Answer:

The answer to your question is leg 2 = 0.9 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Leg 1 = 4 in

hypotenuse = 4.1 in

Leg 2 = ?

Process

To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem, solve for leg 2 and simplify to get the result.

Pythagorean theorem

c² = a² + b²

or hypotenuse² = leg 1² + leg 2²

-Solve for leg 2²

leg 2² = hypotenuse² - leg 1²

-Substitution

leg 2² = 4.1² - 4²

-Simplification

leg 2² = 16.81 - 16

leg 2² = 0.81

leg 2 = 0.9 in

Answer:

y=x+w/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5y-w

step 1: bring the additional letters/numbers next to the "5y" over to the left

x+w= 5y

step 2: divide the numbers and letters on both sides of the "=" by 5 to only get the letter y

x+w/5= y

step 3: swap them over

y= x+w/5

(we can't get an answer from x+w/5 because the terms are unlike, therefore we keep it as a fraction
