Answer:

24 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

We know one of the legs is 10, and the hypotenuse is 26, so we can substitute 10 in for a, and 26 in for c.

10^2+b^2=26^2

Solve the exponents

100+b^2=676

Now, solve for b. To do this, get b by itself.

First, subtract 100 from both sides

100-100+b^2=676-100

b^2=576

Take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{576}

b=24

So, the other leg is 24 mm

How do I transform the equations 5x+4y=8 and -2x+5y=30 so that they are in the form that y=MX+b?
mestny [16]
4y=5x+8 5y=-2x+30 the y always goes first. then the equal sign. next is x and finally just the digit which is also known as "b".

Answer:

<h2>6 is the answer</h2><h2 />

A fraction consists of two parts the top number and the bottom one.

Think of the top number as the count and the bottom as the size indicator. So you have:

countsize indicator −−−−−−−−−−→proper names numeratordenominator

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider the action example of dividing 3 into 6.

We can do this division directly because their size indicators are the same. That is, we have: 61÷31. People do not normally write it this way but it is correct.

To directly divide the counts the size indicator must be the same

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So we need to see how many of 18 will fit into 34

We can not do this directly in one operation as the size indicators are not the same.

Lets make the size indicators (denominators) the same

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value but

1 comes in many forms.

[34×1]÷18 → [34×22]÷18

[3×24×2]÷18 → 68÷18

Now that the size indicators (denominators) are the same we can just divide the counts (numerators)

countsize indicator→[68÷18]=6÷1=6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could explain more showing the connection between this and the shortcut method but what I have shown you will do for now.
