The smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 17 inches.

<h3>What is the Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides in a right-angle triangle.

From the information given, the sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches.

Therefore, the third side will be:

c² = 9² + 14²

c² = 81 + 196

c² = 277

c = ✓277

c = 16.64

c = 17

Hence, the smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 17 inches.

Which expression is equivalent to sqrt2/^3sqrt2

zimovet [89]

The given expression is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}}$

This can be simplified using the radical properties as below

$\\\ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}}=\frac{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2^\frac{1}{3}} \\\\ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}}=\frac{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2^\frac{1}{3}} \\\\$

Now using exponent properties we can write

$\\\ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}}=\frac{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2^\frac{1}{3}}=2^{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}} \\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}}=2^{\frac{3-2}{6}}=2^\frac{1}{6}\\\\= \sqrt[6]{2}\\$

Find the ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 is

$\frac{5}{13}\\or\\5:13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio:

In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

It is also the Fraction

For example, if a bowl of fruit contains eight apples and six kiwis, then the ratio of apples to kiwis is eight to six.

i.e 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3.

Now here,

$2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4+1}{2}\\\\2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\and\\\\6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{12+1}{2}\\\\6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{13}{2}$

Ratio of 2 1/2 to 6 1/2

$\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{13}{2}} = \frac{5}{13}\ \textrm{The number 2 will be cancelled from Numerator and Denominator} \\\\Hence,\\Final\ Ratio\ is\ 5 :13$

$\frac{5}{13}$

(1.7x10^13)+(0.8x10^13)

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

(1.7x10^13)+(0.8x10^13)

=(1.7x1e+13)+(0.8x1e+13)

=1.7e+13+0.8e+13

=2.5e+13

in actual number it would be 25,000,000,000,000
