Answer:

D. CA = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that given a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse (longest side) c:

a² + b² = c²

Here, the legs are 3 and 4, so a = 3 and b = 4. Plug these in to find c:

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

c = √25 = 5

The answer is thus D.

Answer:

  CA = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sides are 3 and 4, we recognize this as a 3:4:5 right triangle, with CA = 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem confirms this:

  CA² = AB² +BC²

  CA² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

  CA = √25

  CA = 5

The strength of a cable is proportional to the square of its diameter. If a 2-cm cable will support 800kg, how much will a 3-cm
xz_007 [3.2K]
Strength [is proportional to] d^2
strength1/(d1)^2 = strength2/(d2)^2
800kg/(2cm)^2 = strength2/(3cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * (3 cm)^2/(2 cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 3^2/2^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 9/4
strength2 = 1800 kg

If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

b+6

Problem:

If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given (b+c)/2=8 and d=3b-4.

We are asked to find (c+d)/2 in terms of variable, b.

We need to first solve (b+c)/2=8 for c.

Multiply both sides by 2: b+c=16.

Subtract b on both sides: c=16-b

Now let's plug in c=16-b and d=3b-4 into (c+d)/2:

([16-b]+[3b-4])/2

Combine like terms:

(12+2b)/2

Divide top and bottom by 2:

(6+1b)/1

Multiplicative identity property applied:

(6+b)/1

Anything divided by 1 is that anything:

(6+b)

6+b

b+6

A bag contains 6 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, 7 green marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. A marble is drawn from the bag and is not r
Alinara [238K]
20 total marbles....7 are green

probability on first draw is 7/20...and since the marble was not replaced, the probability on the second draw is 6/19. And since they cant happen at the same time, we multiply

7/20 * 6/19 = 42/380 which reduces to 21/190
