You can use the pythagorean theorem. Make sure that you put the measurements in the right places though. Since 11 is the measure of the hypotenuse, 11 has to be c. When you plug in the information that you have, it should look like this:
8^2 + b^2 = 11^2

Square 8 and 11.
64 + b^2 = 121

Subtract 64 from 121
121 - 64 = 57

The new equation is:
b^2 = 57

Now take the square root of both sides to get b by itself.
b = about 7.5

Answer: The height of the triangle is 7.5

A peregrine falcon can fly 322 km/h h. How many meters can the falcon fly.

Vitek1552 [10]

That depends on how many fish or mice he ate yesterday, how well
he slept last night, and where he really wants to be.

From the information given in the question, the only things we can
really say for sure is that if he maintains his top speed, he will fly
322,000 meters for every hour that he keeps it up, and that he will
be one scrawny, exhausted bird when it's all over.

The number of possible choices of my team and the opponents team is

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}n-1\\E\\n=1\end{array}\right i^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

selecting the first team from n people we have $\left(\begin{array}{ccc}n\\1\\\end{array}\right) = n$ possibility and choosing second team from the rest of n-1 people we have $\left(\begin{array}{ccc}n-1\\1\\\end{array}\right) = n-1$
