ANSWER
The length of the third leg is
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
The figure given is a right-angled triangle.
To find the third length of the triangle, we need to apply Pythagora's theorem
It states that
[tex]\begin{gathered} (Hypotenuse)^2=(opposite)^2+(adjacent)^2 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]The third length of the triangle is the hypotenuse because it is the longest
[tex]\begin{gathered} (Hypotenuse)^2=4^2+2^2 \\ (Hypotenuse)^2\text{ = 16 + 4} \\ (Hypotenuse)^2\text{ = 20} \\ \text{ Take the squareroots of both sides} \\ \text{ }\sqrt[]{(Hypotenuse)^2\text{ }}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{20} \\ \text{Hypotenuse = }4.472 \\ \text{Hypotenuse }\approx\text{ 4.5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the length of the third leg is 4.5
which equation has a solution of x = 4
Answer
Option B is correct.
Only the equation, 3x + 9 = 21, has a solution of x = 4.
Explanation
We are told to pick the equation(s) with x = 4 as a solution from the equations,
5x - 8 = 44
3x + 9 = 21
4x = 24
x - 10 = -8
The step to solving this is to insert x = 4 and check if that is consistent with the given equation.
Option A
5x - 8 = 44
If x = 4
5(4) - 8 = 44
20 - 8 = 44
12 ≠ 44
Hence, this is not an answer
Option B
3x + 9 = 21
If x = 4
3(4) + 9 = 21
12 + 9 = 21
21 = 21
Hence, this is an answer for this question.
Option C
4x = 24
If x = 4
4(4) = 24
16 ≠ 24
Hence, this is not an answer to this question.
Option D
x - 10 = - 8
If x = 4
4 - 10 = -8
-6 ≠ -8
This is also not an answer to this question.
Hope this Helps!!!

Using the compound interest formula, determine the total amount paid back and the monthly payment. Buying a $6000 used sedan taken out with $500 paid up front and the rest borrowed at 8.3%annual interest compounded daily (365 days per year) over 2 years.
The final value of an investment or loan with compound interest is given by:
[tex]FV=P(1+\frac{r}{m})^{m\cdot t}[/tex]Where P is the initial value (principal or loan), r is the annual interest rate, t is the duration of the investment/loan, and m is the number of compounding periods per year.
The following values are given in the problem:
P = $6000 - $500 = $5500
r = 8.3% = 0.083
t = 2 years
m = 365
Applying the formula:
[tex]FV=5500(1+\frac{0.083}{365})^{365\cdot2}[/tex]Calculating:
[tex]FV=5500(1+0.0002273926)^{730}[/tex]FV = $6493.03
The total amount paid back is $6493.03
This is equivalent to an approximate monthly payment of:

CJ loves Girl Scout cookies. He eats 3 cookies per hour. After 5 hours, there are 24 cookies left in the box. Write an equation in slope intercept form. Determine how many hours it will take CJ to eat the entire box of cookies.
To solve this problem: y will represent the number of cookies, and x the number of hours.
To find the number of cookies that CJ eats per hour, we multiply 3 (since he eats 3 per hour) by x (the number of hours)
Since there we only 24 cookies left in the box, we will need to substract 3 by the number of hours that have passed, from 24 to find the number of cookies "y":
[tex]y=24-3(x-5)[/tex]This equation represents that the number of cookies "y" is equal to the 24 cookies that where left after 5 hours, and to that we substract 3 (which is the number of cookies per hour) by total number of hours that have passed since those 5 hours (x-5) because 5 hours that have already passed we substract them from x.
We need to simplify that equation to represent in slope-intercept form:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=24-3x+15 \\ y=-3x+39 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we need to determine the number of hours it would take to finish the cookies. So we are looking for the value of x, that makes y=0:
[tex]0=-3x+39[/tex]solving for the number of hours x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -3x=-39 \\ x=-\frac{39}{(-3)} \\ x=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]It would take 13 hours for CJ to eat the entire box of cookies.

The center of a circle and a point on the circle are given. Writecenter: (3,2), point on the circle: (4,3)
Given:
The center of the circle is the point ( 3, 2 )
And the point on the circle is ( 4, 3 )
To write the equation of the circle, we need to find the radius
The radius = the distance between the center and the point on the circle
so, the radius is the distance between ( 3, 2) and ( 4, 3)
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ r=\sqrt[]{(4-3)^2+(3-2)^2^{}}=\sqrt[]{1+1}=\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The general equation of the circle is:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]Where (h, k) is the coordinates of the center of the circle, r is the radius
So,

Weekly wages at a certain factory arenormally distributed with a mean of$400 and a standard deviation of $50.Find the probability that a workerselected at random makes between$500 and $550.
The Solution:
Step 1:
We shall state the formula for calculating Z-score.
[tex]\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \\ \text{Where X}=5\text{00 ( for lower limit) and X=550 for upper limit.} \\ \mu=400 \\ \sigma=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2:
We shall substitute the above values in the formula.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{500-400}{50}\leq P(Z)\leq\frac{550-400}{50} \\ \\ \frac{100}{50}\leq P(Z)\leq\frac{150}{50} \\ \\ 2\leq P(Z)\leq3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3:
We shall read the respective probabilities from the Z score distribution tables.

