Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. the hypotenuse is always the longest, so lets plug in the values.

a^2 + 12^2 = 20^2
if we simplify, we get a^2 + 144 = 400

then subtract 400-144 = 256
then find the sq. root of 256 = 16.

the answer is 16 feet

A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y = -4x+10. A
ad-work [718]

first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept

the algebraic approach would work like this:

-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b

plug in what you got, here: the intersection information

-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b

-16 + 10 = 1 + b

-6 = 1 + b

-7 = b

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 10.1\text{ ft}10.1 ft and the height of the
rjkz [21]

Answer:

28.5 ft^3

58.3 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x length x width x height

Perimeter of a pyramid = 4 x length

10.1 = 4 x length

length = 10.1 / 4 = 2.525

1/3 x (2.525 x 2.525 x 13.4) = 28.5 ft^3

1/3 x (6.1 x 6.1 x 4.7) = 58.3 m^3

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
