This is very simple to do. Take out your calculator and insert 14.4. However, move the decimal two places to the left to get .144, and multiply it by 72.5 to get your answer of 10.44.
Answer:
hypotenuse = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
If you can tell at first glance it is a 3,4,5 triangle (6,8,10)/2=(3,4,5). Then you know that c has to equal 5.
If not,
a^2+b^2=c^2
6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
10=c
Problem:
The area of the patio of a relative's house is 20 square meters.
The width of the patio is 2 meters.
What is the length of the patio?
Solution:
The area is:
A = (w) * (l)
Where,
w: width
l: long
Clearing l we have:
l = A / w
Substituting values:
l = 20/2
l = 10 meters
Example of distributive property: 4(2+3)
The first step is to multiply the 4 and the 2
It will now look like 8+4(3)
Now you must multiply the 4 and the 3
Then it will look like 8+12
In which 8+12=20
