One of the legs of a right triangle measures 12 cm and its hypotenuse measures 20 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

other leg = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let x be the other leg , then

x² + 12² = 20²

x² + 144 = 400 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

x² = 256 ( take square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{256}[/tex] = 16

£20 is divided between June, Sushil &
Fiona so that June gets twice as much as
Sushil, and Sushil gets three times as
much as Fiona. How much does June get?

Answers

Answer:

Therefore, June gets £6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = £20

Assume:

June's share = a

Sushil's share = b

Fiona's share = c

a = 2b -----------------------(1)

b = 3c -----------------------(2)

c = b ÷ 3 -------------------(3)

a + b + c = £20  --------(4)

Substitute equations (1) and (3) in equation (4)

2b + b + (b ÷ 3) = £20

10b ÷ 3 = £20

b = £20 * 3 ÷ 10 = £6

a = 2 * £6 = £12

c = £6 ÷ 3 = £3

Therefore, June gets £6

A baby giraffe was born at a wildlife preserve. The giraffe was 6 feet tall when it was born, and it grew 1.75 feet over the next 7 months.
If the giraffe continues to grow at the same rate, at what age will it reach a height of 15 feet?

Answers

The age of the giraffe when he is 15 feet tall be 1 year 1 month and  16 days.

What is fraction?

A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Giraffe height = 6 feet

Height grew in 7 months= 1.75 feet

Giraffe's height in 7 month = 7.75 feet

Giraffe's height, 1 feet= [tex]\frac{7}{7.75}[/tex] month

                                   = 0.9032 months

Giraffe's height, 15 feet=  0.9032 x 15 month

                                    = 13.548 month

                                    = 13 months 16 days approx.

                                    = 1 year 1 month 16 days

Hence, the age of giraffe will be 1 year, 1 month and 16 days

Triangle ABC is transformed. Select all the
transformations that would create a shape that is
congruent to ABC.

1. Reflection across the y axis

2.Dilation by scale factor of 1

3. Rotation 90 degrees clockwise

4. Translation 4 units to the right

Answers

Answer: All four answer choices would create congruent shapes.

===================================================

Explanation:

Reflections, rotations, and translations are considered rigid transformations. What this means is that they keep the same shape, but the shape has been moved in some fashion. As such, the "before" (preimage) and "after" (image) are congruent figures.

Imagine you drew a triangle on a clear piece of glass. If you took a picture of it from one side, then took another picture from the opposite side, then you'd get reflected versions of the triangle. Notice how the triangle has not moved at all. The camera has. Therefore, this proves that reflections keep the same exact shape. The only thing different is the orientation has swapped.

Now imagine you drew a triangle etched in stone. Grab your camera to take a picture of it. Then rotate the camera to get another picture. The two triangles are rotated copies of each other. They're the same exact triangle since the figure etched in stone hasn't changed. Only the camera has. This thought exercise proves rotations are a rigid transformation, aka an isometry.

Lastly, we'll go back to the triangle etched in stone to work with translations. A translation is any shifting. Take a picture of the triangle etched in stone. Then move the camera around to pan to another location (panning is when you keep your aim at the subject but move side to side, or up and down). Imagine the camera is stuck on a train track and can only aim one direction. The camera will take two pictures of the same triangle, of course the only difference is that they have shifted in the frame. Therefore, translations are the third final type of rigid transformation.

-----------------

Dilations are not rigid transformations, but only if the scale factor was something else than 1.

If the scale factor is less than 1, then the image shrinks.

If the scale factor is greater than 1, then the image enlarges.

If the scale factor is exactly 1, then the image doesn't change at all. This is because we multiplied all sides by 1. Multiplying by 1 doesn't change the number.

So because choice (2) mentions the scale factor is 1, this places it in the "rigid transformation" category and it's one of the four answers. Change the scale factor to anything else, and it wouldn't be an answer.

A ladder reaches 2 m up a wall. the foot of the ladder is 0.4 m from the wall. for safety reasons, the slope should be between 6.3 and 9.5. is this ladder within the safe range?

