Answer:28.28 cm

Explanation:

a² + b² = c²

20² + 20² = c²

c² = 400 + 400

c² = 800

c = √800

c = 28.28 cm

You can either use the Pythagorean theorem or the formula d = a√2.

Pythagorean theorem:

The diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle in the square and the two sides are the legs.

20² + 20² = d²
400 + 400 = d²
800 = d²
√800 = d
28.28 = d

Using the formula:

d = a√2
d = 20√2
d = 28.28

The answer with both the methods is the same.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

≈ 3.6 x 10^1

Step-by-step explanation:

= (6.05 x 3.05) x 10^(5+4) / (4.27 x 1.2) x 10^(4+4)

= 18.4525 x 10^9 / 5.124 x 10^8

= (18.4525 / 5.124) x 10^(9-8)

≈ 3.6 x 10^1

The repeating decimal, is converted to the fraction

zzz [600]

Hello!

By using a certain formula, a repeating number with two repeating digits will always become the number out of 99. In our case, we would get $\frac{27}{99}$ .

To get the numerator to equal three, we divide both sides by 9.

$\frac{27}{99} =\frac{3}{11}$

Therefore, x=11.

I hope this helps!
