Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²
You can fill in the numbers you know: a²+4²=5²
(Hypotenuse must be side c)
Square those numbers and you have: a²+16=25
Subtract 16 from both sides: a²=9
Square root both sides and you get: a=3

Work:
6/15 = x/1
To get from 15 to 1, you have to divide by 15. So, to make an equal field, divide 6 by 15.
6 : 15 is the same as 2 : 5 or 0.4.
30/80 = x/1
To get from 80 to 1, you have to divide by 80. So, to make an equal field, divide 30 by 80.
30 : 80 is the same as 3 : 8 or .875.
Comparing the two, 30 : 80 is greater than 6 : 15.
Hope this helps. Have a good day.
Answer:
hi
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4
To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.
I'll use 12
The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12
10/12-3/12 = 7/12
So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.
Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda
