One of the legs of a right triangle measures 3 cm and its hypotenuse measures 16 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

According to the Pythagoras theorem, the value of the other leg is, 15.7 cm

Pythagoras theorem:

Pythagoras theorem defines that  the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Given,

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 3 cm and its hypotenuse measures 16 cm.

Here we need to find the measure of the other leg and round off it to nearest tenth.

Though the given question, we know that the value of

Hypotenuse = 16 cm

one leg = 3cm,

Then let us consider the length of the other leg as x.

So, according to the Pythagoras theorem,

It can be calculated as,

=> hypotenuse² = one leg² + other leg²

=> 16² = 3² + x²

=> 256 = 9 + x²

Here we need the value of x, so it can be rewritten as,

=> 247 = x²

=> x = √247

When we take square root for 247, then we get the value of x as,

=> x = 15.716

When we round off it to the nearest tenth then we get the value of another leg as 15.7 cm.

The combined group's average is 71.16.

Given;

If the average test score for one class of 35 students is 75.3 while the average test score for another class of 26 students is 65.6

Mean of 35 student's test scores = 75.3

The total score of 35 students is the mean * test score

=35 * 75.3   =2635.5

Mean of 26 student's test scores = 65.6

The total score of 26 students = 26 * 65.6  =1705.6

Mean of combined group = (Total score of 35 students + Total score of 26 students) / Number of total students

                                          = (12635.5 + 1705.6)  / 61

The general term of the Arithmetic sequence is [tex]T_{n} = -6n +4[/tex]

The given arithmetic sequence is -2, -8, -14, -20

Answers

The time taken for the increase in temperature by 4 degrees Celsius is 1/2 minute.

Suraj took a slice of pizza from the freezer and put it in the oven. The pizza's temperature (in degrees Celsius) as a function of time (in minutes) is given in the form of a graph. The coordinates of the points through which the line passes are (2, 10) and (4.5, 30). We can find the slope of the straight line. If the coordinates of two points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the slope of the passing line is given as below.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x2)

m = (30 - 10)/(4.5 - 2)

m = 20/2.5

m = 8

This means there is an increase of 8 degrees in temperature in one minute. We need to calculate the time taken for a 4-degree increase in temperature.

m = Δy/Δx

8 = 4/Δx

Δx = 4/8 = 1/2

Hence, the increase in temperature by 4 degrees Celsius took half a minute.

Answer:

1.01 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of drink is 1.01 g/cm³ when 25 cm³ of apple juice are mixed with 15 cm³ of fruit syrup and 280 cm³ of carbonated water to make a drink with a volume of 320 cm³.

25 cm³ of apple juice are mixed with 15 cm³ of fruit syrup and

280 cm³ of carbonated water to make a drink with a volume of 320 cm³.

Let us find the mass of each drink mixed to make the new drink

mass = density × volume

mass of apple juice =  1.05 × 25

                                = 26.25 g

Mass of fruit syrup = 1.4 × 15

                              = 21 g

Mass of carbonated water = 0.99 × 280

                                           = 277.2 g

Total mass of the drink = 26.25 g + 21 g + 277.2 g

                                      = 324.45 g

Volume of the given drink =  320 cm³

Density of the drink = total mass of liquids/ volume

                                = 324.45g/320cm³

                                 = 1.01 g/cm³

Thus, the density of drink is 1.01 g/cm³ when 25 cm³ of apple juice are mixed with 15 cm³ of fruit syrup and 280 cm³ of carbonated water to make a drink with a volume of 320 cm³.

At a particular restaurant, each mini hotdog has 90 calories and each pizza roll has 50 calories. A combination meal with pizza rolls and mini hotdogs is shown to have 860 total calories and 6 more pizza rolls than mini hotdogs. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of mini hotdogs in the combination meal and the number of pizza rolls in the combination meal. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answers

Let X= # of mini hotdogs
Let Y= # of pizza rolls

90x+ 50y = 860
Since 6 more pizza rolls than mini hotdogs:
y-X=6
System of Equations:
90x+50y = 860
y-X-6

The number of mini hotdogs in the combination meal is 4.

The number of pizza rolls in the combination meal is 10.

The variables that you use to write the system are x and (x + 6).

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example:

2x + 3 = 9 is an equation

We have,

Number of hot dogs = x

Number of pizza = x + 6

Hot dogs calories = 90

Pizza calories = 50

Now,

90x + 50(x + 6) = 860

Solve for x.

90x + 50x + 300 = 860

140x = 860 - 300

140x = 560

x = 560/140

x = 4

We can cross-check.

90 x 4 + 50 x 10 = 860

360 + 500 = 860

860 = 860

Thus,

The number of hot dogs is 4.

The number of pizzas is 10.
