Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:

20^2=12^2+x^2

400=144+x^2

x^2=400-144

x^2=256

x=16

Find the length of the hypotenuse. 45 degree triangle 3 square root of <br><br> 2

stira [4]

Answer:

Hypotenuse = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached diagram used in solving the question.

The triangle is a 45°-45°-90° triangle meaning it's two legs are equal. The opposite = adjacent

Since we are told to find hypotenuse, it means the length given = opposite = adjacent = 3√2

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Hypotenuse ² = (3√2)² + (3√2)²

Hypotenuse ² = 9(2)+9(2) = 18+18

Hypotenuse ² = 36

Hypotenuse = √36

Hypotenuse = 6

Answer:

1728

Step-by-step explanation:

2 $\pi$ r h

2 $\pi$ (11) × 14

968

B= $\pi r^{2}$

B= $\pi$ 11^2 =121 $\pi$

S=2 $\pi$ rh + 2 $\pi r^{2}$

S=968 +2 x 121

S=968 +242 $\pi$ = 1728
