Pythagorean theorem, please solve! Thanks

The general form for Pythagoras' theorem is: a² + b² = c² (where c is the longest side).

You already have sides a and b, and to figure out c, you just have to substitute the numbers into the original equation and work it out step by step. Let's substitute a for 17 and b for 24:

a² + b² = c²

(17)² + (24)² = c²

289 + 576 = c²

865 = c²

Square root both sides to work out c:

√865 = √(c²)

c = √865 ≈ 29.41

15/10 to a mixed number
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First, we have to find how many times 10 goes into 15.

We can divide 15 by 10, and we will see that 10 goes into 15 1 whole time, with 5/10 left over.

Now, we can simplify!

In order to simplify, we have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 5 and 10. Let's list out the factors (the numbers that can be divided into 5 and 10)

1*5

1*10
2*5

The largest factor, as we can see, is 5! Let's dicide 5/10 by 5.

5/5=1
10/5=2

So, 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, and, if we bring down the whole number we found before, 15/10 is equal to 1 and 1/2! :)

We can check this answer by multiplying the whole number, 1, by the denominator, (the bottom number of a fraction) 2, and adding the numerator, (the top number of a fraction), 1.

1*2=2
2+1=3

Keep the denominator as 2.

The improper fraction is 3/2, which is equivalent to 15/10 (multiply 3/2 by 5 to see)!

So, our answer is 1 1/2.

I hope I helped! :)

Below is a proof showing that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

Proof: Assume that a + b = x and that x is rational.

Then b = x – a = x + (–a).

Now, x + (–a) is rational because addition of  two rational numbers is rational (Additivity property).

However, it was stated that b is an irrational number. This is a contradiction.

Therefore, the assumption that x is rational in the equation a + b = x must be incorrect, and x should be an irrational number.

Hence,  the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

How do you solve this system of equations using the addition method:

x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4

5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8

5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26

13
x
13
=
−
26
13

x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:

(
−

)
−
y
=

−
8
−
y
=

y
=

y

x

What does cross-sectional area mean in math term?
Bingel [31]
The only math term I can think of is geometry and it means when a solid is cut through parallel to the base.
EDIT: After further research since it was all I could think of. This is the only math term for what you are looking for.

SOMEONE HELP ITS DUE TONIGHT
il63 [147K]

Answer:

n=27 degrees

m=36 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the inside triangle has two equal sides. To find these angles you would do the degrees of a triangle (180) minus the known value and then divided by two.

so it is: 180-126/2 which gives you 27 degrees.

this means the n value is 27.

to find m, you have to take away 90 degrees and the n value from 180.

so it is: 180-90-27 which gives you 63 degrees.

now you must take the smaller angle from 63 degrees to find m.

so it is: 63-27 which gives you 36

therefore...

n=27 degrees

m=36 degrees
