Answer: 9.17cm

Since it is a right angle triangle, we can use <span>Pythagoras T<span>heorem to find the missing leg.

</span></span>-------------------------------------------------<span>
Formula 
-------------------------------------------------
a</span>² + b² = c², c being the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse, denoted by c, is 10cm. One leg, denoted by a, is 4cm.  Apply the formula and solve for the other leg, denoted by b.

-------------------------------------------------
Solve the missing side
-------------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
4² + b² = 10²
16 + b² = 100             ←subtract 16 from both sides
-16           -16
b² = 84                       ←square root both sides
b = √84
b = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)

So the other leg, denoted by b, is 9.17cm

-------------------------------------------------
Answer: 9.17 cm

5 ^6 − 5 ^11 = 5 x ( 1 − 5 y ) what is the value of x and y
Eva8 [605]
Is it 5^6 - 5^11 = 5x × (1-5y)?
5^6 - 5^11 = 5^(6-11) = 5^(-5) = 1/(5^5)
So 1/3125 = 5x - 5(5y)
1/3125 = 5(x-5y)
1/3125/5 = x-5y
0.000064 = x - 5y
