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!

Determine the reveune for selling 500 helmets
Tasya [4]

Answer:

x is the price the helmets were sold at.

y is the business expenses.

r is the revenue.

500x - y = r

Step-by-step explanation:

500x - y = r

We multiply x, the price that the helmets were sold at. Then we subtract y, which is the business expenses. After this, we get r, our revenue.

HELP ME PLZ AND IF YOU HELP ME 10 POINTS
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

3(c+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

It would usually be 3 x 4, but since there is a variable, it can`t be multiplied (unless you know what the value of the variable is). Thus the expression is 3(c+4).

Determine the value of n that makes the polynomial a perfect square trinomial. Then factor as the square of a binomial. Express
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-11y+n\\=(y-(11/2))^2+n-(11/2)^2

So in order the trinomial a perfect square we need

n-(11/2)^2 =0\\n= (11/2)^2\\n=\frac{121}{4}

When n is equal to this number that we have

y^2-11y+n = (y- (11/2))^2
