You use the equation a²+b²=c²

c = the hypotenuse

a and b represents the legs

Here are two examples

Example 1

Side a = 6

Side b = 8

6²+8²=c²

Square the legs

36+64=x²

Sdd

100= x²

Now we use the square root to find x

√100=√x

Solve the square root

10 = x

Example 2

side a = 3

hypotenuse = 7

3²+x²=7²

Square the known numbers

9+x²=49

Subtract 9 from 49

x²=40

Find the square root

√x=√40

x= 6.32 or 2√10

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

-28.5

-5

-11.8

-4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From that data provided for Monday

Temperature at noon = temperature at midnight + the change in temperature

-32 + 20 = -12

Temperature on Tuesday's noon = -17.5 + (-11) = -28.5

Temperature on Friday's noon = -21.8 + 17.3 = -4.5

From that data provided for Monday

Temperature at midnight = temperature at noon - change in temperature

-12 - 20 = -32

Temperature on Wednesday's midnight = 10.5 - 15.5 = -5

From that data provided for Monday,

change in temperature = temperature at noon - temperature at midnight

-32 - (-12) = 20

Change in temperature on Thursday = -24 - (-12.2) = -11.8
