the two possible lengths for the third side of the triangle is about 10.21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the lengths of two sides of a right triangle is 12 inches and 15 inches.

And we want to find the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side.

In the first case, assume that neither 12 nor 15 is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Then our third side c must follow the Pythagorean Theorem:

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

Substitute in known values:

[tex](12)^2+(15)^2=c^2[/tex]

Solve for c:

[tex]c=\sqrt{12^2+15^2}=\sqrt{369}=\sqrt{9\cdot 41}=3\sqrt{41}[/tex]

In the second case, we will assume that one of the given lengths is the hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, the hypotenuse will be 15. Again, by the Pythagorean Theorem:

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

Substitute in known values:

[tex](12)^2+b^2=(15)^2[/tex]

Solve for b:

[tex]b=\sqrt{15^2-12^2}=\sqrt{81}=9[/tex]

Therefore, the difference between the two possible lengths for the third side is:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Difference}=(3\sqrt{41})-(9)\approx 10.21\text{ inches}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A community center rents their hall for special events. They charge a fixed fee of $200 plus an hourly fee of $22.50. Lin has $300 to spend on renting the hall for a fundraiser.Using only the money she has, can Lin pay for a 6 hour event? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

No, 6 hours would cost $335, 35 over her limit of $300.

Step-by-step explanation:

she has to pay $200 plus 22.50 for every hour she rents. So, if she rents for 6 hours, she has to pay $200 + 6(22.50) or $200 + 135=335. She only has $300 so she can’t afford the event.

What is the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (-4, 5) and (4,7)?

Answers

Answer:

(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the midpoint of the line segment having end points (-4,5) and (4,7). So, here we can use the Midpoint Formula :-

Points :- (-4,5) and (4,7).

Using Midpoint Formula ,

[tex]\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

Substitute the respective values ,

[tex]\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{-4+4}{2},\dfrac{7+5}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

Simplify the numbers ,

[tex]\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{0}{2},\dfrac{12}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

This equals to ,

[tex]\rm\implies \boxed{\blue{\rm Midpoint =\bigg( 0,6\bigg)}}[/tex]

Hence the midpoint is (0,6) .

Solve the system 6x -2y+z= -2 2x+ 3y - 3z =11 x+ 6y=31

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

y = 5

z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations:

6x - 2y + z = -2

2x + 3y - 3z = 11

x + 6y = 31

Isolate one variable in any of the equations:

x + 6y = 31

x = 31 - 6y

Plug in this value for x in another equation:

6(31 - 6y) - 2y + z = -2

186 - 36y - 2y + z = -2

186 - 38y + z = -2

-38y + z = -188

z = -188 + 38y

Plug in these values in the remaining equation:

2(31 - 6y) + 3y - 3(-188 + 38y) = 11

62 - 12y + 3y + 564 - 114y = 11

626 - 12y + 3y - 114y = 11

626 - 9y - 114y = 11

626 - 123y = 11

-123y = -615

y = 5

Plug in value of y into our other answers to solve for x and z:

x = 31 - 6(5)

x = 31 - 30

x = 1

z = -188 + 38(5)

z = -188 + 190

z = 2

Check your work:

6x - 2y + z = -2

6(1) - 2(5) + 2 = -2

6 - 10 + 2 = -2

-4 + 2 = -2

-2 = -2

Correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it is this answer bur don't hold me to. If it is wrong I'm sorry in advance

Answer:

The two angles are 31° and 149°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two supplementary angles be , x and y.

         Then, x + y = 180° ----- ( 1 )

Given :  one is 25° more than 4 times other

           Let y = 25° + 4x ------ ( 2 )

Substitute ( 2 ) in  ( 1 ) :

     x + y = 180°

     x + 25° +4x = 180°

     x + 4x = 180° - 25°

           5x = 155°

             x = 31°

Substitute x in ( 2 ) :

            y = 25° + 4x

               = 25 + 4 ( 31 )

               = 25 + 124

               = 149°

An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle. A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the infestation and found that 127 trees were affected. what is the value of the z-test statistic?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the z-test statistic is [tex]z = 0.68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 12%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.12[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is different of 12%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p \neq 0.12[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.12 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.12, \sigma = \sqrt{0.12*0.88}[/tex]

A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the infestation and found that 127 trees were affected.

This means that [tex]n = 1000, X = \frac{127}{1000} = 0.127[/tex]

What is the value of the z-test statistic?

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.127 - 0.12}{\frac{\sqrt{0.12*0.88}}{\sqrt{1000}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 0.68[/tex]

The value of the z-test statistic is [tex]z = 0.68[/tex]
