Explanation:
let the longer leg = x
The shorter leg = 9cm shorter than the longer leg
The shorter leg = x - 9
hypotenuse = 9cm longer than the longer leg
hypotenuse = x + 9
Using pythagoras theorem:
hypotenuse² = shorter leg² + longer leg²
(x + 9)² = x² + (x - 9)²
Expanding:
x² + 9x + 9x + 81 = x² + x ² - 9x -9x + 81
x² + 18x + 81 = 2x² -18x + 81
collect like terms:
18x + 18x + 81 - 81 = 2x² - x²
36x + 0 = x²
x² - 36x = 0
x(x - 36) = 0
x = 0 or (x - 36) = 0
x = 0 or x = 36
if x = 0
shorter side = x - 9 = 0 - 9 = -9
Since the length cannot be negative, x = 36
The longer leg = x = 36 cm
The shorter leg = x - 9 = 36 - 9
The shorter leg = 27cm
The hypotenuse = x + 9 = 36 + 9
The hypotenuse = 45 cm

We can convert a measure from radians to degrees by taking into account that π radians is equivalent to 180°.
Then, we can convert a measure in radians into degrees by multiplying by 180°/π.
We can convert 7π/11 into degrees as:
[tex]\frac{7\pi}{11}\cdot\frac{180\degree}{\pi}=\frac{7\cdot180\degree}{11}\approx114.55\degree[/tex]Answer: 114.55°
10. A car dealership offers a loan with 3.9% interest for 36 months, and you plan to purchase a car for $19,500. You can afford a down payment of $2,500.(a) What will your monthly payment be? $(b) How much will you pay in total for the car? $(c) How much will you pay in interest over the life of the loan? $
The monthly payment formula is :
[tex]M=P\times\frac{r(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex]where M is the monthly payment
P is the Financed amount
r is the rate of interest monthly, annual rate divided by 12
n is the number of payments
From the problem,
The financed amount is the difference between the car's cost and the down payment.
P = $19,500 - $2,500
P = $17000
The monthly interest rate is :
r = 3.9%/12 or 0.039/12 = 0.00325
n = 36 months
The monthly payment will be :
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=17000\times\frac{0.00325(1+0.00325)^{36}}{(1+0.00325)^{36}-1} \\ M=501.15 \end{gathered}[/tex]a. M = $501.15
b. The total payment for the car is monthly payment multiplied by the number of payment made together with the downpayment.
501.15 x 36 + 2500 = $20,541.4
c. The interest is the difference between the total payment made and the financed amount.
I = 501.15 x 36 - 17,000 = $1,041.4
5. What is the correlation coefficient for the given data?
Let us plot the data on the graph to obtain its correlation coefficient.
5) 'r' is known to be the symbol for the correlation coefficient.
Hence, the correlation coefficient from the graph is
[tex]r=0.9741[/tex]6) There is a strong correlation for the data set because the r-value is larger than 0.7 which is close to +1.

if the area of polygon A is 72 and Q is a scaled copy and the area of Q is 5 what scale factor got 72 to 5
A area= 72
Q area =5
So, if we multiply the A area by the square of the scale factor ( since they are areas) we obtain area Q:
72 x^2 = 5
Solving for x:
x^2 = 5/72
x = √(5/72)
x= 0.26
What are the domain and range of y = cot x? Select onechoice for domain and one for range.
ANSWER:
A. Domain: x ≠ n
D. Range: All real numbers
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have the following function:
[tex]y=\cot\left(x\right)[/tex]The domain of a function is the interval of input values, that is, the interval of x while the range is the interval of output values, that is, the interval of y.
In the cotangent function, x cannot take the value of radians (nor its multiples), since it is not defined, while the range is continuous on all real numbers.
That means the correct options are:
A. Domain: x ≠ n
D. Range: All real numbers

WhichIs 9.56556555... a rational or irrationalnumber? Highlight the correct answer below.181a)Whicha) Rational numberb) Irrational numberthat ap
Answer
Option B is correct.
9.56556555... is an irrational number.
Step-by-step Explanation
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a clear fraction consisting of the numerator and the denominator both being integers.
The decimal form or decimal expansion of a rational number terminates after a particular/finite number of digits (e.g., 0.25, 0.762 etc.) or begins to repeat/recur the same sequence over and over again (e.g., 0.333..., 0.267267... etc)
Anything other than these two rules, the number is regarded as an irrational number.
The number given is 9.56556555...
The dots indicate thst the numbers after the decimal point conbtinue till eternity.
Observing the numbers after the decimal point for the given number, one can see that 565 repeats once and then the number after the second 565 is 55, indicating that the 565 doesn't recur till infinity.
Since the numbers after the decimal point doesnt contain a finite number of digits and the numbers don't recur till infinity, we can conclude that 9.56556555... isn't a rational number.
Hope this Helps!!!

