Answer:

The answer is a. 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by using Pythagoras theorem to relate the sides of a right angled triangle.

Here,

Hypotenuse of the given triangle(c)=75

Two sides of right angled triangle are:

a=72

b=?

Then,

for a given right angled triangle abc,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

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

Squaring on both sides,

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

or,75^{2}=72^{2}+b^{2}

or, b^{2}=75^{2}-72^{2}

or,b^{2}=5625- 5184

or,b^{2} =441

∴b=21

So, the value of b is obtained to 21 by the use of Pythagoras theorem.

Answer:

  • 3*2=\sf{\pink{\dfrac{4}{5}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u>,</u><u> </u>

x*y=\dfrac{(2x-y)}{(x+y}

<h3><u>SO</u><u>,</u><u> </u></h3>

3*2=

\dfrac{2(3)-2}{3+2}\\\\\dfrac{6-2}{5}\\\\\dfrac{4}{5}

<u>Therefore</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\therefore  {3*2}=\dfrac{4}{5}
