C is your hypotenuse and a/b are the legs

A = 5
B = 12

OR
 A = 12
B = 5

Either work. I'll stick with the first one.

c^2 = 12^2 + 5^2

c^2 = 144 + 25

c^2 = 169

c = sqrt 169

c = 13

Ans: 13 inches (dont forget your units!)

During a field trip, 60 students are put into equal-sized groups. Describe two ways to interpret 60 ÷ 5 in this problem *
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

    x=12 groups

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

    x'=5groups

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

60 children in equal sized groups

Generally interpreting 60\div 5 can be mathematically represented as

a)

    x=\frac{60}{5}

    x=12 groups

This will give 5 Students each in 12 different equally sized groups

b)

    x'=\frac{60}{12}

    x'=5groups

This also shows that students can grouped in equal groups of 12 in 5 places

Your tea her will grade your response 4-8 to ensure you receive proper credit
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

k = 73

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is  180  degrees.

62 °  +  k +  45 °  =  180

Solve the equation for k

Add  62 °  and  45 °

k +  107  =  180

Move all terms not containing  C  to the right side of the equation.

Subtract  107  from both sides of the equation.

k  =  180  −  107

Subtract

k  =  73

Quadrilateral ABCD ​ is inscribed in a circle.
alexdok [17]
When a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles are supplementary.

x + 2 + 3x + 6 = 180
4x + 8 = 180
4x = 172
x = 43

Now solve for A
3(43) + 6 = A
129 + 6 = A
135 = A

The measure of angle A is 135 degrees.

Hope this helps =)
