Answer:
a =12*sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
3. The Pythagorean theorem states
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 +21^2 = 27^2
a^2 +441 =729
Subtract 441 from each side
a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441
a^2 =288
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)
sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)
a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)
a =12*sqrt(2)
Answer:
b=12
Step-by-step explanation:
1.)combine like terms: 12-2x=10x 3-10=-7
10x-7
The answer would be 199/37 or 5 14/37
