Answer:

BC = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of BC you need to use the pythagorean theorem.  

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

There are two part to a triangle that need to be put into this equation.  The hypotenuse(c) and the legs(a, b).  The legs would be the side NEXT to the right angle.  The hypotenuse is ACROSS from the right angle.  In this equation we are looking for the hypotenuse.  It doesn't matter which letter the legs replace just remember that the hypotenuse alway has to be C.

20^{2} +15^{2} =c^{2}

Now you have to square the numbers then add.

400+225=c^{2}

625=c^{2}

Now find the square root of 625 to get rid of the squared in the C.

c = 25

Hope this helped.

URGENT!: Which best explains why these two figures are similar or not similar?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

These two figures are similar because \frac{5}{3} equals \frac{15}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures will be similar if their ratios of the two sides are equal. So we need to check the ratios of the figures to see if they are similar or not.

For the smaller figure the ratio is \frac{5}{3}, and for the bigger figure the ratio is \frac{15}{9}. which upon simplification reduces to  \frac{5}{3}.

So we see that the ratios are equal. Thus the figures are similar.
