A right triangle has a side length of 15 feet and a hypotenuse of 17 feet. What is the length of the missing leg? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

the correct answe is the othe leg is 12 cm long.

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

17^2 = 15^2 + X^2

289 = 225 - X^2

X^2 = 64

X = 8 feet

i'm not entirely sure

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
