Answer:

In the picture attached, the question is shown.

a) Applying Pythagorean theorem to triangle ABC, and solving for AC:

CB² + BA² = AC²

5² + 12² = AC²

√169 = AC

13 cm = AC

b) Applying Pythagorean theorem to triangle ACD, and solving for AD:

CD² + AC² = AD²

5² + 13² = AD²

√194 = AD

13.9 cm = AD

n200080 [17]

Answer:

$0.536

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable:

p for pen

Equation:

5(3p + 0.97) = 12.89

Solution:

5(3p + 0.97) = 12.89
15p + 4.85 = 12.89
15p = 12.89 - 4.85
15p = 8.04
p = 8.04 / 15
p = 0.536

the side is in the shape of a rectangle with an area of 437 square centimeters the length of the rectangle is 19 centimeters wha

miss Akunina [59]

The area of the rectangle is length times width, that is
A = L*W
The problem requires the width so
W = A/L
Given that A = 437 sq. cm and L = 19 cm, therefore
W = 437/19 = 23 cm

That is the answer.
