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.

Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the flvs test, and I actually looked on course hero (a trusted site) and found it was square, then worked the problem out and found out it was actually a square.

Quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. The specified quadrilateral falls in the category shown by: Option

What is a quadrilateral?

Any closed figure made by 4 line segments joined end to end in series is called a quadrilateral.

What is a parallelogram?

That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.

What is a rectangle?

That parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle.

A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but reverse statement may or may not be true.

What is a rhombus?

Its a parallelogram but all sides of same length.  Its diagonals are perpendicular bisector of each other, but might not be equal.

What is a square?

That rectangle whose all sides are equal is called a square.

A square has its diagonals perpendicular bisector of each other and are of same length. (this is actually a characteristic property, which means that if a quadrilateral has its diagonals equal and perpendicular, then it is a square for sure).

A square is always a rectangle, parallelogram, a rhombus and a quadrilateral but its reverse statement may or may not be true.(ie it is not always necessary that a rectangle is a square or a parallelogram is a square or a rhombus is a square).

What is the distance between two points ( p,q) and (x,y)?

The shortest distance(straight line segment's length connecting both given points) between points ( p,q) and (x,y) is:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(x-p)^2 + (y-q)^2 }[/tex](in units)

How to find if two lines are perpendicular to each other?

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are negative reciprocal of each other. That means, if one line's slope is 'a', then its perpendicular line's slope would be -1/a

For the given case, the coordinates of  the vertices of the quadrilateral are: A(2, 6), B(5, 1), C(10, 4), and D(7, 9)

The diagonals are AC and BD.

Slope of AC = [tex]m_{AC} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{4-6}{10-2} = -1/4[/tex]

Slope of BD = [tex]m_{BD} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{9-1}{7-5} = 4[/tex]

It is visible that AC and BD's slope are negative reciprocal of each other. Thus, they are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the quadrilateral is either a square or Rhombus

Now, finding lengths of the diagonals:

[tex]|AC| = \sqrt{(4-6)^2 + (10-2)^2 } = \sqrt{4 + 64} = \sqrt{68}[/tex]

[tex]|BD| = \sqrt{(7-5)^2 + (9-1)^2 } = \sqrt{4 + 64} = \sqrt{68}[/tex]

Thus, their lengths are also same,

This is why, the considered quadrilateral is a square.

If you are buying at item at a store for a price of $61, and there is a 6.7% tax added on top, what would be the total amount due at the register, to the nearest cent?

Answers

Answer:

The total amount due at the register will be: $65.09    

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an item = $61

tax on item = 6.7%

The tax amount =  6.7% × 61

                           = 0.067 × 61

                           = $ 4.09

The total cost = cost of an item + tax amount

                           = $61 + $4.09

                           = $65.09

Therefore, the total amount due at the register will be: $65.09

Two families go skiing on a Saturday. Together, they spend $95 on pizza at a local restaurant and $65.73 for breakfast. One family purchases two adult lift tickets and four youth lift tickets for $166. Another family purchases four adult lift tickets and five youth lift tickets for $263. How much would it cost two adults and five kids to ski for a day?

Answers

Answer:

$189

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a system of equations to solve this equation. They are as follows:

[tex]2A + 4Y = 166\\4A + 5Y = 263[/tex]

In this case, I used "A" to represent adult lift tickets and "Y" to represent youth lift tickets.

We need to get one of the variable (A or Y) by itself in one of the equations. I am going to use the first equation.

[tex]2A = -4Y + 166\\A = -\frac{4}{2}Y + \frac{166}{2} \\A = -2Y + 83[/tex]

Now that we have A by itself we can plug it into the second equation.

[tex]4(-2Y + 83) + 5Y = 263\\-8Y + 332 + 5y = 263\\-3Y + 332 = 263\\-3Y = -69\\Y = 23[/tex]

We have found Y now lets plug it back into the first equation to find the value of A.

[tex]2A + 4(23) = 166\\2A + 92 = 166\\2A = 74\\A = 37[/tex]

Let's check our variables by plugging them both in to the second equation.

[tex]4(37) + 5(23) = 263\\148 + 115 = 263\\263 = 263[/tex]

Lastly, we can find out how much it would cost 2 adults and 5 kids to ski for a day, using this equation:

[tex]2A + 5Y = ?\\\\2(37) + 5(23) = ?\\\\74 + 115 = 189\\[/tex]

Therefore, 2 adult tickets and 5 kid tickets would cost $189.

6. Steve is packing sacks for treats at a party. Every sack is exactly the same. Steve has 42 candy bars and 126 lollipops. a. What is the greatest number of treat sacks Steve can make? b. How many of each kind of treat is in one sack?

Answers

Answer:

Greatest sack = 42

1 candy bar and 3 lollipops

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Candy bars with C and Lollipops with L

[tex]C = 42[/tex]

[tex]L= 126[/tex]

Solving (a): Greatest number of treat sacks

To solve this, we simply calculate the GCF of C and L

[tex]42 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 7^1[/tex]

[tex]126 = 2^1 * 3^2 * 7^1[/tex]

Hence, the GCF is

[tex]GCF = 2^1 * 3^1 * 7^1[/tex]

[tex]GCF = 42[/tex]

Hence, greatest number of sack is 42

Solving (b): Number of treat in each sack.

To do this, we simply divide the number of C and L by the calculated GCF

For C:

[tex]Treats = \frac{C}{GCF}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = \frac{42}{42}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = 1[/tex]

For L:

[tex]Treats = \frac{L}{GCF}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = \frac{126}{42}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = 3[/tex]

Hence, 1 candy bar and 3 lollipops

The capacity of a small children’s swimming pool is 106 gallons of water. There are currently 15 gallons of water in the pool. You are filling the pool at a rate of 2 gallons per minute.
1. Write an equation that gives the amount y (in gallons) of water in the pool as a function of the number x minutes from now.
2. After how many minutes will the pool be full?

Answers

Answer:

1. y=2x+15

2. 45.5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You find 2x by looking at the give rate of gallons (2) a min (x). This information is given in the word problem. This gives the equation of y=2x. But you already have 15 gallons in the pool, so you need to add the +15 at the end of the equation giving you y=2x+15.

2. Y is the total gallons. This is 106 gallons (given in the word problem). We are trying to solve for x (# of minutes to fill the pool). 106=2x+15. subtract 15 from both sides giving 91=2x. Divide both sides by 2 giving x=45.5. It will take 45.5 minutes to fill up the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can help to draw a diagram.

The relation between angle, opposite side, and adjacent side in a right triangle is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  horizontal distance = (18000 ft)/tan(63°) ≈ 9171 ft

The horizontal distance to the airport is about 9171 feet.
