You only have to apply the theorem of Pythagoras here. Remember the square on the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides :
1. AB is the hypotenuse, so, according to the theorem we can write :
AB² = AC² + CB²
c² = 5² + 4²
c²= 25 + 16
c² = 41
applying the square root of 41 we get :
c ≈ 6.40 rounded to the hundred
The next cases are exactly the same thing so there is no need for explanation :
2.
AB is the hypotenuse here because it is the biggest side clearl :
AB² = AC² + CB²
25² = 15² + b²
Thus
b² = 25² - 15²
we just subtracted 15² on each side of the equation
b² = 625 - 225
b² = 400
applying the square root of 400 we get
b = √400 = 20
So AC = 20
3. The longest side is clearly AB = 60
So
AB² = AC² + CB²
60² = 40² + a²
subtracting 40² on each side of the equation we get :
a² = 60² - 40²
I let you finish this using your calculator and doing exactly like the previous cases
4.
AB is the hypotenuse,
AB² = AC² + CB²
23² = b² + 14²
Subtracting 14² from each side of the equation we get
b² = 23² - 14²
5.
AB is the biggest side :
AB² = AC² + CB²
29² = 23² + a²
We subtract 23² on each sides of the equation :
a² = 29² - 23²
You can finish with your calculator
6.
AB² = AC² + BC²
78² = b² + 30²
subtraction...
b² = 78² - 30²
Good luck :)
We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.
Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.
9a² = 16a
9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides
a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side
a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property
Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.
9a - 16 = 0
9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides
a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9
Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9
Answer:b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$n + $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Jim already has $n, and his mom has given him $20. We know we are not taking $n and subtracting $20, since his mom is adding that on to what he already has, we know we are not dividing, not multiplying but adding.
Conclusion : To find how much money he has now you would use the expression $n + $20
Hope this helps, please mark brainliest if possible. Have a nice day.
