What is the length of one leg of the triangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The length measure of the second leg of the right-angle triangle is 12 units.

What is the measure of the missing leg length of the triangle?

Given the parameter:

Hypotenuse = 15 units

Length of leg1 = 9 units

Length of leg2 = x

To determine the measure of the missing side length of the right triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem.

It is expressed as:

( hypotenuse )² =  ( leg 1 )² + ( leg 2 )²

Plug in the given values:

( 15 )² =  ( 9 )² + ( leg 2 )²

Simplifying, we get:

225 = 81 + ( leg 2 )²

( leg 2 )² = 225 - 81

( leg 2 )² = 144

Take the square roots:

leg 2 = √144

leg 2 = 12 units

Therefore, the second leg measures 12 units.

The question is not complete, the complete question is:

A right triangle's leg is 9 and the hypotenuse is 15, What is the length of of the other leg of the triangle?

Mr. Valenzuela’s new bottle of shampoo contains 60 ounces of shampoo. He uses ounce of shampoo each time he washes his hair. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of washes after which 24 ounces will remain in the bottle?



Answers

Answer:the number of washes after which 24 ounces will remain in the bottle is:

36 washes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is 18.

To find the equation that can be used to determine the number of washes (x) after which 24 ounces of shampoo will remain in the bottle, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.

Given information:

- Initial amount of shampoo in the bottle (I) = 60 ounces

- Amount used per wash (U) = 2 ounces

- Remaining amount after x washes (R) = 24 ounces

[tex]I - (U \times x) = R[/tex]

[tex]60 - (2 \times x) = 24[/tex]

[tex]60 - 24 = 2x[/tex]

[tex]36 = 2x[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{36}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 18[/tex]

Therefore, the equation that can be used to find x is:

[tex]60 - (2 \times x) = 24[/tex]

And the number of washes after which 24 ounces of shampoo will remain in the bottle is 18.

One side of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cm/s and a second side is decreasing at a rate of 3 cm/s. if the area of the triangle remains constant, at what rate does the angle between the sides change when the first side is 24 cm long, the second side is 35 cm, and the angle is π/6?

Answers

A = (1/2)ab*sin(θ)
A' = (a'*b*sin(θ) +a*b'*sin(θ) +a*b*cos(θ)*θ')/2
0 = (8 cm/s)*(35 cm)*sin(π/6) +(24 cm)*(-3 cm/s)*sin(π/6) +(35 cm)*(24 cm)*cos(π/6)*θ'

There were three trains made of the cars with exactly the same number of passenger's seats. The first train had 418 seats, the second 456, and the third 494. How many cars were in each train, if it is known that each train had not more than 50 cars?

1 train=?

2 train=?

3 train=?

Answers

1 train=418  2 train=456  3train=494 add them all together and divide by 3      418+456+494=1368/3=456 i hope this helps you and each train has more than 50 cars
You apparently need to find the greatest common divisor of (418, 456, 494). You can start by looking at the differences between these numbers. They are
.. 456 -418 = 38
.. 494 -456 = 38
So, if 38 divides these numbers evenly, that is the number of seats in each car. (It does).

train 1 had 418/38 = 11 cars
train 2 had 456/38 = 12 cars
train 3 had 494/38 = 13 cars

_____
The number of seats in each car could be a sub-multiple of 38, say 19. In that case, the number of cars in each train would be twice the number shown above. It is slightly unusual for a train car to have an odd number of seats, but is not unheard of.

the function f(x)=a^x-4 will never cross the x-axis. true or false

Answers

Answer: False


Solution:

The exponential functions with the form y=a^x never cross the x-axis (x-axis is an asymptote), but in this case we have the exponential function translated 4 units downward, then this function crosses the x-axis.

As it is not given a is positive real number or negative real number.

By supposing a is any real number, we will draw the graph of the curve

[tex]a^x-4[/tex] by taking different values of x.

As i have taken different values of a ,

I found that for a< 0, the graph of the curve [tex]y=a^x-4[/tex]  does not exist.

For any other value of a, the curve cuts the x axis at one point.

For values of 1<a<0, the curve will cut negative side of X axis.

For value of a, a≥1, the curve will cut positive side of X axis.

For , a=0, the curve will not cut the x axis.

So, The function , f(x)=[tex]a^x -4[/tex] will cuts the x axis at one point for a >0 and for negative values of a, and for a< 0 ,it will not cut the x axis.

