Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find a

c = hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle

a² + b² = c²

a² + 24² = 26²

a² = 100

a = 10

<em>Or solving another way,</em>

3-4-5

5-12-13

6-8-10

7-24-25

These are special right triangles.

5 - 12 - 13 => 5x2 - 12x2 - 13x2 => 10 - 24 -26

so, a = 10

Hope this helps ^-^

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> to find the unknown side.

a^2+b^2=c^2

<h3>We are given that:</h3>
  • b=24
  • c=26

We need to solve for a.

a^2+24^2=26^2\\\\ \text {Solve Exponents:}\\\rightarrow 24^2 = 576\\\rightarrow 26^2 = 676\\\\a^2+576=676\\\rightarrow a^2+576-576=676-576 \text{ (Subtraction Property of Equality)}\\a^2=100\\\sqrt{a^2} =\sqrt{100} \text { (Take the square root on both sides.) }\\\\\boxed {a=100}

<em>Option C should be the correct answer.</em>

2/5 is equivalent to 4/10 so at the end of February 4/10 was used up
And at the end of January, 3/10 was used
so 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10

At the end of February, 7/10 of the wood was used

Arianna gathered data about the distance of 20 cities from the equator and the average hours of sunlight per day in December for
stich3 [128]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>A. strong negative correlation.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

<u>Direction of a relationship</u>

  1. Positive- If one variable increases, the other tends to also increase. If one decreases, the other tends to also. It is represented by positive numbers(i.e 0 to 1).
  2. Negative- If one variable increases, the other tends to decrease, and vice-versa.  It is represented by negative numbers(i.e 0 to -1)

<u>Strength of a relationship</u>

  1. Perfect Relationship- When two variables are linearly related, the correlation coefficient is either 1 or -1. They are said to be perfectly linearly related, either positively or negatively.
  2. No relationship- When two variables have no relationship at all, their correlation is 0.

As in this case, correlation coefficient was found to be -0.91, which is negative and close to -1, so it is a strong negative correlation.

Which of the following is the solution set of the given equation?<br><br> (x - 3) - 2(x + 6) = -5
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: x=−10

Step-by-step explanation:

x−3−2(x+6)=−5

x+−3+(−2)(x)+(−2)(6)=−5(Distribute)

x+−3+−2x+−12=−5

(x+−2x)+(−3+−12)=−5(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−15=−5

−x−15=−5

−x−15+15=−5+15

−x=10
