Answer:

2)  32.2 in (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Pythagoras’ Theorem</u>

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

Given:

  • a = 16 in
  • b = 28 in
  • c = hypotenuse

Substituting these values into the formula and solving for c:

\implies \sf 16^2+28^2=c^2

\implies \sf 256+784=c^2

\implies \sf c^2=1040

\implies \sf c=\pm\sqrt{1040}

\implies \sf c=\pm 32.2\:in\:(nearest\:tenth)

As distance is positive, c = 32.2 in (nearest tenth)

  • 32.2 inches. (Option 2)

Step-by-step explanation :

Here, A right angled triangle is given with the measure of two sides and we are to find the measure of the third side.

We'll find the measure of third side with the help of the Pythagorean theorem,

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (Hypotenuse {)}^{2}= (Base) {}^{2} + (Perpendicular {)}^{2} }}} \\  \\

Here,

  • The base (BC) is 16 in

  • The perpendicular (AB) is 28 in

  • The hypotenuse is AC.

\:

So, substituting the values in the formula we get :

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (AC {)}^{2}= (16) {}^{2} + (28 {)}^{2} }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (AC {)}^{2}=256 + 784 }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (AC {)}^{2}=1040 }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad AC = \sqrt{1040}  }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad AC = 32.24  }}} \\ \\

Therefore,

  • The length of the hypotenuse (AC) is 32.2 in (Rounded to nearest tenth)

It takes Bobby 12 hours longer to build a robot than it takes Alex. Together, they can build the Robot in 8 hours. How long does
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of hours taken by Bobby to build the robot by himself is shown below:

Given that

Bobby could take 12 hours

Together they could build in 8 hours

So based on the above information

the number of hours taken by Bobby to build the robot by himself is

Let us assume the above line be x

So,

\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{x}  \\\\\frac{6 - 4}{48} = \frac{1}{x}  \\\\\frac{2}{48} = \frac{1}{x}  \\\\x = \frac{48}{2}

x = 24 hours
