It would be C, because when you find the length using th pythagreon theorem... you can begin to see the relationship through all of the figures and side lengths... Make sense?

Answer: Her solution is incorrect. The hypotenuse is 53 units

Step-by-step explanation: The error occurred when she quoted the Pythagorean theorem. She added up both sides and squared them and made the answer equal to the square of the hypotenuse. She was supposed to have squared them first, before adding up.

The Pythagorean (or Pythagoras) theorem states that the sum of the squares of two sides of a right angled triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse of the triangle. That is, in triangle ABC, if the hypotenuse is given as line AC, the Pythagoras theorem states that

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Where AC is the hypotenuse and AB and BC are the other two sides.

In Nadia’s solution, if the hypotenuse is given as 73, and the other two sides are 28 and 45, then the Pythagorean theorem properly expressed would be as follows;

73^2 = 28^2 + 45^2

5329 = 784 + 2025

5329 ≠ 2809

As we have determined, writing out the expression as

73^2 = (28 + 45)^2 is very incorrect as this is not the Pythagorean theorem and of course, the triangle cannot have 73 as its hypotenuse as we have determined by properly writing out the Pythagorean theorem.

The correct solution is as follows;

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

AC^2 = 28^2 + 45^2

AC^2 = 784 + 2025

AC^2 = 2809

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

AC = 53

Therefore, the hypotenuse is 53 units

the volume of a cylinder is 1,356.48^ feet. If the diameter is 12 feet, calculate the height of the cylinder.
Olin [163]

Answer:

11.99 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cyl. of radius r and height h is V = πr²h.

Solving this immediately for h yields:

         V

h = ----------

         πr²

Inserting the known quantities results in:

         V           1356.48 ft³

h = ---------- = ----------------------      Note that r = (1/2)d, so r = (1/2)(12 ft) = 6 ft

         πr²         3.14159 (6 ft)²

   =   11.994 ft

The height of the cyl. is 11.99 ft (to the nearest hundredth foot)
