The length of the hypotenuse = 7.1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles right angle triangle if one leg is 5 inch, another side along the right angle is 5 in

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{side^{2} +base^{2} }$ ( by Pythagoras theorem)

= $\sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{50}$

= 7.07106781

= 7.1 inch (approx)

Find the integer a such that<br> a.a ≡ 43 (mod 23) and −22 ≤ a ≤ 0.

Margaret [11]

Given that a is an integer from -22 to 0 such that a is equivalent to 43 (mod 23).

Such a can be obtained as follows:

a = 43 (mod 23) - 23 = 20 - 23 = -3.

Therefore, a = -3.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Myra: 24.8s (winner)

Byron: 26.3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra knocked down 1, so therefore there are 2 points added onto her time and it is now 24.8s.

Byron knocked down 3, so there are 6 points added on for 2 seconds per each hurdle. His time is now 26.3

The graph shows a line and two similar triangles. On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 0) and (8, 2). A small triangle

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When the line goes through the origin (0, 0), we can say that y is proportional to x. Then the ratio of y (the vertical measure) to x (the horizontal measure) is the same as the ratio of "rise" (the vertical change) to "run" (the horizontal change).

y/x = rise/run = 1/4

The equation of the line is ...

y/x = 1/4
