The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 8 cm more than its shortest side. The third side is 1 cm shorter than the hypotenuse. Find the three sides of ths is triangle.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

hypotenuse = 13

shortest side = 5

third side = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sides a, b, and c, with c representing the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we can say that

a²+b² = c² using the Pythagorean Theorem.

We are given that the hypotenuse (c) = 8 cm more than the shortest side. Representing the shortest side as a, we can say that c= 8 + a. Then, the third side, which we can represent as b, is 1cm shorter than the hypotenuse, so c-1 = b

c= 8+a

c-1 = b

a²+b² = c²

One thing we can do is to solve for everything in terms of c and solve the third equation from there

c= 8+a

subtract 8 from both sides

c-8 = a

a²+b² = c²

(c-8)²+b² =c²

b = c-1

(c-8)² + (c-1)² = c²

expand

c²-16c + 64 + c² - 2c + 1 = c²

2c² - 18c + 65 = c²

subtract c² from both sides to make this an equation that we can more easily solve

c² - 18c + 65 = 0

To factor, we can find two numbers that add to (-18) and multiply to 65. Two numbers that work at 13 and 5, so we have

c²-13c-5c + 65 = 0

c(c-13) -5(c-13) = 0

(c-5)(c-13) = 0

Therefore, the hypotenuse, or c, is 5 or 13. Because a=c-8, if c=5, a would be negative 3. This is not possible, so c cannot be 5. Therefore, c=13, a=c-8=5, and b=c-1= 12

Mrs.magar sold 40 kg of fruits at rate of RS 60 per kg and gained Rs 600 . calculate purchasing rate and profit percent.​

Answers

Answer:

Purchasing rate = ₹45 per kg

Profit percent = 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of 1 kg fruit = ₹60

Therefore, S. P. of 40 kg fruits = 40*60 = ₹2400

Gain = ₹ 600 (given)

Cost price (C. P.) = S. P. - Gain

= ₹2400 - ₹600

= ₹ 1800

Rate of purchasing

= C. P. /quantity of fruits

= 1800/40

= ₹45 per kg

Profit percent

= (Gain* 100)/C.P.

= (600*100)/1800

= 60000/1800

=33.33%

Ascending order means "smallest to largest"

The smallest item is 0.135, then we move to 1.35, then to 1.352, and finally 13.5

The reason why 1.35 is smaller than 1.352 is to think of the first value is 1.350; then note how 350 is smaller than 352.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to find the equation of the graph is to find the solutions.

On the graph, the solutions are where the function intersects the x-axis. That would be where x = -2, x = 1, and x = 3.

In the equations, you will need to find factors when the x is inputted, the factor equals 0. For example, one of the factors is (x + 2). This is because x + 2 = 0, so x = 0 - 2, so x = -2. So, the three factors are (x + 2), (x - 1), and (x - 3).

The correct equation is A.

The radius is r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

So,

A = pi*r^2 = pi*5^2 = pi*25 = 25pi

is the exact area

Replace pi with 3.14 to get 25*pi = 25*3.14 = 78.5

The altitude (i.e., height) of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 1.5 square cm/minute. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 12 centimeters and the area is 99 square centimeters

Answers

Answer:

A = 1/2 B H       area = 1/2 base X height

B = 2 A / H = 2 * 99 / 12 = 16.5 cm

dA / d t = 1/2 * (B dH / dt + H dB / dt)

dB / dt = (2 dA / dt - B dH / dt) / H

dB / dt = (2 * 1.5 cm^2 / min - 16.5 cm * 2 cm / min) / 12 cm

dB / dt = (3 - 33) / 12 cm/min = -2.5 cm/min

Answers

Answer:

Brauilo is wrong because he divided by (x+1) instead of (x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder Theorem states that

if polynomial f(x) is divided by binomial x-a, the remainder will equal f(a). The factor is positive so the binomial is the same as

which is why we divide by -1, or subsitue -1 into the equation p(x).

The remainder of a polynomial division can be gotten using remainder theorem or synthetic division.

The true statement is: Brauilo did not find the value of a, because he divided by (x+1) instead of (x-1)

From the question, we have the following parameters:

[tex]\mathbf{p(x) = x^4 +5x^3 + ax^2 - 3x + 11}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Divisor =x+ 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Remainder = 17}[/tex]

First, we set the divisor to 0.

[tex]\mathbf{Divisor =x+ 1 = 0}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x+ 1 = 0}[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]\mathbf{x= -1}[/tex]

The above equation means that, the value of x that will be used to test the polynomial is -1

From the question,

Zahra used [tex]\mathbf{x= -1}[/tex]; this is represented as: P(-1)Braulio used [tex]\mathbf{x= 1}[/tex]; this is represented in the synthetic division

What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest? If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want. A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast. You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune. Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating. This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels. You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time. Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website.
