Note that c is the hypotenuse of the blue triangle, and that the Pyth. Thm. states that (length of one leg)^2 + (length of the other leg)^2 = (hyp)^2.
Therefore, (hyp)^2 = c^2 = [2sqrt(x^2+3x)]^2 + 3^2, or
= 4(x^2+3x) + 9, or
= 4x^2 + 12x + 9 = (2x+3)^2
Taking the sqrt of both sides, c = plus or minus (2x+3). Eliminate -(2x+3) because the middle term of the square of this would be negative, in conflict with the given +12x.
c=2x+3 is the correct answer.
Answer:
2.39 x 10^5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Although it is not usually written, there is always a .0 at the end of a number unless there is a specific decimal that was given.
So, the number here is 239,000.0 and if you count the number of spaces that the decimal needs to move in order to be in the correct spot for scientific notation (which is always after the first number), there is 5 spaces.
Therefore the answer is 2.39 x 10^5 miles.
Answer: Yes an isosceles triangle has at least two sides that have equal measures.
Answer:
Hypotenuse = 14.1421 inches (rounded off to four decimal values)
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of an isosceles triangle both measure 10 inches
Since the triangle is a right triangle,
We apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height of the hypotenuse
a² + b² = c²
a = 10 inches, b = 10 inches and (c) is the hypotenuse whose value we don't know.
So; 10² + 10² = c²
c² = 100 + 100
c² = 200
c = = 14.1421356237 inches
The hypotenuse is 14.1421 inches (answer rounded off to four decimal values)
8/10
4x2=8
5x2=10
this is how you know they are equal
