which measurements best approximate the lengths of the legs, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter, of a right triangle if the hypotenuse is 70 cm and the shorter leg is one-third the length of the longer leg?

Answers

Answer 1

The length of the base will be equal to 65.99 centimeters.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides. According to this statement, the areas of the squares on the other two sides add up to the size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse.

The formula for the Pythagorean theorem is given below:-

H² = B² + P²

Given that in a right triangle if the hypotenuse is 70 cm and the shorter leg is one-third the length of the longer leg.

P = 70/ 3 cm

H = 70 cm

The value of the leg will be calculated as:-

H² = B² + P²

70² = B² + (70/3)²

B² = 70² -  (70/3)²

B = √4355

B = 65.99 cm

Therefore, the length of the base will be equal to 65.99 centimeters.

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that

The height of the tree is of 91.6 meters.

The graph for this problem is given at the end of the answer.

What are the relations in a right triangle?

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

From the diagram graphed, we can build two relations involving the tangent of the angles, as follows:

From the smaller right triangle:

tan(43º) = h/x

0.9325 = h/x

x = (1/0.9325)h.

x = 1.0724h (we want to find h, hence we write x as a function of h).

From the larger right triangle:

tan(38º) = h/(x + 19).

tan(38º) = h/(1.0724h + 19).

0.7813 = h/(1.0724h + 19).

Applying cross multiplication:

h = 0.7813(1.0724h + 19).

h = 0.8379h + 14.8447.

0.1621h = 14.8447

h = 14.8447/0.1621

h = 91.6 meters.

The height of the tree is of 91.6 meters.

Find a quadratic function that includes the set of values below
(0,8) (2,10) (3,1)

Answers

The quadratic function is defined as follows:

- 2 / 3 x² + 7 / 3 x + 8

How to find quadratic function?

The quadratic function has the following sets of values below:

(0,8) (2,10) (3,1).

The quadratic function is represented as follows:

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

using  (0,8)

8 = a(0)² + b(0) + c

8 = c

Therefore, using (2, 10)(3 , 1).

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

10 = a(2)² + b(2) + 8

10 - 8 = 4a + 2b

2 = 4a + 2b

1 = 2a + b

1 = a(3)² + b(3) + 8

1 = 9a + 3b

Hence, combine the equations,

2a + b = 1

9a + 3b = 1

multiply equation(i) by 3

6a + 3b = 3

9a + 3b = 1

3a = - 2

a = - 2 / 3

Therefore,

9a + 3b = 1

9(- 2  / 3) + 3b = 1

-6 + 3b = 1

3b = 7

b = 7 / 3

Therefore, the quadratic function is defined as follows:

- 2 / 3 x² + 7 / 3 x + 8

The formula for calculating Alex's earnings from his employment at the theme park is 8(40 x 9 + 100) = 8(360 + 100) = 8(460) = $3,680.

Given: that the plane ticket costs $2,200 and that y = 11.5x gives the function that represents the potential earnings Alex may make from the tech internship, the inequality that reflects the maximum number of hours Alex can work at the internship follows.

He puts in 20 hours every week at the internship, which translates to 160 hours of work over the course of 8 weeks.

Given that the internship pays $11.5 an hour for 160 hours, her earnings of 11.5 x 160 = $1,840 will not be sufficient to cover the cost of the plane ticket.

A few of the theme park employment that are available in this sector include costume character work, ride technician, admissions attendant, lifeguard, and gaming attendant. Workers at concession stands must be swift to prevent long queues and receive cash for food and drinks.

While the earth itself is estimated to be approximately five billion years old, most landforms are not nearly that old. Scientists debate what the oldest landform truly is, but it might be on Baffin Island. On this large northern Canadian island, which falls inside the Arctic Circle, rocks have been found that are believed to be over 4.5 billion years old. If these rocks truly are that old, then they have been around longer than the earths crust!It is hard to believe that any rocks could be older than the outer surface of the earth, but their discovery in 2016 has given scientists some interesting insights about how the earth was created. As melted mantle rose to the surface and the earths denser elements sunk toward its center to form its core, most of the first rocks were absorbed into the earths inner layers. But not the rock on Baffin Island.While there is still debate about whether Baffin Island is the oldest place on the earth, there is little question of where one of the youngest is. In December of 2014, an underwater volcano near the Pacific islands of Tonga erupted violently and continued to spurt lava and ash for over a month. When the volcano quieted, there was a new island in its place. Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai, as the island was named, was about one square mile in area and covered in black gravel.Its not unusual for small islands to be created by volcanoes, which erupt when the magma of the earths mantle breaks through the crust in the form of lava and ash. What is unusual is for those islands to remain longer than five years after they have been created. Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai was expected to dissolve back into the Pacific Ocean shortly after it was formed. But in 2020, the island was not only still around, but had developed a thriving ecosystem. From above, much of the dark gray island is now lush and green, and birds, such as owls and seagulls, make it their home.
