Answer:
C. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Keeping in mind that this is a right triangle, to find the length of side a, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is:
a² + b² = c²
where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
As we can see in the image, a is one of the two legs of the right triangle. 13 is the hypotenuse and 12 is another leg. Plugging into the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:
a² + 12² = 13²
Now we solve for a.
a² + 144 = 169
Subtract 144 from both sides.
a² = 169 - 144
a² = 25
Take the square root of both sides.
a = √25
a = 5
So the length of side a would be 5.
The answer would be C. 5.
I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
You would do 5 times 659 and the answer to that is 3,295
Is answer 21?
i assumed number as x
then i followed the process
X = 8/sin45° = 8/0.7071 ≈ 11.3
y = 8 * cos45° = 11.3 * 0.7071 ≈ 8
C.
Answer: Transitive Postulate of Inequality (last option)
Explanation:
Let's say we have a vacation where we go from City A, to City B, then to City C. We can use the notation
. If all we cared about was the first and last cities, then we basically say
taking a shortcut so to speak.
This analogy is useful to describe the transitive property.
The equality version is where if we had a = b and b = c, then a = c.
The inequality version is where if we had a < b and b < c, then a < c. In this case, c = 2.
In a sense, its like linking together metal chains. A leads to B which leads to C. So we can just jump from A to C.
It might help to draw out a number line and pick values for a and b like a = 0 and b = 1. That way you can see how a < b, b < c and a < c all tie together.
