An isosceles right triangle has legs of equal length if the hypotenuse is 10 cm long find the length of each leg

Answers

Answer 1

Since this is a right triangle, we know we have to use the Pythagorean Theorem: A² + B² = C² , where A and B = the legs of the triangle (which are shorter than the hypotenuse) and C = the hypotenuse.

In this isosceles triangle, A = B (because the legs are the same size) and C is 10cm longer than A and B.

Thus we get the following,

A = x

B = x

C = x + 10

We simply plug in these variables into the equation and solve for x:

x² + x² = (x+10)²

2x² = x² + 20x + 100

x² - 20x - 100 = 0

We solve for x by completing the square:

(x² - 20x + 100) - 100 = 100

(x-10)² -100 = 100

(x-10)² = 200

x - 10 = √(200)

x - 10 = 10 √2

x = 10 + 10√2 = 24

Finally,

A ≈ 24 (or 10 + 10√2)

B ≈ 24 (or 10 + 10√2)

C ≈ 24 + 10 ≈ 34 (or 10 + 10√2 + 10 = 20 + 10√2)

A college employs 15 stewards. What is the average monthly wage of the stewards if the college pays 226.20 in wages each month?​

Answers

Answer:

$15.08

Step-by-step explanation:

As the value 226.20 is the total of all wages, you can work out the mean.

Mean averages are usually worked out as the total / number of values.

Because you already know the total is 226.20 and the number of values is 15 different wages, divide 226.20 by 15 to get $15.08.

A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and  eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.

Lech bought 8 t-shirts al

using a coupon that took $4

was the cost of each shirts

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=5[/tex] dollars per t-shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

Read the problem and write your equation while following along with it

We have 8 t-shirts

Lets 8 t-shirts be represented by 8t

So for our equation we will place and [tex]8[/tex]

Our equation: [tex]8t[/tex]

Now it says we have a coupon that subtracts 4 dollars from our total

Our equation: [tex]8t-4[/tex]

The final part to add to our equation says that our total before tax was 36 dollars

So here is our equation: [tex]8t-4=36[/tex]

add [tex]$[/tex][tex]4[/tex] to both sides

[tex]8t=40[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]8[/tex]

[tex]t=5[/tex] dollars per t-shirt

-Side note, make sure to spell your question right. It was a tad bit confusing to read at the start.

180 board ft

162 board ft

192 board ft

172 board ft

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A board foot is 1 inch thick by 1 ft by 1 ft

(3) 1 x 6  8'  are already 1 inch thick ½ ft wide and 8 ft long

  3 x 1 x (6/12) x 8 = 12 board ft.

(6) 2" x 10" x 12'  are 2 thick x 10/12 ft wide by 12 ft long

  6 x 2 x (10/12) x 12 = 120 board ft.

(6)  1" x 8" x 10'

  6 x 1 x (8/12) x 10 = 40 board ft

12 + 120 + 40 = 172 board ft

Answers

The function h(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y=5 and the  vertical asymptote is x=-2.

What is the function?

Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.

Given that, h(x)=g(x+5.

Horizontal asymptote (HA) - It is a horizontal line and hence its equation is of the form y = k.

Vertical asymptote (VA) - It is a vertical line and hence its equation is of the form x = k.

Here, the horizontal asymptote is 3, and the vertical asymptote is -2

The graph of h(x) = g(x+5) had a horizontal asymptote at y=5 and the same vertical asymptote as function g(x).

Therefore, the function h(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y=5 and the  vertical asymptote is x=-2.

You are playing a game where you draw a card from a standard deck, and you will win $13 if you draw a face card,
$3 if you draw an ace and lose $5 if you draw any other card. What is the expected gain from this game?

Round your final answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

win

There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.

There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 =  12

There is 1 ace / suit

There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4

The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156

The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 =               12

Total gain = 168

Losses

Any other card costs you $5

How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36

Each one costs 5 dollars

Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180

So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.
