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.

-3 greater then or equal to &gt; -1
enot [183]
-3 is actually less than -1    

it can't be equal because they are 2 different values 

and it can't be greater than because if you place -3 and -1 in a number Line, -1 is closer to 0 which equals that -1 is greater than -3

the total cost c a painter charges to paint a house depends on the number h of hours its takes to paint the house. this situatio
Ilya [14]

given that

c = 15h + 245

when h = 30.35  , cost c = (15 × 30.35) + 245

= 453.75 + 245 = 698.75

so cost if painter works = 698.75 unit of currency.
