Answer:

  B.  (13√2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of one leg of the triangle. We note that the triangle is isosceles, so both legs are the same length. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells you the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the legs:

  13² = L² + L²

  13² = 2L²

  13 = (√2)L

  L = 13/√2 = (13√2)/2 . . . length of one leg

_____

To "rationalize the denominator", we multiply the fraction 13/√2 by (√2)/(√2). The result is (13√2)/2.

Find the ratio of cans of fruit to the total number of food items collected.
Butoxors [25]
First add all the items together:

6 + 4 + 7 + 4 = 21

then we compare 6 and 21 and look for common factors, 6 and 21 have the common factor 3 so we divide them both by 3 to get 2 and 7. since 2 and 7 have no common factors our answer is

2:7

This means for every 2 cans of fruit there are 7 total items and vice versa.
