Answer:

22.36

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question we need to utilise Pythagoras theorem. Pythagoras theorem states that a² + b² = c² so the sum of the leg's squared will equal the hypotenuse squared. In this question we are given the hypotenuse so we will have to rearrange the equation to find the value of the leg,

→ a² + b² = c²

⇒ Substitute in the values

→ 20² + b² = 30²

⇒ Simplify

→ 400 + b² = 900

⇒ Minus 400 from both sides to isolate b²

→ b² = 500

⇒ Square root both sides to find the value of the leg

→ b = 22.360679775 cm

The length of the missing leg is 22.36 cm to nearest hundredth considering one leg is 20 cm and the hypotenuse is 30 cm.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras’ theorem

square of hypotenuse = sum of squares of two other sides

let the missing side be d

30^2 = 20^2 + d^2

600 = 400 + d^2

d^2 = 200

d = square root of 200

d = 14.142 cm

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1249. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pole length , Pl = 2 fts

Pole shadow, Ps = 20 in = (0.0833 * 20) = 1.666 ft

Tower length, Tl = 125 ft

Tower shadow, Ts = x

Pl / Ps = Tl/ Ts

2/ 1.666 = 125 / x

Cross multiply

2x = 125 * 1.666

2x = 208.25

x = 104.125 ft

x = 104.125 * 12 = 1249. 5 inches

How do you find the least common for 3 and 8?
sesenic [268]

The least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24.

The least common multiple of two numbers is the lowest value number that is a multiple of both the numbers. To find the least common multiple of 3 and 8, you first list their multiples:

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24...

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56...

When you compare the two lists of multiples, you can see that the number 24 is the lowest number that is a multiple of both 3 and 8, so it is their LCM, or least common multiple.
