If the legs are length a and b and hyptonuse is c then
a²+b²=c²

so
if the legs are 20 and 21 and the hypotnuse is x then
20²+21²=x²
400+441=x²
841=x²
29=x

Answer:  the correct option is (B) 29.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of the hypotenuse x, if (20, 21, x) is a Pythagorean triple.

We know that

in a right-angled triangle, the lengths of the sides (hypotenuse, perpendicular, base) is a Pythagorean triple, where

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+base^2.

So,  for the given Pythagorean triple, we have

x^2=20^2+21^2\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=400+441\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=841\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{841}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{taking square root on both sides}]\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm29.

Since the length of the hypotenuse cannot be negative, so x = 29.

Thus, the length of the hypotenuse, x = 29.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ray's daily pay,P in dollars is given by the function, p(h) = 10h with h representing the number of hours that he worked on that day. If he worked c hours on Thursday and this is 3 hours more than he worked on Friday, then the following statement is true. We substitute c and c-3 for Thursday and Friday into the given function, p(h) = 10h

A) 10c -3 represents Ray's pay in dollars on Friday.

B) 10c represents Ray's pay in dollars on Thursday.

C) p(c ) - p(c-3) represents how much more Ray's pay was on Thursday than on Friday

Someone please help me with this geometry question
marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 12 + (-8x + 48) = 180

-15x + 60 = 180

-15x = 120

x = -8

m<BDC= -7(-8)+ 12 = 56 + 12 = 68

m<CBA = -8(-8)+48 = 64+48 = 112