Johnson Certified bought a fiber optic cable for $975,000. The estimated life of the cable is 20 years, after which its salvage value is estimated to be $5,000. Using the straight-line method, what is the annual depreciation to the nearest cent?

Answers

Remember that straight line depreciation can be calculated using the formula:
[tex]D_{a}= \frac{C-R}{U} [/tex]
where
[tex]D_{a}[/tex] is the annual depreciation 
[tex]C[/tex] is cost
[tex]R[/tex] is the salvage value 
[tex]U[/tex] is the estimated life in years.

For our problem we know that [tex]C=975000[/tex], [tex]R=5000[/tex], and [tex]U=5000[/tex]. Lets replace those values in our formula to find [tex]D_{a}[/tex]:
[tex]D_{a}= \frac{975000-5000}{20} [/tex]
[tex]D_{a}= \frac{970000}{20} [/tex]

If the dimensions of a square pyramid are measured in yards, then the volume of the pyramid is measured in

Answers

yd * yd * yd = yd^3

The volume is measured in cubic yards.

Answer:  The volume of the pyramid is measured in cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the dimensions of a square pyramid are measured in yards.

We are to find the unit in which the volume of the pyramid is measured.

We know that

the volume of a square pyramid with length of base edge 'a' units and height 'h' units is given by

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}a^2h~\textup{cubic units}.[/tex]

Here, length of base edge 'a'  and the height 'h' of the given square pyramid is measured in yards.

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid will be measured in

[tex]\textup{yards}\times \textup{yards}\times \textup{yards}\\\\=\textup{cubic yards}.[/tex]

Thus, the volume of the square pyramid is measured in cubic yards.

Suppose that after he makes his first shot, he shoots exactly 5 more shots. what is the probability that, out of these 5 attempts, he makes an even number of shots?

The relationship between the number of hours a plumber works and the total work fee she charges is proportional. Her fee for 5 hours of work is $350. Which of the following could be combinations of values for the plumber's work hours and total work fee she charges?

Answers

Answer: I saw someone else answer this and it doesn't match up with the choices so I decided to do this my self and for anyone else who might need this in the future. For those on Khan academy the answers are B, C, AND D.

Step-by-step explanation: I found the unit rate of 350 and 5, because we can use a calculator (as stated on top) I just punched in 350 divided by 5 and got 70. Now i know this may not sound that "professional", but nothing needs to always be professional as long as its efficient and most importantly gets you the right answer. I then took the time to multiply each number, (the ones on the left : 3, 3.5, 6, 7.25, and 8) by 70. If the answer you got on the calculator match up to the number on the right, (240, 420, 507.50, and 490) its correct, if it doesn't match up, you can tell that its most likely not the answer. You should end up with three answers that all end up having the unit rate of 70. Hope this helps anyone who needed it.

ANSWERS ARE B, C, AND D.

Following could be combinations of values for the plumber's work hours and total work fee she charges : 8 hours and $490, 7.25 hours and $500, 270 for 3 hours work. So, the correct choice of options for the image are B, C, and D.

Since the relationship between the number of hours a plumber works and the total work fee he charges is proportional, we can use the following equation to calculate the total work fee:

Total work fee = Number of hours worked * Hourly rate

Therefore, the following combinations of values for the plumber's work hours and total work fee are proportional:

8 hours and $490 (the hourly rate is $490/8 hours = $61.25)

7.25 hours and $500 (the hourly rate is $500/7.25 hours = $68.75)

6 hours and $420 (the hourly rate is $420/6 hours = $70)

The other two options, A and E, are not proportional.

For example, if the plumber works for 3 hours and charges $245, the hourly rate would be $245/3 hours = $81.67.

However, if the plumber works for 3.5 hours and charges $270, the hourly rate would be $270/3.5 hours = $77.14.

This shows that the hourly rate is not constant, so the relationship between the number of hours worked and the total work fee is not proportional.

The correct choice of options for the image are B, C, and D.

P= s-c/s        solve for c

Answers

Therefore, the solution for c in terms of P and s is c = s(1 - P).

To solve for c in the equation P = (s - c) / s, you want to isolate c on one side. Here's the step-by-step:

Multiply both sides by s to eliminate the denominator: P × s = s - c.

Distribute P within s: Ps = s - c.

Now, get all terms containing c on one side: c = s - Ps.

So, the solution for c in terms of P and s is c = s - Ps, or c = s(1 - P).
