Answer:

9, 40 and 41

Step-by-step explanation:

All right triangle have lengths that follow the Pythagorean Theorem (a²+b² = c²). Right triangles have one angle equal to 90°. The two shorter sides form the right angle and the side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

Using the lengths given, we can use guess and check to see what sum of two sides squared would equal a third side, or just plug them into the equation: a²+b² = c² and see what lengths fit this equation.

I recommend starting with squares you are familiar with:

9² + 40²= 81 + 1600 = 1681

Now, take the √1681 to find the length of 'c', or the hypotenuse:

√1681 = 41

Since these three lengths fit the Pythagorean Theoreom, the would form a right triangle.

How do you write 70% as a fraction in simplest form ?

alexdok [17]

70% equals to 70/100 in fraction form.
But, you need to write it in simplest form. so, divide both of them from 10 'cause they both can divide completely by it.
70/100 = 7/10
so, your answer is 7/10

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?

Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , In $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of a banana bread, there is $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

$\frac{3}{4}$ pound of banana bread ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}$
