The heck, what math are you in?
Answer:
The answer to your question is b = 8.06 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
hypotenuse = c = 9 cm
long leg = b = ?
short leg = a = 4 cm
Process
This is a right triangle so we must use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the long leg (b)
c² = a² + b²
-Solve for b²
b² = c² - a²
-Substitution
b² = 9² - 4²
-Simplification
b² = 81 - 16
b² = 65
-Result
b = 8.06 cm
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Add similar elements: -5x+3x=-2x
-2x+15=-3
Subtract 15 from both sides
-2x + 15-15=-3-15
Simplify
-2x=-18
Divide both sides by -2
-21/-2 = -18/-2
Simplify
x=9