If agardener wants to calculate the costofgrass seed required to plant the lawn,what additional information wouldhe need to know?A the location of the walkwayBthe perimeter of the lawnс the weight of one bag of grass seedD the area that can be covered byone bag of seed
He needs option D. Because the perimeter is not the total area (it is only the distance in meters/centimeters that surround the lawn, we need to know how much area a bag of grass seeds covers, for us to know how many to buy. Also, we need the area of the walkway, since it is not covered by grass
The area of a triangle is:
[tex]Area\text{ = }\frac{b(h)}{2}[/tex]But, since there is a walkway that isn't covered in grass, we need to subtract the circle area from the triangle area

Notice that we can draw a triangle in the square , and that the length of the square's diagonal is the same as the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. The triangle is a right triangle therefore it satisfies the Phytagorean Theorem. To calculate for it's hypotenuse , we will use:
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]where c is the hypotenuse, and a, b are the other legs of the triangle.
[tex]\begin{gathered} c^2=30^2+30^2 \\ c^2=1800 \\ c=\sqrt[]{1800} \\ c=42.43 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the hypotenuse of the triangle is 42.43 cm. Therefore, the square's diagonal is also 42.43 cm
Answer:
The square's diagonal is 42.43 cm
Find the value of variable a given the transformation is an isometry.
Answer:
• a =10
,• b = 4
Explanation:
An isometry is a rigid transformation that preserves length and angle measures, as well as perimeter and area.
This means that the two right triangles are congruent.
Thus, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3a=30 \\ 10b=40\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]Next, we solve for a and b.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3a=30 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3a}{3}=\frac{30}{3} \\ a=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Likewise:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 10b=40\degree \\ \text{Divide both sides by 10} \\ \frac{10b}{10}=\frac{40\degree}{10} \\ b=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]The values of a and b are 10 and 4 respectively.

computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least one decimal place.
μ = 782.02 is the mean of the distribution of scores by standard deviation.
What is standard deviation in math?
A statistical measurement called standard deviation examines how far away from the mean a set of statistics is. Standard deviation, to put it simply, gauges the degree of dispersion between numbers in a data collection. The variance's square root is used to generate this metric.we have from standard normal table that
P(Z > 1.282) = 0.1
Therefore the given Z score of a score of 700 is given thus 1.282.
the z score is given:
x - μ / α = 1.282
700 - μ / 90 = 1.282
Therefore μ = (700 - 90)*1.282 = 782.02
So we have that μ = 782.02

What is approximation age?The precise amount is not known with certainty. Similar to proximity or approximately, the word "approximation" is derived from the Latin Proximus, which meaning "nearest." The closest estimate you can make without knowing something's exact size or measurement is called an approximation.
Despite the fact that approximation is most usually used in relation to numbers, it is also regularly used in relation to mathematical functions, forms, and physical laws. In science, the term "approximation" can refer to using a less complex method or model when the proper one is challenging to use.
For this, sampling techniques like Markov chain Monte Carlo and significance sampling as well as variationally methods like mean-field approximations and assumed density filtering have been used.

[tex]\begin{gathered} t_1=t_1 \\ \frac{x}{1.5}=\frac{x}{4}+1 \\ \frac{x}{1.5}=\frac{x+4}{4} \\ 4x=(x+4)1.5 \\ 4x=1.5x+6 \\ subtract\text{ 1.5 x in both sides} \\ 4x-1.5x=1.5x+6-1.5x \\ 2.5x=6 \\ \text{divide both sides by 2.5} \\ \frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{6}{2.5} \\ x=2.4 \end{gathered}[/tex]it means the distance to the top of the mountain is 2.4 miles, so the entire hike is twice that amount
total distance=2.4 mi*2
total distance=4.8 miles
Step 3
now, the times
[tex]\begin{gathered} t_1=\frac{x}{1.5} \\ t_1=\frac{2.4}{1.5} \\ t_1=1.6\text{ hours} \\ t_2=t_1-1 \\ t_2=1.6-1=\text{ 0.6 hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]table
I hope this helps you
