Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.
Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because

. This works, but it is slow.
The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
A is 4, which is rational,
B is just 1/3, which is rational,
C is -8, which is rational,
leaving D, which is 3.1415926535...
You can divide 21 by 30 and that would give you 0.7 and if you divide 2 by 3 that would give you 0.6 repeating. Therefore, that is how I know that 21/30 is greater than 2/3.
Answer:
The tip was 7.77 dollars, which represent 18.5% of the value of the bill
Step-by-step explanation:
Dollars paid as tip
$49.77 - $42 = $7.77
