Consider the hypotenuse of a right triangle with two legs that are two inches and one inch long, respectively. The length of the hypotenuse, in inches, is between which pair of the following fractions?
a 9/4 10/4
b 17/8 18/8
c 14/4 15/4
d ¼ ⅓
e ¾ 5/4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras formula for the relation of the side lengths of a right-angled triangle :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle). a and b are the "legs".

so, we have here

c² = 1² + 2² = 1 + 4 = 5

c = sqrt(5) = 2.236067977...

so, answer option c is too big (values bigger than 3).

answer options d and e are too small (values smaller than 2).

a

9/4 = 2.25

10/4 = 2.5

this is also too big .

that leaves us with b

17/8 = 2.125

18/8 = 9/4 = 2.25

that is correct

A farmer is measuring the average height y of her tomato plants x weeks after planting sprouts. What is the equation and slope.

Answers

The equation is y = 0.5x and the slope is 0.5.

A function is said to be linear if it is a straight line graph and it can be represented by the equation:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let y represent the height of the tomato after x weeks. Let us assume that the points are (0, 0) and (6, 3), hence:

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-0=\frac{3-0}{6-0} (x-0)\\\\y=0.5x[/tex]

Therefore the equation is y = 0.5x and the slope is 0.5.

The equation for the scenario "A farmer is measuring the average height y of her tomato plants x weeks after planting sprouts" is y = mx + c

The slope = m

The duration after which the farmer measures the average height of her tomato = x weeks

The average height of the tomato plant after x weeks = y

For the slope to be required, it means the relationship between the average height of the her tomato (y) and the number of weeks (x) is linear

This means that the average height of the tomato will be represented by a linear equation as shown below

y  =  mx   +  c

The slope of the equation is m

A is the point (5, 7) and B is the point (9, -1)" Find the equation of the line AB

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation for a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

We can calculate the slope from the two given points, A(5,7) and B(9,-1).

Slope is Rise/Run, where Rise is the change in y and Run is the change in x.

From the two given points, starting at (5,7) and going to (9,-1):

Rise = (-1 -7) = -8

Run = (9-5) = 4

Rise/Run (slope) = -8/4 or -2

The equation becomes y = -2x + b

We can find b by entering either of the two given points and solving for b. I'll pick (5,7):

y = -2x + b

7 = (-2)*(5) + b

7 = -10 + b

b = 17

The equation is y = -2x + 17

Check this with a DESMOS graph (attached).

The equation of line AB is y= -2x +17

What is slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the

change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx

where, m is the slope

Given:

Points A(5, 7) and B(9, -1)

So, slope for the equation is

sloe= (-1 - 7)/ (9- 5)

slope = -8/ 4

slope= -2

Now, using slope- intercept form

y - b = m ( x- a)

y - 7= -2( x - 5)

y- 7 = -2x + 10

y= -2x + 17

Hence, the equation of line AB is y= -2x +17

Answers

Using the concept of variation, there is an inverse relationship between the number of attendees and the contribution made by each attendee.

Since the amount of chocolate decreases as the number of attendees increase;

We use inverse variation to model the scenario :

y = k/x ; k = constant of proportionality

Taking any pair of points :

3000 = k/8

k = 3000 × 8

k = 24000

Hence, the constant of variation is 24000

The variation expression is y = 24000/x

This means that the total cost of organising the gettogether is to be shared equally among the attendees

Therefore, the variation statement is "the amount paid per attendee is inversely proportional to the number of people in attendance.

Additional comment

The given information is enough to completely specify the given triangle. The reason this is true is that the given angle is opposite the longest of the given sides. A general SSA theorem cannot guarantee that will be the case, so there is no general SSA congruence theorem.

Provided that you have corresponding side and angle information for the other triangle, congruence can be determined (yes). A single triangle by itself cannot be shown congruent to anything.

Use the pythagorean theorem

225 = ?^2 + 81

subtract 81 from both sides

144 = ?^2

Take the square root of both sides

12 = ?

Answer:

  ? = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent makes a right angle with the radius at the point of tangency. That means the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the missing length.

  ?² +9² = 12²

  ?² = 225 -81 = 144

  ? = √144 = 12

The value of ? is 12.
