Each piece is x inches long. If she cut 5 inches from x, then it's now x-5 inches long.

This is equal to 3 inches (given) so equate the two expressions and isolate x

x-5 = 3
x-5+5 = 3+5
x = 8

Each piece is 8 inches long. There are 3 pieces. Therefore the original ribbon was 24 inches long (8*3 = 24).

In a right triangle the lengths of the legs are a and b. Find the length of a hypotenuse, if: a=3, b=4;
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The hypotenuse is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle

a^2 +b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2 +4^2 =c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(25) =sqrt(c^2)

5 = c

Rewrite In simplest radical form x^5/6/x^1/6
Nady [450]
I assume you mean:

[x^(5/6)]/[x^(1/6)]

The rule for dividing similar bases with different exponents is:

(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)

In this case we have:

x^(5/6-1/6)

x^(4/6)

x^(2/3)
