The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle has length 4. How long is each leg?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

you know 2 sides are the same on an a silly triangle.. I mean isosceles.. so the hypotenuse will be longer but the other two sides are the same

use [tex]C^{2}[/tex] = [tex]A^{2}[/tex] + [tex]B^{2}[/tex]  ( Pythagoras theorem )

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4^{2}[/tex] = [tex]A^{2}[/tex] +[tex]A^{2}[/tex]  ( b/c the side are the same length the can both be called A )

16 = 2[tex]A^{2}[/tex]

8 = [tex]A^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] = A

not a whole number but.. it's still a good answer square root of 8 is about 2.8284 on my calculator

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 4 and passes through the point (-2, 3)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is written in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where:

m is the slopeb is the y-interceptx and y are the corresponding coordinate points (x,y)

The slope is 2:

When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes will be opposite reciprocals. Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation:

[tex]m_{1}=2[/tex]

This can be seen as:

[tex]m_{1}=\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

Flip the fraction (reciprocal):

[tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now find the opposite:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] → [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So the slope of the perpendicular line is:

[tex]m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now make an equation written in point-slope form:

[tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/tex]

where:

m is the slope[tex]x_{1}[/tex] and [tex]y_{1}[/tex] are the corresponding coordinate points [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex]

Insert information:

[tex]y-3=-\frac{1}{2} (x-(-2))\\\\y-3=-\frac{1}{2} (x+2)[/tex]

Simplify to slope-intercept form. Solve for y:

Use the distributive property:

[tex]y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x)-\frac{1}{2} (2)\\\\ y-3=-\frac{1}{2} x-1[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides to isolate the variable:

[tex]y-3+3=-\frac{1}{2} x-1+3\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2} x+2[/tex]

Maurice's shirt has five buttons that are vertically arranged and equally spaced. His shirt is shown in the photo below. The first and last buttons are 15.25 inches apart when measured from the top of the first button to the top of the last button. What is the distance, in inches, between the top two buttons on his shirt, from the top of one to the top of the other? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

The distance between the top two buttons on his shirt is 3.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maurice's shirt has 5 buttons. Distance between first and last button is 15.25.

If we see, they would be arranged like

*

*

*

*

*

They are equally spaced between each button.

So, there are 4 equal spaces between the buttons.

Distance between each two consecutive buttons =[tex]\frac{15.25}{4}[/tex] =3.8125

So, distance between the top two buttons on his shirt is 3.8 inches.

Angle R measures 47 degrees if the angle is rotated 180 degrees around the origin what is the angle of R?

Operation on the angle; rotated through 180°

Unknown:

what is angle R now= ?

Solution:

    Angle R was originally an acute angle which was 47°;

 And an additional 180° rotation will produce;

  New Angle R  = 47 + 180 = 227°

A flat screen tv at Best Buy costs $699 . The sales tax in Virginia is 5.3%. How much tax will you pay on the TV?

Answers

Answer:

736.05

Step-by-step explanation:699.00 x 5.3%=37.047

699.00 + 37.05 = 736.05

Answer:

$37.05

Step-by-step explanation:

$699 × 5.3%

We must convert 5.3% into just a decimal (not a percentage)

To do so, move the decimal to the left two places.

This would be 0.053

699 × 0.053 = 37.047

Although the exact number is 37.047, money is only paid within two decimals places, so let's round up to the nearest hundredth place

37.047 rounds up to 37.05

$37.05 is how much tax will be paid on the TV

x is greater than or equal to −6 and x less than or equal to 5 (second option).

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be written as an "and" inequality; -6[tex]\leq[/tex]x[tex]\leq[/tex]5. Because the circle is closed on the number line, x is greater than or equal to −6 and x less than or equal to 5, and that's pretty much the answer!

Gregoria borrowed $2,450, to be paid back at 3.5% simple interest. She repays $3221.75. How many years was the loan period?

Answers

Answer:

90.7yrs.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Amount borrowed  = $2450

Interest rate  = 3.5%

Amount repaid = $3221.75

Unknown:

Number of years the load was paid  = ?

Solution:

The formula of simple interest;

    I = PRT

Where I is the interest

           P is the principal

          R is the rate

          T is the time

  To find the interest;

    Interest = Amount paid back - loan  = 3221.75 - 2450  = 771.75

Now;

     P = IRT

     2450  = 771.75 x [tex]\frac{3.5}{100}[/tex]  x T

     2450 = [tex]\frac{2701.25T}{100}[/tex]

    T = [tex]\frac{245000}{2701.125}[/tex]   = 90.7yrs

The number of years of the loan period was 90.7yrs.

2ax - 15 = 3(x + 5) + 5(x - 1) In the equation above, a is a constant. If no value of x satisfies the equation, what is the value of a ?
NEED EXPLANATION!​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

let s regroup the terms

2ax - 15 = 3(x + 5) + 5(x - 1) *** add 15 to both sides ***

<=> 2ax = 15 + 3x + 15 + 5x - 5 *** develop to remove the parentheses***

<=> 2ax = 8x + 25 *** simplify ***

<=> (2a-8)x = 25 *** subtract 8x from both sides ***

<=> (a-4)x=25/2 *** divide by 2 both sides ***

There is no solution is a-4 = 0 ,

because it would mean 0 = 25/2 and this is not possible

So it gives a = 4

Thanks

In the case when no value of x satisfies the equation so there the value of a should be 4.

Calculation of the value of a:

Since

the equation is  

2ax - 15 = 3(x + 5) + 5(x - 1)

2ax = 15 + 3x + 15 + 5x - 5

2ax = 8x + 25

(2a-8)x = 25

So a = 4

hence, In the case when no value of x satisfies the equation so there the value of a should be 4.
