Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 4\sqrt{41}\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

where

c is the hypotenuse

a,b are the legs of the right triangle

substitute the values

c^{2}=16^{2}+20^{2}

c^{2}=256+400

c^{2}=656

c=\sqrt{656}\ in

Simplify

c=4\sqrt{41}\ in

Use pythagorean’s theorem
as you can see it’s a right isosceles triangle

so your equation is adapted to this:
p^2 + p^2=44^2
add like terms and simplify
2p^2=1936
divide by 2
p^2=968
square root
p= √968
simplify
p=22√2

the answer would be your second option

kotykmax [81]

Answer: 129

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is the average of the data. including x, there are 6 data points

average = total/6

average = (98 + 123 + 105 +114 +109 + x) / 6

113 = (98 + 123 + 105 +114 +109 + x) / 6

113 = (549+ x) / 6

678 = 549 + x

x = 129
