Answer:
A 21/4
Step-by-step explanation:
When forming a perfect square trinomial you need to "complete the square".
All of the steps to completing the square when solving an equation:
1. The leading coefficient must be 1.
2. Divide b by 2.
3. Square (b/2)
4. Add (b/2)^2 to both sides to keep the polynomial balanced.
5. You can now write the perfect square trinomial and solve.
x^2 - 3x
-3/2
(-3/2)^2 = 9/4 = 2 1/4
Answer:
h = 3.62
Step-by-step explanation:
First, as both triangles have the same angles we can use the relationship of areas and sides corresponding to similar triangles as follows:

Now we know that the new triangle has sides of 4.18. Then, as these triangles are equilateral we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

Finally the height of this new triangle is 3.62 cm
it took me a while but the answer is 5/3
Answer:
18.5 or 18 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
9 plus 9 is 18. 1/8 plus 3/8 is 4/8 or 1/2. so 18 1/2
Option A is correct
assuming we use the Pythagorean theorem whose formula is c²= √a² + b²
C being the longest side, a=15 and b=20
c² = √15²+ 20²
c² = √625
c= 25
if you try this formula with the other options it shows it's not a right triangle
