Answer:

$c=5\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$AC^{2}=AB^{2}+BC^{2}$

substitute the given values

$13^{2}=c^{2}+12^{2}$

Solve for c

$169=c^{2}+144$

$c^{2}=169-144$

$c^{2}=25$

$c=5\ units$

Tomtit [17]

The answer is that Jade's chickens laid more eggs. Since Jade's farm includes 9 chickens, which each laid 3 eggs, multiply 9 and 3 and you get 27. Edna's farm has chickens which, in total, laid 23 eggs, leading to Jade's chickens with 27 eggs to be more than the eggs laid by Edna's chickens. :)

Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 6º more than five times the measure of the other angle. Find the

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Complementary means that the two angles sum to 90 degrees.

So based on the problem, let:

1st angle=5x+6

2nd angle=x

Now create an equation.

x+5x+6=90

6x=84

x=14

5x+6=76

answer: 14 degrees and 76 degrees

Since all of the bases (x) are equal you just add the exponents.

(The x has an exponent of 1)

3 + -4 + 1

-1 + 1

0

Since the answer is 0 it is x^0

And any number or variable set to the power of 0 equals 1, therefore...
