Answer:

a = 5.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where b= 1.5 and c= 6

a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2

a^2 +2.25 = 36

Subtract 2.25 from each side

a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25

a^2 = 33.75

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)

a = 5.809475019

We only take the positive root because length must be positive

I need help on this it is a fraction subtract another fraction which is negative thx to whoever helps 5/7-(-1/7)
Sav [38]

Answer:

\frac{5}{7}-(-\frac{1}{7})=\frac{6}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate :

\frac{5}{7}-(-\frac{1}{7})

Solution:

Two negatives multiply to become a positive.

Thus, we can remove parenthesis by reversing the signs of the fraction by multiplying the negative outside.

⇒ \frac{5}{7}+\frac{1}{7}

Since the denominators are same for both fractions, so we simply add the numerators.

⇒ \frac{5+1}{7}

⇒ \frac{6}{7}  (Answer)
