Answer:

Hypotenuse is the longest side in a triangle.

a^2=b^2+c^2.

5^2=4^2+c^2.

c^2=25-16.

c^2=9.

c=√9.

c=3cm.

Answer: 3cm

Explanation:

We can use Pythagorean’s theorem to find that other side:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
a^2 = 25 - 16
a^2 = 9
a = 3

Therefore, the other side is 3cm

Kyle soles 18 of 24 puzzles in a puzzle book. he says that he can use an equivalent fraction to find the percent of puzzles in t

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He solved 75% of the puzzles!

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's look at our fraction 18 out of 24. We can see that they are both even numbers, so at worst, we can divide the entire fraction by two. However, they have a GCF of six, so we will use that.

18 3

---- divided by 6 = ----

24 4

Now that we have the fraction 3/4, we can turn that into a percentage!

3/4 is 0.75. To get the percentage, we multiply that by 100--now we have 75%.

A cat spends about 7 out of 10 hours sleeping about what percent of a cat's day is spent sleeping

hram777 [196]

I understand that it means that out of every 10 hours, a cat spends 7 sleeping (not 7 hours in a day).

this means that a cat is sleeping $\frac{7}{10}*100%=70%$

a percentage stays constant, this means that a cat sleeps 70 % of each 10 hours, but also 70% of the day.

During the first hour of operation the farm stand owner sold 15% of the apples he had. On the second hour he sold 20% of the rem

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

200 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First hour he sold 15% (remaining is 85%)

Second hour he sold 20% of remaining (which is 85%) -- so he sold $(0.2)(0.85)=0.17$ , which is 17% (remaining 85-17=68%)

Third hour he sold 25% of remaining (which is 68%) -- so he sold $(0.25)(0.68)=17$ , which is 17%

In third hour he sold 34, so 17% is 34. To find total he initially had, we need to find (100%). We can setup the ratio (letting x equal his initial amount):

$\frac{0.17}{34}=\frac{1}{x}\\0.17x=34\\x=\frac{34}{0.17}=200$

Initially the farm stand owner had 200 kg of apples.
