In this question, you need to use Pythagoras' Theorem, c^2 - b^2 = a^2. In this case, C is 14 and B is 6, so you would do 14^2 - 6^2 = 196 - 36 = 160, and the approximate square root of 160 is 12.6 inches, which is your answer.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

12.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We only need to apply Pythagoras theorem to solve this problem.

Pythagoras theorem state that in a right-angle triangle,

opposite² + adjacent²  = hypotenuse²

From the question hypotenuse = 14 inches

one of the leg, lets say adjacent = 6 inches

Let x be the length of the other leg.

We can now proceed to insert our values into the formula;

opposite² + adjacent²  = hypotenuse²

         x²    +      6²           = 14²

         x²   +   36   = 196

Subtract 36 from both-side of the equation

x²   +  36  - 36   = 196 -  36

x²   =  160

Take the square root of both-side to get the value of x

√x²   =  √160

x = 12.649

x≈12.6

Therefore the approximate length of the other leg is 12.6 inches

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option 4: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

6-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2}x+5

We have to find a number that is common multiple of all the denominators or least common divisor

So to find the LCM

The numbers in denominator are: 4,3,2

So,

4=> 4,8,12,16\\3 => 3,6,9,12,15\\2=> 2,4,6,8,10,12

It can clearly be seen that 12 is the LCM of all three numbers so the equation will be multiplied with 12 to eliminate the fractions.

12*6-12*\frac{3}{4}x+12*\frac{1}{3} =12* \frac{1}{2}x+12*5\\72-9x+4 = 6x+60

Hence,

The correct answer is Option 4: 12
