Question 10 The hypotenuse of a right triangle is I m longer than the longer leg. The other leg is 7 m shorter than the longer leg. Determine the lengths of the three sides of the triangle. (3 marks)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the longer leg then x + 1 is the hypotenuse and x - 7 the shorter leg

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + (x - 7)² = (x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL

x² + x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1

2x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides )

x² - 16x + 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x = 4 , then x - 7 = 4 - 7 = - 3 ← not possible

x = 12, then x - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 and x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

The lengths of the 3 sides are

longer leg = 12 m , shorter leg = 5 m and hypotenuse = 13 m

Answer:

B) 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

principal = 220000

First two years 10% paid.

.10 x 220000 = 22000

220000-22000 = 198000

x = percent

x = [tex]\frac{New -Old}{Old}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{170000-198000}{198000}[/tex]

x = -.1414

Round to .14

14% is the difference in amounts.

The principal (198000) will need to be reduced 14% to equal 170000

What is the length of segment FH?

Answers

Answer:

FH ≈ 15.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of large triangle)² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × (whole hypotenuse )

FH² = 11 × (11 + 10) = 11 × 21 = 231 ( take the square root of both sides )

FH = [tex]\sqrt{231}[/tex] ≈ 15.20 ( to 2 dec. places )

a) There are two possibilities for rigid transformation:

(i) 180° counterclockwise rotation around point B.

(ii) 180° clockwise rotation around point B.

b) Since transformation is rigid, it is suppose that every measure for sides and angles remains constant. In other word, sides and angles are conserved.

c) The corresponding angles and sides are presented below:

Given that QR¯∥ST¯, identify the length of PT¯.

Answers

Answer:

PT = 16.3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

From ΔPQR and ΔPST,

QR ║ST [Given]

PQ is a transversal line.

Therefore, ∠PST ≅ ∠PQR [Corresponding angles]

∠P ≅ ∠P [Common angle]

ΔPQR ~ ΔPST [By AA property of similarity of two triangles]

Therefore, by the property of similarity, corresponding sides of the similar triangles will be proportional.

[tex]\frac{PQ}{PS}=\frac{PR}{PT}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12+28}{28}= \frac{PT+7}{PT}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{40}{28}=1+\frac{7}{PT}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{7}-1=\frac{7}{PT}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10-7}{7}=\frac{7}{PT}[/tex]

PT = [tex]\frac{49}{3}[/tex]

PT = 16.3 units

The first term in an arithmetic sequence is 9 and the tenth term is 45. Use the first and tenth terms to find the sun of the first 10 terms. The equation of the sequence is an=4n+5

Answers

Answer:

270.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first term = a and 10th term = a + 9d where d = the common difference.

a + 9d - a = 45 - 9

9d = 36

d = 4.

Sum of first 10 terms = (10/2)[2*9 + (10-1)*4]

= 5 * (18 + 36)

= 5 * 54

= 270.

A farmer has an orchard that covers an area of 40 acres. He grows apples on 25 acres, peaches on 7 acres, nectarines on 5 acres, and plums on 3 acres. The fruit trees are equally distributed within the orchard. A tree is chosen at random. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, what is the theoretical probability that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees

Answers

Answer:

37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the theoretical probability that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees

Using this formula

P=(Number of all orchard acres - Apple acres)/(Total orchard acres)*100

Where,

P represent Probability

Let plug in the formula

P=(40 acres- 25 acres)/40 acres

P=15 acres/40 acres *100

P=3/8*100

P=.375*100

P=37.5%

Therefore the THEORETICAL PROBABILITY that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees is 37.5%

Answer in a complete sentence.

Answers

Answer:

The restrictions are x≠2,4,5

Step-by-step explanation:

First the denominators cannot be zero

x-2 ≠0  so x≠2

Then x-4 ≠0  so x≠4

Also, since we are dividing, when we flip the second expression, the numerator becomes the denominator, so it cannot be zero

2x-10≠0

2x≠10

x≠5

The restrictions are x≠2,4,5