Triangles ABE, ADE, and CBE are shown on the coordinate grid, and all the vertices have coordinates that are integers. Which statement is true?
To check if Triangles ABE, ADE, and CBE are congruent, let us compute for the distance of each line using the Distance Formula,
[tex]\text{ }d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2\text{ + (}y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]Where,
d = Distance
(x1, y1) = Coordinates of the first point
(x2, y2) = Coordinates of the second point
Let's compute the distance of the following lines:
Triangle ABE: Lines AB, AE, and BE
Triangle ADE: Lines AD, AE, and ED
Triangle CBE: Lines CE, CB, and BE
For Triangle ABE,
[tex]\text{ d}_{AB}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(-1-(-4))^2+(3-(-1))^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(-1+4)^2+(3+1)^2}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{AB}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(3)^2+(4)^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{9+\text{ 16}}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{25}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{AB}\text{ = 5}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{AE}\text{ =}\sqrt[]{(1-\text{ }(-1))^2+(0\text{ - }(-4))^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(1+1)^2+(0+4)^2}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{AE}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(2)^2+(4)^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{4\text{ + 16}}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{AE}\text{ =}\sqrt[]{20}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{BE}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(1\text{ - (}3))^2+(0\text{ - (-1)})^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(1-3)^2+(0+1)^2}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{BE}=\text{ }\sqrt[]{(-2)^2+(1)^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{4\text{ + 1}}[/tex][tex]\text{ d}_{BE}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{5}[/tex]For Triangle ADE, let's compute for the distance of line AD and ED since we already got the distance of line AE.

Triangle ABE:

[tex]\text{ AD = 5, AE = }\sqrt[]{20}\text{ and ED = }\sqrt[]{5}[/tex]Triangle CBE: CE, CB, and BE
[tex]\text{ CB = 5, CE = }\sqrt[]{20}\text{ and BE = }\sqrt[]{5}[/tex]The sides of the three triangles shown in the grid are congruent based on the SSS Rule of Triangle.
Thus, the statement that meets our evaluation is:
D. Triangle ABE, ADE and CBE are all congruent.
Solve the equation for all real solutions. 9z^2-30z+26=1
Weare given the following quadratic equation, and asked to find all its real solutions:
9 z^2 - 30 z + 26 = 1
we subtract "1" from both sides in order to be able to use the quadratic formula if needed:
9 z^2 - 30 z + 26 - 1 = 0
9 z^2 - 30 z + 25 = 0
we notice that the first term is a perfect square:
9 z^2 = (3 z)^2
and that the last term is also a perfect square:
25 = 5^2
then we suspect that we are in the presence of the perfect square of a binomial of the form:
(3 z - 5)^2 = (3z)^2 - 2 * 15 z + 5^2 = 9 z^2 - 30 z + 25
which corroborates the factorization of the trinomial we had.
Then we have:
(3 z - 5)^2 = 0
and the only way such square gives zero, is if the binomial (3 z - 5) is zero itself, which means:
3 z - 5 = 0 then 3 z = 5 and solving for z: z = 5/ 3
Then the only real solution for this equation is the value:
z = 5/3
The figure below shows the graph of f’ , the derivative of the function f, on the closed interval from x = -2 to x = 6. The graph of the derivative has horizontal tangentlines at x = 2 and x = 4.
Solution
- The points of inflection of f(x) in a graph of f'(x) is gotten by just finding the points where the graph moves from increasing to decreasing, and also from decreasing to increasing.
- Thus, we have
- The points where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing is at point (2, 0) and the point where the graph moves from decreasing to increasing is (4, -2.5)
- Thus, the inflection points of the graph of f are at (2, 0), and (4, -2.5)

The triangle AED and the triangle ABC is similar.
How do you know?
Because all the angles are equal, the triangle AED and ABC have the same angle values, then they're similar.
Find the height of the tree (This distance from B to C)
We can use the relation of the similar triangle to find BC, we can write the equation
[tex]\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{BC}{ED}[/tex]The only unknown value here is BC, then
[tex]\frac{24+8}{8}=\frac{\text{BC}}{5}[/tex]Now we solve it for BC!
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{8}=\frac{BC}{5} \\ \\ 4=\frac{BC}{5} \\ \\ BC=4\cdot5 \\ \\ BC=20\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the height of the tree is 20 ft
