Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

9^2+b^2=12^2

81+b^2=144               <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2.

b=3\sqrt{7} is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>

Xelga [282]

Hello there!

35/100 watch more then 10 hours a week

3000 is 30 times greater than 100 so we can simply multiply 35/100 by 30.

35/100 x 30 = 1050/3000

Therefore, if the company had 3,000 subscribers, 1,050 subscribers would be watching more than 10 hours a week.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
There are 70 employees who work at Stalling Printing.

Take note that the 63 employees who attended the meeting represents 90% of the total number of employees working at Stalling Printing. To get the total number of employees or the 100% number of employees, divide 63 by its percentage, 90%.

63/90% or 63 / 0.90 = 70 total number of employees.

The school sold $6000 worth of tickets. Adult tickets were seven dollar and children’s tickets were three dollars. Three times a
padilas [110]

Answer:

1,500 tickets in total (375 adult tickets and 1,125 children tickets)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.

Three times as many children tickets were sold as adults, so 3x is the number of children tickets sold.

Children tickets were three dollars, so 3x children tickets cost \$3\cdot 3x=\$9x.

Adult tickets were seven dollar, so x adult tickets cost \$7\cdot x=\$7x.

The school sold $6000 worth of tickets.

Hence,

9x+7x=6,000\\ \\16x=6,000\\ \\x=\dfrac{6,000}{16}=375\\ \\3x=1,125\\ \\x+3x=375+1,125=1,500
