Answer: 5.9 cm for both triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2  

c^2 = 9+25

c^2 = 34

c = √34

c = 5.9 cm

Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Emilia took a math quiz last week. She got 19 problems correct and 76 problems incorrect. What percentage did Emilia get correct
Volgvan

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of problems Emilia solved, we can first add 19 and 76 to get:

19 + 76 = 95

Next, to find how many problems Emilia got correct out of the total, we can use the number of problems correct (19) and divide it by the total number of problems (95) to get:

19 ÷ 95 = 0.2

Finally, to make 0.2 a percentage, we can multiply it by 100 to get:

0.2 X 100 = 20

Therefore, Emilia got 20% of the problems correct.
