Step-by-step explanation:
it is a right-angled triangle, so the side lengths need to fulfill the Pythagoras rule :
c² = a² + b²
where c is the Hypotenuse, the baseline opposite of the 90 degree angle. and a and b (often called legs) are the sides "enclosing" the 90 degree angle.
so, we have
20² = a² + 12²
400 = a² + 144
a² = 256
a = 16
FYI - we could have picked the right answer also by eliminating the wrong given answer options.
as this is a right-angled triangle :
a cannot be longer than the baseline (20).
that eliminates already the first 2 options.
and then look at the picture : a cannot be shorter than b (the other side line (12)).
that eliminates the third option.
18y to the 20th power minus 90y to the fifth power
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators. LCM of 4 and 15 is 60. 4x15= 60 34=3x154x15=4560 3/4 is bigger
