Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

In this collection, we learn that the ratio of bugs you found to bugs your classmate found is 5:4. A ratio is a mathematical expression that indicates the number of times that one value contains another one. Moreover, we also learn that you found 4 more bugs than your classmate. If we are to maintain the same ratio, we need to multiply both numbers by the same factor. The only option that fulfills these characteristics is 20:16. This means that there are 36 bugs in the collection.

Find x in this right triangle.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

<em>x = 12</em>

Solve for x:

<em>Using Pythagorean Theorem </em>

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 9

c = 15

b = x

9^2 + x^2 = 15^2

81 + x^2 = 225

x^2 = 144 | sqrt

x = 12
