Okay so lets look at the equation given
a ^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}
this is the Pythagorean theorem, this equation holds true to all right angle triangles.

for the "a" and "b" terms must be the two shortest lengths and "c" must be the longest length.
why? because "c" represents the hypotenuse in this theorem and the hypotenuse is by definition the longest side of a right triangle.

(side note: always draw a picture, it helps a lot if you doodle a bit to get an idea of what you are working with)

we are given three lengths : 3 , 4, and 5 (im ignoring the measurements for now)

we can look at it two ways with a picture and through algebra

try to draw a right triangle with the given info. you'll see there are only two cases were this is possible the picture above is one case where this is not possible

now we can look at this algebraically
a = 3 \\ b = 4 \\ c = 5
(but "a" and "b" can swap lengths)

now with the Pythagorean theorem we can see how this plays out
{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ {3 }^{2} + {4}^{2} = {5 }^{2} \\ 9 + 16 = 25 \\ 25 = 25
and heres with "a" and "b" lengths swapped
{4}^{2} + {3}^{2} = {5}^{2} \\ 16 + 9 = 25 \\ 25 = 25
now here's a case when we let 5 , our longest length , become a leg and let one our shorter lengths take the place of "c"

a = 5 \\ b = 3 \\ c = 4 \\ {5}^{2} + {3}^{2} = {4}^{2} \\ 25 + 9 = 16 \\ 34 = 16 \:
obviously 34 does not equal 16

hope this helped you out

Select Parameter or Statistic to classify each statement.
REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter describes a population, and a statistic describes a sample.

The first one is a statistic.  A sample was surveyed.

The second one is a parameter.  It describes the entire soccer team.

The third one is a statistic.  A sample was surveyed.

The fourth one is a parameter.  It describes the entire golf team.

How to write 21/6 as a mixed number
NNADVOKAT [17]
Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.

Juan has twice as much money as Blanca, Blanca has 1/5 as much as Ronaldo. Together, they have $500. How much money does Juan ha
PolarNik [594]
Ronaldo has five times blancas amount
Juan has twice the amount
Plus blancas one times her amount that is 8 time blances amount. If Blanca has 1/8 of 500 then Juan has 1/4 and 1/4 of 500 is 125

Convert the angle in degrees to radians. Express your answer as a multiple of π.
Elena L [17]
Converting 25 degrees to radians:

180° = π radians.

1° =  π/180  radians.

25° =  (π/180  radians) * 25

       =    (25/180) * π  radians.

Leaving the answer in terms of π,  25/180 = 5/36

=    (25/180) * π  radians = (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians.


Therefore 25° = (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians

I hope this explains it.

I think why you did not get it was because you did not leave your answer in terms of π or as a multiple of π, so as a multiple of π our answer is:

= (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians
