Answer 9.75 ft
Reason
Using the Pythagorean theory,
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (the hypotenuse)
Since we know the diagonal measurement (the hypotenuse) we will call c=12
We know one leg is 7, so we will call b=7
Now we will solve for “a”
Changing the equation to subtract
c^2 - b^2 = a^2
Substitute in our numbers
12^2 - 7^2 = a^2
144-49= a^2
95 = a^2
Take square root of both sides

9.746 = “a” the unknown length
Round to nearest hundredth
9.75

10) because of the alternative exterior angle theorem angle 2 is the same as angle 8 and because of the vertical angles congruence theorem angles 2 and 4 are also the same so if angle 2 is the same as both 4 and 8,
then x=5 because 4x+57 =77
subtract 57 from both sides and 4x=20
divide both sides by 4 and x equals 5

kondaur [170]
123 centimeters into dekameters
0.123
10 centimeters = 1 decimeter
100 decimeters = 1 dekameter
Therefore, 100 centimeters = 10 decimeters = 0.1
23 centimeters = 2.3 decimeters = 0.023
0.1 + 0.023 = 0.123 dam
