One of the legs of a right triangle measures 9 cm and its hypotenuse measures 16 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

13.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the other leg, since this is a right triangle. The equation is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, A and B being the legs and C being the hypotenuse. Since we are finding the other leg, we can switch the equation around to find A/B instead. (A/B being the legs). so we get: B^2 = C^2 - A^2 ; then we simplify

We plug in the numbers given:

rounded to nearest tenth: 13.2

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).

step-by-step explanation:

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
