Answer:

5 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where "a" and "b" are the two legs of the right triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse.

We are trying to find the part that is at an angle, which is "c". So if we know "a" is "3 and "b" is 4, we can plug the values into the equation.

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 plug in the values

9 + 16 = c^2 simply the two squared values

25 = c^2 add the two values

5 = c take the square root of both sides

c = 5 switch the values

Is 3/4 bigger than 3/5

Svet_ta [14]

Yes, 3/4 is bigger than 3/5.
One way you can verify this is by drawing a bar model, and cut it into four. Color in three pieces.
Then, draw another bar model the same size as the first one, and cut it into five pieces.
Color in three pieces.
You can see that 3/4 has more shaded in area than 3/5.
Another way you can do this is by dividing the numerator by the denominator for both fractions.
Hope this helped.

Hezekiel runs 1000 m at a rateof 3 minutes per km. how long does he take to run 500 m

lana66690 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 km = 1000 m

(hence the term "kilo" which means 1000).

so. he runs 1000 m at the rate of 3 minutes per km, that means 3 minutes per 1000 m.

now, we can see the solution already with our eyes.

but let's do it formally :

the rate or ratio between time and distance must be the same for the same speed.
