So we are trying to find this red line's length.

We can either find it directly, or use the blue line firs, and then use it as a leg for the green triangle.

So the blue leg is a hypotenuse for two of the edges. So:

blue^2 = leg^2 + leg^2 from the Pythagorean Theorem
OR
blue =  \sqrt{leg^2 + leg^2}

Which works out to:

blue =  \sqrt{10^2 + 10^2} =  \sqrt{100+100} = \sqrt{200} =  \sqrt{(100)(2)}=10 \sqrt{2}

So now that we have that, using the Pythagorean Theorem again gives:

red =  \sqrt{blue^2 + 10^2} =  \sqrt{(10 \sqrt{2})^2+10^2}= \sqrt{200+100}= \sqrt{300}
\sqrt{300}= \sqrt{100*3}=10 \sqrt{3}

So the length of the red line is found that way.

But wait!  There's more!

As it turns out, the red line can be found with an easier way that works with cubes and boxes (cuboids). It's really easy:

a^2 + b^2+c^2=d^2

Where a, b, and c are all 10m, and d is the red line. This greatly reduces the math:

d =  \sqrt{10^2+10^2+10^2} = \sqrt{100+100+100} =  \sqrt{300}

which gives the same answer as above, which you can see.

How many decimals are in a product
enot [183]

Answer: 2 decimal digits

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying decimals, placement of the decimal point is very important. Since there is one decimal digit in each factor, there must be two decimal digits in the product. This is because tenths x tenths = hundredths

Hope this helps and good luck! :)

Compare and contrast the absolute value of a real number to that of a complex number.
sveticcg [70]
The absolute value of a real number is a positive value of the number. Which means that the absolute value is the distance from zero of the number line. However, that of the complex numbers is the distance from the origin to the point in a complex plane.
