The friend is wrong - According to the Pythagorean Theorm, if c is the hypotenuse and a and b are opposite sides then  c^{2} = a^{2}  +  b^{2} 
if c=65 inches, a=16 inches and b = 63 inches, then
 65^{2} =16 ^{2} +  63^{2}
right hand side of the equation = 256 + 3969 = 4225
left hand side of the equation = 65^{2}= 4225
So we see, left hand side = right hand side
Hence the theorm is proved.

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. Which equation models t
masya89 [10]
PH is a parameter that tests the acidity or basicity of a substance or a solution. In this case, the formula to be followed is pH = –log[H+]. To get the H+ concentration from the pH, we manipulate the equation by raising both sides by the base of 10. Thus, 10^ -pH = H+. with pH of 7.2, thus the answer to this problem is C<span>[H+] = 10^-7.2</span>
