How do you find the missing length in Pythagorean

1 answer:

3 0

If this pertains to the Pythagorean theorem, then the answer that you would most likely to end up with is by utilizing the equation a² + b² = c² where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse refer to the longest side of the triangle while the other two would be the legs of the triangle.

When solving for the missing length, just substitute the values given to their respective places in the equation. If a length of a leg is missing, then substitute the other leg's value to either a or b, then substitute the length of the hypotenuse to c. Then solve. Solving for the hypotenuse's length would be a lot easier than the legs.

Answer: option 2 is the better option

Step-by-step explanation: well in this case as you are trying to find the individual prices of the candy bars, you would divide the total price by the amount of candy bars. So in this case for the first problem, you would take the total price: $6.75 and divide it by 10. The answer to this would be .675 but you would round it up to .68 so that you have a two digit decimal. Therefore the answer is .68 cents for each candy bar.

you would repeat this process for the second problem. Total price: $7.25 divided by 12 (candy bars). The answer in this problem would then be .60 cents per candy bar. Once we see how much each would be, it is just a matter of seeing which price is higher. In this case, the second option is the better option.

Sorry this was long, that's how i explain things, but i hope this helps

Simplify using the laws of exponents (4^3)^-2 × (2^3)^4 ×(8/15)^-2

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$\dfrac{225}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(4^3)^{-2} \times (2^3)^4 \times (\dfrac{8}{15})^{-2} =$

$= (2^2)^{-6} \times 2^{12} \times (\dfrac{15}{8})^{2}$

$= 2^{-12} \times 2^{12} \times \dfrac{225}{64}$

$= \dfrac{225}{64}$

Meghan has $1.10 I'm dimes nickels and pennies. She has three times as many nickels as pennies, and the number of dimes is two l

Dmitriy789 [7]

N=3p and d=p-2 we are also told that:

p+n+d=110 using n and d from above we get:

p+3p+p-2=110

5p-2=110

5p=112

p=112/5

Which is not an integer...are we sure there is no typo in the question...

There are 3 times as many nickels as pennies

There are pennies-2 dimes

And the total is $1.10

Just checking, because something is off...
