Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for right triangles:

a^2=b^2+c^2

a= the hypotenuse

b and c equals the other two sides.

In this case we are given the hypotenuse so we can rearrange the equation to look like this b^2=a^2-c^2 (I subtracted c^2 from both sides). I know a and c so I can solve for b.

We get rid of a square by implementing a square root on both sides and get:

b=sqrt(a^2-c^2) .... b=sqrt( (sqrt(34))^2 - 3^2)

b= sqrt(25) ..... b=5

Each book costs $15. since he had 18 dollars left, you can subtract 18 from 108. then divide that answer by 6. 90/6 = 15.

A zookeeper weighed an African elephant to be 9x10^3 pounds and an African lion to be 4x10^2 pounds. How many times greater is t
maria [59]
Answer:  22.5 .  The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than                              the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________

(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant)  ;  Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
   → Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
  to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
    
   → (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
                                                           (weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
     →  x  = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
     →  Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
     →  x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) =  (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4  =  (9*10¹) / 4  ;
__________________________________________________________  
     →  x =  90 /4 = 25/2  = 22.5 ; which is our answer.
