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!

Find the volume of the cube
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The volume of cube is 125 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the formule of volume of cube is, V = length×width×height. Cube is a 3D form of square, so the sides of the cube are all the same. You have to substitute 5 into the formula,

Let length be 5 cm,

Let width be 5 cm,

Let height be 5 cm,

Volume = 5×5×5

= 125 cm³

1. Kalena was asked to prove ifx(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X represents a polynomial identity. She
Verdich [7]

Answer:

C. Kalena made a mistake in Step 3. The justification should state: -x²

+ x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function x(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X

To justify kelena proof

We will need to show if the two equations are equal.

Starting from the RHS with function x³-x

First we will factor out the common factor which is 'x' to have;

x(x²-1)

Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;

x(x+1)(x-1)

Note that for two real number a and b, the expansion of a²-b² using difference vof two square will give;

a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b) hence;

Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;

x(x+1)(x-1)

Factorising x(x+1) gives x²+x, therefore

x(x+1)(x-1) = (x²+x)(x-1)

(x²+x)(x-1) = x³-x²+x²-x

The function x³-x²+x²-x gotten shows that kelena made a mistake in step 3, the justification should be -x²+x² not -x-x²

Simplify:
Irina-Kira [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's combine the like terms first, which are x^2 & -3x^2, and 3x & -4x.

x^2 -3x^2 is -2x^2. 3x -4x is -x.

The final, simplified expression would be -2x^2 -x.
