diagonal = sqrt(a^2 +b^2)
20 = sqrt(12^2 +b^2)
20= sqrt(144+b^2)
20^2 = 144 + b^2
400 = 144 + b^2
256 = b^2
b = sqrt(256) = 16
it is 16 inches wide
1. x+5y=8
2x- 5y=1 What you do is find the number/variable that are the same( here is is the +5y and -5y. You want them to be opposites(-,+) so that they cancel each other out. if they are not opposites, then multiply one equation by a negative sign to change it. Cross out the 5y's. Now you can combine like terms-x+2x=3x, and 8+1=9, so now your equation will look like this:
3x=9
x=9/3
x=3
now take x=3 and plug it into the first equation to solve for y. x+5y=8, so 3+5y=8
5y=8-3
5y=5
y=5/5
y=1
(3,1) are your answers.
now do the same with the other problems.
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
10 inches = 2.54 x 10 = 25.4 centimeters
Therefore, t<span>o find the number of centimeters in 10 inches, multiply the number of inches given (10) by 2.54</span>
