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.

What is the value of p
Serjik [45]

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 4/p - 4

multiplying through by p,

p×p + 4/p ×p - 4×p

p² + 4 - 4p = 0

p² - 4p + 4 = 0

factorizing,

p(p - 2) -2(p - 2) =0

(p -2)(p -2) =0

p-2 =0

p=2

How would you solve (-1,4),y=3x+5
astraxan [27]

Answer:

y = 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 times 4 equals -4 so you have -4,y = 3x + 5 so you do 5 + 3 so it is 8x then you have -4,y = 8x so you add 4 to each side and it becomes y = 12x

Two old RSM students were standing 10 feet apart when they spotted Mrs. Rifkin. If
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/time

Therefore time must = distance/speed

Since the two students are running apart from eachother, we can add their speeds together.

Also we can subtract 10 feet from our goal of 1870 since they're already 10 feet apart.

1860 feet/(150+1650) feet per minute

We can cancel out the feet since it's a common term.

And we're left with 6 minutes.
