So Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2

So, 12^2+16^2= 400
c=400, but you need to find c^2. so do the square root of 400, which is 20. so x=20

The answer should be 20 because you sue the formula a^2 + b^2= C^2
so you input 12^2+ 16^2=x^2
144 + 256 =x^2
400=x^2
20

Amoeba dapat membelah diri menjadi 2 setiap 20 menit . Jika mula mula terdapat 15 amoeba maka setelah dua jam banyaknya amoeba a

leva [86]

Amoeba splits 3 times an hour. If Amoeba can split into two every 20 mins then if you divide 60 mins (which would be an hour) by 20 mins (the time they split) you would find that Amoeba can split 3 times in an hour. The question asks how many times it can split in two hours. To find this you have to multiply the 3 times 2. This means that a single Amoeba can split 6 times in two hours. There are 15 Amoeba which means if you take 15 Amoeba time 6 in two hours and 90 would be your answer. There will be 90 Amoeba after the two hours.

Workers have been down the street installing two blinking red lights in front of the fire station. The two lights are always tur

daser333 [38]

Answer:

After 88 seconds, they will blink together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time after which the first light blinks = 8 seconds

Time after which the second light blinks = 22 seconds

Initially, both the lights blink together.

To find:

The time at which they will blink together again.

Solution:

Let us have a look at the time after which each light will blink.

First light will blink after:

8 s, 16 s, 24 s, 32 s, 40 s, 48 s, 56 s, 64 s, 72 s, 80 s, 88 s, 96 s, 104 s, ......

Second light will blink after:

22 s, 44 s, 66 s, 88 s, 110 s, .....

It can be seen that common time is 88 second, at which the both will blink together.

So, the answer is 88 s.

This answer can also be computed by taking the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both the numbers i.e. 8 and 22.

Using the factorization method:

$8=\underline{2}\times 2\times 2$

$22=\underline{2}\times 11$

Common is 2.

Therefore the LCM will be:

$2\times 2\times2\times 11 = \bold{88}$

So, the answer is 88 s.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A. 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the numbers up, you get 25. There is 5 yellow marbles, so that's a 5/25 chance of picking a yellow one, now you just have to simplify, you then get 1/5, because 5 ÷ 5 is 1, and 25 ÷ 5 is 5.
