The shorter leg of a right triangle is 21 feet less than the other leg. Find the length of the two legs if the hypotenuse is 39 feet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

leg 1= 36  feet

leg2 = 15  feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between Doreen’s house and the tower) and a and b are the other legs.  

leg1 = x

leg2 = x-21 (21 feet less than the other leg)

Replacing with the values given:  

39^2 = x^2 + (x-21)^2  

1,521 = x^2 + x^2 -42x +441

0 = 2x^2 -42x +441-1,521

0= 2x^2 -42x -1,080

For: ax2+ bx + c  

x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a  (quadratic formula)

Replacing with the values given:  

x=-(-42)± √(-42)²-4(2)-1080] /2(2)  

x= 42± √10,404] /4

x = 42± 102 /4

Positive:

x = 42+102 /4 = 36

leg 1= 36

leg2 = 36-21 =15

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

Answer 2

The length of shorter leg is 15 feet and other leg is 36 feet.

Pythagoras theorem:

Let us consider that, length of shorter leg is x feet.

So that, length of other leg is [tex](x+21)[/tex] feet.

It is given that, the hypotenuse is 39 feet.

Apply Pythagoras theorem,

                 [tex]x^{2} +(x+21)^{2} =(39)^{2}\\ \\x^{2} +x^{2} +441+42x=1521\\\\2x^{2} +42x-1080=0\\\\x=15 ,-36[/tex]

Since, side can not be negative.

So that, we have to consider x=15 feet.

Length of other leg[tex]=x+21=15+21=36feet[/tex]

Rod has to read a book which has p pages. He plans to read r pages each day for d days.
Write an equation for the number of pages left, b, in the book, after d days.

Answers

Answer:

Look at the attachment

The equation is an illustration of a linear function.

The equation for the number of pages left in the book is [tex]b =p- rd[/tex]

The total number of pages is:

[tex]Total = p[/tex]

The daily rate is:

[tex]Rate = r[/tex]

So, the number of pages read in d days is:

[tex]Pages = Rate \times Days[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Pages = r \times d[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]Pages = rd[/tex]

The number of pages left (b) is then calculated as:

[tex]b =Total - Pages[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]b =p- rd[/tex]

Hence, the equation for the number of pages left in the book is [tex]b =p- rd[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of a point which divides the segment XY in the ratio of m : n is (x, y).

Segment X(-4, -9) and Y(4, 7) has been divided in the ratio of 2 : 6.

Therefore, x = [tex]\frac{[4m+n(-4)]}{m+n}=\frac{8-24}{2+6}[/tex]

                    = -[tex]\frac{16}{8}[/tex]

                    = -2

and y = [tex]\frac{[7m+n(-9)]}{m+n}=\frac{14-54}{2+6}[/tex]

         = [tex]-\frac{40}{8}[/tex]

         = -5

Therefore, the point (x, y) is (-2, -5).

Option D. will be the answer.

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(5^3\right)^2\cdot 5^{x+4}=5^7

Apply\:exponent\:rule

x+10=7

x=-3

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(5^3)^2 · 5^(x+4) = 5^7

First of all, we simplify (5^3)^2. When you have an exponent in parentheses that is raised to another exponent that is outside the parentheses, you multiply the exponents.

(5^3)^2 = 5^(3·2) = 5^6

We cannot simplify 5^(x+4) or 5^7 any further, so our equation is now:

5^6 · 5^(x+4) = 5^7

We can divide 5^6 from both sides to get:

5^(x+4) = (5^7)/(5^6)

When exponents of like terms are divided we can subtract the exponents.

5^(x+4) = 5^(7-6)

5^(x+4) = 5^1

This last part is a bit trickier. When exponents of like terms are multiplied we add the exponents. We can use this knowledge to determine that 5^(x+4) is made up of 5^x · 5^4. Now we have:

5^x · 5^4 = 5^1

We can divide both sides by 5^4.

5^x = (5^1)/(5^4)

We simplify the right side by the same way we did earlier when we divided exponents:

5^x = 5^(1-4)

5^x = 5^-3

We can see that x = -3, but using logarithms, we can finish isolating x. Taking the log base 5 of both sides, we get:

x = log₅(5^-3)

If you don't already know, log₅(5^-3) means what exponent do you raise 5 to in order to get 5^-3. After stating it like this, we can clearly see that log₅(5^-3) equals -3.

So x = -3

Another way we could have solved the logarithm is by using one of the laws of exponents. In this case, we would use logₐ(x^y) = y(logₐm). This would give us:

x = -3(log₅5)

x = -3(1)

x = -3

Either way works.

its C not A because

For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

Answer: The answer is C. For each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear model of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In this situation, 0.29 is the slope.

The slope is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

In context, the slope indicates an increase of 0.29 miles per gallon per year after 1970.

Therefore, the slope means that for each year since 1970, passenger car fuel efficiency has increased by 0.29 miles per gallon.

When the two crews start working together, what part of all

the garbage bins will the first garbage truck empty?

The crew of a garbage truck takes 5 hours to empty all the bins in one neighborhood on pickup day. The city assigned a second garbage truck to this neighborhood. During their training, it took the crew from the second truck 8 hours to empty all the bins.

Options

• 0.6

• 0.5

• 0.7

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the total hours worked by both trucks = t hours

Number of hours worked by first truck = 5 hours

Number of hours worked by second truck = 8 hours

Let 1 =  total number of bins.

For the 1st truck the rate at which work was carried out is

(1 ) ÷ (5 ) = 1/5

For the 1st truck the rate at which work was carried out is

( 1 ) ÷ (8 ) = 1/8

Then,

(1/5 + 1/8) × t =1

(1/5 + 1/8) × t= 1

(13/40)t = 1

t = 1÷ 13/40

t = 1× 40/13

t = 40/13 hours.

Hence, the total hours worked by both trucks = 40/13 hours

the part of all

the garbage bins that the first garbage truck will empty is calculated as:

1/5 × 40/13 hr

1/5 × 40/13

= 0.6153846154

Approximately = 0.6

Therefore, when the two crews start working together, the part of all

the garbage bins that the first garbage truck will empty is 0.6 of the total work done.

-1 - -5

The distance is 4

Answer: The distance of this segment is 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, you could count the number of units in this graph, but for the sake of math, let’s use the distance formula, which is:

d = √([tex]x_{2}[/tex] - [tex]x_{1}[/tex])² + ([tex]y_{2}[/tex] - [tex]y_{1}[/tex])²

We know that the two endpoints of our line segment are (-1, -4) and (-5, -4). So we will use these coordinates and substitute them into the equation. The -4s will be our y coordinates, and our -1 and -5 will be our x coordinates.

d = √((-5) - (-1))² + ((-4) - (-4))²

d = √(-4)² + (0)²

d = √16 + 0

d = √16

d = 4

This furthermore proves that the distance between the two segments is 4.
