One leg of a right triangle is 21 inches longer than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 39 inches.
Find the lengths of the legs of the triangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One leg - 15 inches

Second leg - 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg - x inches.

Second leg - (x + 21) inches.

Hypotenuse - 39 inches.

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (x + 21)² = 39²

x² + x² + 2*21x  + 21² = 39²

2x² + 42x - 39² + 21² = 0

2x² + 42x - 1080 = 0

x² + 21x - 540 = 0

(x - 15)(x + 36) = 0

x = 15, x = - 36

We can use only positive value.

One leg - x inches = 15 inches

Second leg - (x + 21) inches = 15+21=36 inches.

Please help. Use the steps to finish writing an equivalent equation for y in terms of x. −6x = 12 − 4y 1.  Subtract 12 from both sides: −6x − 12 = −4y 2.  Divide −4 to both sides: −6x − 12 −4 = −4y −4 x + 3 = y

Answers

Answer:

3/2 x +3 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

−6x = 12 − 4y

Subtract 12 from both side

−6x-12 = 12 − 4y-12

-6x -12 = -4y

Divide both side by -4

(-6x -12)/-4 = -4y/-4

-6x/-4  -12/-4  = y

3/2 x +3 = y

Answer:

y = 1.5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

= - 6x - 12 = - 4y

(- 6x - 12)/- 4 = - 4y/- 4

1.5x + 3 = y

Workout the value of the largest angle

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles all add up to 360° because they form a circle, so b + b + 2b + 5b = 360°, and b = 40°. The largest angle is 5b which is 5 * 40 = 200°.

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles is 360 degrees

5b+ b+b+2b = 360

Combine like terms

9b = 360

Divide each side by 9

9b/9 = 360 /9

b = 40

The largest angle is 5b

b)how long will it take for 3 people to paint a house

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

It will take 8 hours for 3 people to paint the house and 24 hrs for 1 person to paint the same house

Ratio and proportion

Fractions are ratio of two integers

If 4 people can paint a house in 6 hours, the time it will take 1 person is expressed as:

Time it will take 1 person = 6(4) =24 hours

Since the number of people is proportional to time:

p = k/t
3 = 24/t
t = 24/3
t = 8hrs

Hence it will take 8 hours for 3 people to paint the house

A bank loaned out $20,000, part of it at the rate of 9% per year and the rest at 17% per
year. If the interest received in one year totaled $3000, how much was loaned at 9%?
How much of the $20,000 did the bank loan out at 9%?

Answers

Answer:

The bank loan out at $5000 at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

A bank loaned out $20,000

Let x be the amount loaned at at the rate of 9% per year

So, 20000-x amount loaned at at the rate of 17% per year

Formula : [tex]A =P(1+r)^t[/tex]

Amount at 9% interest in 1 year

[tex]A=x(1+0.09)^1[/tex]

A=1.09x

Interest = Amount - Principal = 1.09x-x=0.09x

Amount at 17% interest in 1 year

[tex]A=(20000-x)(1+0.17)^1[/tex]

A=1.17(20000-x)

Interest = Amount - Principal = 1.17(20000-x)-(20000-x)

We are given that the interest received in one year totaled $3000

So,1.17(20000-x)-(20000-x)+0.09x=3000

x=5000

So, the bank loan out at $5000 at 9%

Answers

Answer:

Amy worked for 128 hours while Brayden worked for 112 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let A represents Amy and B represents Brayden

A = 16 + B ------(1)

A:B = 8:7------- (2)

Required

Find A and B;

Convert (2) to fractions

[tex]\frac{A}{B} = \frac{8}{7}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]7 * A = 8 * B[/tex]

[tex]7A = 8B[/tex]

Substitute A = 16 + B in the above expression

[tex]7(16 + B) = 8B[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]7 * 16 + 7 * B = 8B[/tex]

[tex]112 + 7B = 8B[/tex]

Subtract 7B from both sides

[tex]112 + 7B - 7B = 8B - 7B[/tex]

[tex]112 = B[/tex]

[tex]B = 112[/tex]

Recall that A = 16 + B

Hence, [tex]A = 16 + 112[/tex]

[tex]A = 128[/tex]

This implies that Amy worked for 128 hours while Brayden worked for 112 hours

The table of values represents the function g(x) and the graph shows the function f(x).
Which statement about the functions is true?

1. f(x) is greater than g(x) for all values of x.

2. f(x) and g(x) have the same y-intercept.

3. f(x) and g(x) intersect at two points.

4.f(x) and g(x) have a common x-intercept.

Answers

Answer:  choice 4. f(x) and g(x) have a common x-intercept

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

Explanation:

For me, it helps to graph everything on the same xy coordinate system. Start with the given graph and plot the points shown in the table. You'll get what you see in the diagram below.

The blue point C in that diagram is on the red parabola. This point is the x intercept as this is where both graphs cross the x axis. Therefore, they have a common x intercept.

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

Side notes:

Choice 1 is not true due to choice 4 being true. We have f(x) = g(x) when x = 2, which is why f(x) > g(x) is not true for all x.Choice 2 is not true. Point B is not on the parabola.Choice 3 is not true. There is only one known intersection point between f(x) and g(x), and that is at the x intercept mentioned above. Of course there may be more intersections, but we don't have enough info to determine this.
The answer is choice 4

Answer:

For question 4: the answer is 465 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a rhombus is A = bh or base times height. If you fill in those values for the base and height it would be A = 30(15.5)

Answer:

For question 5: the answer is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a parralellgram is A = bh. So in this case, A = 18(2.5)

Answer:

For question 6: the answer is 180 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a parallelogram is A = bh. But the height is in yards so we would have to convert it into feet. 3 yards equals 9 feet. SO, 20(9) equals 180.

Answer:

For question: 9 the answer is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a parrallelogram is A = bh. But in this case the area is filled in for us. 336 = b(16). To find the area, we usually multiple but we will do the opposite because we have to find the base. So, 336/16 equals the base of 21.

One student says -5 is bigger than -4 and uses money as the analogy: “If I owe $5, I have a bigger debt than if I owe $4.” What is wrong with this argument?

Answers

Answer:

This is a bad argument because when talking about negative numbers, the closer the numbers are to 0, the bigger they are. -4 is closer to 0 than -5, so -4 is the bigger number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

-5 is not larger than -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a number line. The absolute value of -5 is 5, meaning -5 is 5 away from 0 to the left. On the other hand, -4's absolute value is 4, meaning -4 is 4 away from 0 to the left. In the money scenario, owing $5 is a bigger debt because the absolute value is larger, not the number itself. Hope this helps!!

Probability question, which I am stuck on!

The probabilities of landing on 1, on 2, on 4, on 5 or on 6 when rolling a biased dice are shown in the table.
*Table In Attachment*

The biased dice is rolled 300 times.
Estimate the total number of times the dice will land on 3 or on 4.

I would like to know what a biased dice is too!

Answers

Answer:

land on 3: 36 times

land on 4: 63 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A biased dice is the opposite of a fair dice.

A fair dice has the same probability of landing any of the six numbers: 1/6

The biased dice has different probabilities for its results.

To solve this question, first we need to find the probability of landing a 3.

The sum of all probabilities need to be 1, so:

0.13 + 0.05 + p(3) + 0.21 + 0.19 + 0.3 = 1

p(3) = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12

If we roll the dice 300 times, the expected number of times the dice will land:

on 3: 300 * p(3) = 300 * 0.12 = 36 times

on 4: 300 * p(4) = 300 * 0.21 = 63 times

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

3=0.12

3 =0.12×300=36

4 =0.21×300=63

63+36= 99
