Hi there! 

In order to solve, we'll need to use a proportion: 20/a = 21/20. Then, we'll cross-multiply and solve to find a: 21a = 400 | a = 19.05. Next, to find b, we can just use pythagorean theorem: 20^2 + (400/21)^2 = b^2 | b = 27.62.
We are using geometric mean to solve for a, then using pythagorean theorem to solve for b. If you need more help with geometric mean, or would like a complete explanation, please let me know! I'd be happy to provide you with that information.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

The radius of a circle with an area of 60 square centimeters is represented by the expression √60/π centimeters. What is another
monitta

Answer:

r= 2 √(15/π)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Area of circle =60sq cm

radius=√60/π

Area=\pi r^2\\60=\pi r^2\\\\\sqrt{\frac{60}{\pi}}=r\\\\\sqrt{\frac{15\times 4}{\pi}}=r\\2\sqrt{\frac{15}{\pi}}=r

Hence the radius can be written as 2 √(15/π)

Ive been having this question for a while "what do you use first PEMDAS or Order of Operations". Well you might say it doesn't m
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Order of Operations was aught at a younger age for those just grasping the idea of multiplication and division. Exposing PEMDAS at a young age would confuse them too much, hence the order of operation groups, addition/subtraction and multiplication/division. So for the second example problem, PEMDAS would be correct because it does involve you to use parentheses as well as exponents to solve for. Very easy to mix up between order of operations and PEMDAS, but just look at it as if Order of operations is a beginner level of PEMDAS.