Answers

Answer:

No, the ladder is not within the safe range because the slope is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, find the slope of the ladder using the slope formula and check if the slope is between 6.3 and 9.5.

What is slope?

Slope is how steep a line is. In this case, the line is the ladder. If the ladder is too steep, them it is not safe.

How do we calculate slope?

You can calculate slope using the following formula:

[tex]slope = \frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

Rise means how faraway vertically, or how high up the ladder is.

Run means the how faraway horizontally, or from the wall the ladder is.

Slope of the ladder

Let's calculate slope using the formula.

[tex]\displaystyle {slope=\frac{rise}{run}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle {slope=\frac{2\ m}{0.4\ m}}[/tex]           Substitute the values, 2m for rise, 0.4m for run.

[tex]\displaystyle {slope=5}[/tex]                   Final answer

Is the ladder safe?

The question tells us that a safe ladder has a slope of 6.3 to 9.5. The slope, 5, is not between that range. Therefore, the ladder is not safe.

Eric surveys students at his school and finds that 80% have a pet. He wants to estimate the probability that, if he randomly selected 4 students, more than 2 would have a pet.

To estimate this probability, he lets the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent a student who has a pet and 5 represent a student who does not have a pet. He then has a computer randomly select 4 numbers and repeats this 20 times.

The results of these trials are shown in this list.

5533, 2245, 1555, 3341, 4252,5335, 5321, 4155, 2131, 3414,1532, 4251, 2523, 3311, 2352,2332, 5451, 3344, 1121, 5243

Based on this simulation, what is the estimated probability that more than 2 of 4 randomly selected students would have a pet?

Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.


Answers

Answer:  0.75

==========================================================

Explanation:

You'll look at each four digit group separately.

Since we want more than 2 people having a pet, this means the group of four must have 3 pet owners or all 4 are pet owners.

The digit 5 represents "no pet". If we see it show up twice or more, then we must cross the group off the list. Something like 5533 has the first two people that don't own pets, while the last two people do own pets. In this case, we don't have a "more than 2 pet owners" situation happening. So we must cross it off the list.

Here is the list of groups to cross off

55331555533541555451

There are five such groups we have eliminated. That leaves 20-5 = 15 groups where there are more than 2 pet owners.

We have 15 groups we want out of 20 total. It leads to the probability of 15/20 = 0.75

Part C: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)? Justify that you can use the answers obtained in Part A and Part B to draw the graph. (5 points)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

let's start with B :

the best way to find the vertex is by transforming the function into the vertex form :

y = a(x - h)² + k

with (h, k) being the vertex.

when doing all the multiplications, we get

y = a(x²-2hx+h²) + k = ax² - 2ahx + ah² + k

let's compare with the irreducible function

ax² = 4x²

a = 4

-2ahx = 8x

-2×4hx = 8x

-8hx = 8x

-8h = 8

-h = 1

h = -1

ah² + k = -5

4×(-1)² + k = -5

4 + k = -5

k = -9

so, the vertex form is

y = 4(x + 1)² - 9

the vertex is (-1, -9)

if the factor of the (x-h)² term is greater than 0, then the parabola opens upward, and if it is less than zero, the parabola opens downward.

out factor is +4, so it opens upward, and the vertex is a minimum.

A

now we know

y = 4(x + 1)² - 9

for the x-intercepts we need to find the x-values that lead to 0 y values.

so,

0 = 4(x + 1)² - 9

9 = 4(x + 1)²

3 = ± 2(x + 1) = ± (2x + 2)

for +(2x + 2) is then

3 = 2x + 2

2x = 1

x = 1/2

for -(2x + 2) is then

3 = -2x - 2

5 = -2x

x = -5/2

so, the x-intercepts are

(-5/2, 0) and (1/2, 0).

C

I know it is a parabola.

i know 3 points : the vertex and the 2 x-interceot points. i could then also calculate the points for x = 0, 1, -1, 2, -2.

and then draw the graph with a curve ruler connecting the points.
