Answer:
36.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Measurements for the sides of the canal is given as: 40 ft. and 16 ft.
You solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem
The distance across the canal is calculated as:
√(40² - 16²)
= √(1344)
= 36.66060556 ft
Approximately = 36.7 ft
Therefore, the distance x across the canal = 36.7 ft
Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
1. add 31 on both sides (you wanna get the "x" by itself)
ex: 2x - 31 = 7
+31 +31
2. the 31s cancel each other out so now you add 31 + 7
2x = 7
+31
___________
38
3. divide 2 on both sides so the 2s cancel each other out and only the x is left
ex: 2x / 2 = x 38 ( the 38 stands alone)
4. now divide 38/2 and you have your answer
X= 19
10 inches your hypotenuse is always going to be equal or bigger than the sum of the two sides
The table isn’t shown so I cant tell
Answer: 5.9 cm for both triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.
Replacing with the values given:
c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 9+25
c^2 = 34
c = √34
c = 5.9 cm
Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.
