Answer:

12 cm is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation: a² + b² = c² , in which c is the hypotenuse, and a & b are the other sides.

Note that the hypotenuse is 15, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables

a² + (9)² = (15)²

Simplify. First, solve for the solvable squares

a² + 81 = 225

Isolate the variable a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 81 from both sides:

a² + 81 (-81) = 225 (-81)

a² = 225 - 81

a² = 144

Isolate the variable a. Root both sides.

√(a²) = √(144)

a = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12

a = 12

12 cm is your answer

Answer:

Cylinder Volume = PI * radius^2 * height

Radius = Square Root [Volume / (PI * height)]

Radius = Square Root [ 134 / (3.14 * 7.1)]

Radius = 2.45103

Radius = 2.45

What is the answer if you solve 2/3x - 4 = -2
n200080 [17]

2/3 x -4 = -2       add 4 to both sides

2/3 x -4 +4 = -2 +4

2/3 x = 2  

mutliply both sides by 3/2

(3/2) * (2/3) x = (3/2) * 2

x =3
