One leg of a right triangle is 8 units long, and its hypotenuse is 12 units long. What is the length of the other leg? Round to the nearest whole number.

4 units
9 units
10 units
20 units

Answers

Answer 1
9 units is the answer. Found by squaring 8 and 12 and subtracting 64 from 144, which gives you 80, and getting the square root of the answer which is 8.944 which rounds to 9
Answer 2

The length of the other leg is 9 units. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem which is also referred to as the Pythagorean theorem explains the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a triangle.

Given that, one leg of a right triangle is 8 units long, and its hypotenuse is 12 units long.

Let the length of the other leg be x.

12²=8²+x²

144=64+x²

x²=144-64

x²=80

x=√80

x=8.94

x≈9 units

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

A rectangular storage container without a lid is to have a volume of 10 m3. The length of its base is twice the width. Material for the base costs $20 per square meter. Material for the sides costs $12 per square meter. Find the cost (in dollars) of materials for the least expensive such container. (round your answer to the nearest cent. ).

Answers

The cost of materials for the least expensive such container is $327.081  .

In the question ,

it is given that

the volume of the container = 10 m³ .

let the width of the container = x

so , the length of the container = 2x

So , base area = 2x*x = 2x²

cost for base = $20

cost for the sides = $12

Since the volume is 10 m³

Volume = base area *  height

10 = 2x² * h

h = 10/2x²

h = 5/x²

The cost of making the container

cost of base = 2x² * (20) = 40x²

cost of sides = [2*2x*(5/x²) + 2*x*(5/x²)](12)

= 360/x

the total cost of the container [tex]=[/tex] cost of base [tex]+[/tex] cost of sides

= 40x² + 360/x

= 40( x² + 9/x)

to get the minimum cost , we differentiate with respect to x and equate to 0

= 40 ( 2x - 9/x²)

2x - 9/x² = 0

2x³ = 9

x³ = 9/2

x³ = 4.5

x = 1.651

Substituting x in the cost equation ,

we get

Cost = 40x² + 360/x

= 40(1.651)² + 360/(1.651)

= 109.032 + 218.049

= 327.081

Therefore , The cost of materials for the least expensive such container is $327.081  .

b) The bearing of Wellington from Auckland is  175.37°

How to solve bearing problems?

We are given that AW = 410 km and GW = 400 km.

a) AG  is a transversal intersecting two parallel lines N₁A and N₂B and ∠N₁AG = 115°.

Thus;

∠AGN₂ = 180 − 115 = 65°  

since the sum of the interior angles on the same sides of the transversal intersecting two parallel lines are supplementary.

Thus;

∠N₂GW = 65 + 63 = 128°.

The reflex angle;

∠N₂GWW = 360 − 128° = 232°

b) In  △AGW, we can say that by the sine rule;

(sin∠WAG)/WG = (sin∠AGW)/AG  

Plugging in the relevant values;

(sin∠WAG)/400 = (sin∠63°)/410

Solving for ∠WAG gives; ∠WAG = 60.37°

Then;

∠N₁AW = 115 + 60.37

∠N₁AW = 175.37°

The value in dollars of a $3,000 investment after n years is given by f(n) = 3,000(1.05)n. find the value of the investment (in dollars) after 4 years. (round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

The value in dollars of a $3,000 investment after n years is given by f(n) = 3,000(1.05)n.

The value of the investment after 4 years is $12600.

A simple definition of an equation is a mathematical statement that depicts the relationship between two values. In an equation, the equal sign often equates the two values.

From this question we can assume that n = 4.

In the given equation,

F(n)= 3000(1.05)n

After putting the value of n which is 4, it will be:

F(4)= 3000(1.05) × 4 = 12600

Hence, the value of the investment after 4 years in $12600.

Plan B: No per month charge,but a charge of 0.10 per text. Is there a certain number of texts,when the two plans cost the same amount? Determine your answer by setting up a system of equations that model the two plans.

Answers

The system of equation for the given condition is: 5+0.03x = 0.10x, where x is the number of texts.

There is no certain number of texts for which two plans are equal.

Let the number of texts for which two plans amount to same number be = x

Plan A: $5.00 per month charge along with a charge of $0.03 per text.

So, Plan A: 5+0.03x

Plan B: No per month charge but a charge of 0.10 per text.

Plan B: 0.10x

Since the plans amounted to same for x texts. So, the suitable system of equation is,

5+0.03x = 0.10x

Solving the equation we get,

0.10x - 0.03x = 5

0.07x = 5

x = 5/0.07 = 71.42 (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the length then n + 1 is the width

the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is calculated as

P 2(l + w) ← l is length and w is width

given P = 54 , then

2(n + n + 1) = 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

2n + 1 = 27 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2n = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 13

n + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

length = 13 cm and width = 14 cm

Which of the following expressions could represent the amount of sodium per serving, in milligrams, in the new soup recipe?

Answers

The expression that represents the amount of sodium per serving in the new soup is 0.67x milligrams.

How to find the expression that could represent the amount of sodium in the new soup?

The new soup recipe contains 33%, percent less sodium per serving than the old soup recipe. The old soup recipe contained x milligrams of sodium per serving.

The expression that can be used to represent the amount of sodium per serving in milligrams in the new soup can be computed as follows;

Old soup amount of sodium = x milligram

The new soup contains 33% less sodium per serving than the old soup recipe.

Therefore,

amount of sodium per serving in the new soup = x - 33% of x

amount of sodium per serving in the new soup = x - 33 / 100 x

amount of sodium per serving in the new soup = x - 0.33x

Therefore,

amount of sodium per serving in the new soup = x(1 - 0.33)
