Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle) Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° tria

ngle, the hypotenuse is StartRoot 2 EndRoottimes the length of each leg. Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle X Y Z is 90 degrees and the other 2 angles are 45 degrees. The length of X Y is a, the length of Y Z is a, and the length of X Z is c. Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, which in this isosceles triangle becomes a2 + a2 = c2. By combining like terms, 2a2 = c2. Which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg? Substitute values for a and c into the original Pythagorean theorem equation. Divide both sides of the equation by two, then determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation. Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

Answer:

(C)Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle)

To Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is \sqrt{2} times the length of each leg.

Proof:

\angle XYZ$ is 90^\circ$ and the other 2 angles are 45^\circ. \\\overline{XY} = a, \overline{YZ}= a, \overline{XZ}= c.\\

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since a=b in an isosceles triangle:

a^2 + a^2 = c^2\\$Combining like terms\\2a^2 = c^2\\$Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.\\\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{2a^2}  \\\\c=a\sqrt{2} \\

Therefore, the next step is to Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

A researcher is testing how bacterial cells react to different environments. She placed a petri dish that initially had 32,000 b
Nataly [62]

<u>Solution- </u>

A researcher placed a petri dish with 32,000 bacterial cells. One hour after being placed in the vacuum chamber, the number of cells in the petri dish had halved. Another hour later, the number of cells had again halved.

This can be represented as exponential decreasing function,

y=a(1 - r)^x

Where,

  • a = starting amount  = 32000
  • r = rate  = 50% = 0.5 as the sample becomes halved in each hour
  • x = hours

Putting the values,

\Rightarrow y=32000(1 - 0.5)^x

\Rightarrow y=32000(0.5)^x

y-intercept means, where x=0, so

\Rightarrow y=32000(0.5)^0\\\\\Rightarrow y=32000\times 1=32000

The coordinate of this poin will be (0, 32000)

This means when x=0 or at the starting of the research, the number of bacteria cells was 32000.

After 3 hours, number of bacteria cells will be,

\Rightarrow y=32000(0.5)^3

\Rightarrow y=32000\times 0.125

\Rightarrow y=4000

The  coordinate of this point will be (3, 4000)

LMN is a straight angle. Find m LMP and m NMP​
viva [34]

Answer:

(-16x + 13)° + (-20x + 23)° = 180° ( St. angle)

-16x° + 13° - 20x° + 23° = 180°

-4x° + 36° = 180°

-4x° = 180°-36°

-4x° = 144°

-x° = 144°/4

-x° = -36°

x° = 36°

Given: mKP=2mIP, mIVK =120°<br> Find: m∠KJL.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

<h2>The measure of angle KJL is 40°.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

m(KP)=2m(IP)

m(IVK)=120\°

Notice that

m(KP)+m(IP)+m(IVK)=360\°, by definition sum of arcs.

Replacing given values, we have

2m(IP)+m(IP)+120\°=360\°\\3m(IP)=360\° - 120\°\\m(IP)=\frac{240\°}{3}\\ m(IP)=80\°

Which means m(KP)=2(80\°)=160\°

Notice that arc KP is the subtended arc by angle KJL.

We know that the angle formed by a tangen and a secant is equal to one-half of the difference of the intercepted arcs.

m\angle KJL = \frac{1}{2} (m(KP)-m(IP))\\m \angle KJL = \frac{1}{2}(160\° - 80\° )=\frac{1}{2}(80\°)=40\°

Therefore, the measure of angle KJL is 40°.
