To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

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

Where <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse and the legs are<em> a</em> and <em>b.</em>

2. Now, you must substitute the values given in the problem above and solve for <em>b</em>:

(2b)^{2}=b^{2}+12^{2}\\4b^{2}=b^{2}+144\\4b^{2}-b^{2}=144\\3b^{2}=144\\b=\sqrt{\frac{144}{3}}\\b=6.92

Therefore, the answer is: The value of <em>b</em> is 6.92

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

AD is Congruent to BC and it's given, (given just means that it was already said or stated, and you don't need to do the work to find it) Angle DAC would be congruent to angle BAC (if that doesn't work, rearrange them to look like angle CAB). AC would be congruent to DB. Triangle ADC would be congruent to triangle BCD by (since i don't know exactly which way the letters are arranged is would either be SAS or SSA) and that's because you know two of the sides are congruent to each other and one angle.

I tried hard to sketch out what the shape looked like based on the information given, and that's because I need a visual of what the shape looks like. Sorry, this took so long to answer.

Find BC if B(8,-7) and C1-4,-2).
Alika [10]

Using distance formula :

  • \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1) {}^{2}  + (y_2 - y_1) {}^{2} }

  • \sqrt{(8 - ( - 4)) {}^{2}  + ( - 7 - ( - 2)) {}^{2} }

  • \sqrt{(12) {}^{2} + ( - 5) {}^{2}  }

  • \sqrt{144 + 25}

  • \sqrt{169}

The volume of the cube below is 1/8cm^2 . What is the value of x?
Kipish [7]

We are given

edge of cube =x

we know that formula for volume of cube

V=x^3

we are given

V=\frac{1}{8} cm^3

we can plug value

x^3=\frac{1}{8} cm^3

now, we can solve for x

\sqrt[3]{x^3} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8} cm^3 }

x=\frac{1}{2} cm............Answer
