Let the unknown side be "z" inches
Through pythagoras:
{12}^{2}  +  {z}^{2}  =  {20}^{2}
Because the square of the two sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

This means that
{z }^{2}  = {20}^{2}  -  {12}^{2}
{z}^{2}  = 400 - 144 = 256
z =  \sqrt{256}  = 16
So the missing side is 16 inches

Hope this helped

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Write the equation

                                   f(x) = 2x + 1

find f(2)

                                  f(2) = 2(2) + 1

3.- Simplify

                                 f(2) = 4 + 1

                                 f(2) = 5

almond37 [142]

Answer:

12 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of games played

The y won 75% of the games played and that was 9

x * 75% = 9

Change to decimal form

x * .75 = 9

Divide each side by .75

x * .75 /.75 = 9/.75

x =12

They played 12 games

jeka94

It takes 2minutes to make one bag.

If Ashley works alone:

900 bags * 2 minutes= 1800 minutes

There is 6 people doing it so:

30 hours/6 people=5 hours

The final answer is 5 hours.
