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

Answer:

Rounded Answer: 0

Not Rounded Answer: -0.00198019802

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounded Answer:

20/101 = 0.19801980198

Round that to 0.2

20/99 = 0.2

0.2-0.2 = 0

Not Rounded Answer:

20/101 = 0.19801980198

20/99 = 0.2

Answer: -0.00198019802

Answer:

Not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship which crosses through the origin (0,0) and which has a proportional constant. We can determine this either by finding (0,0) where x=0 and y=0 in the table or by dividing y/x. None of the tables contain (0,0) so we will divide y by x. We are looking for a table which when each y is divided by its x we have the same constant appearing.

\frac{2}{1} \neq \frac{3}{2} \neq \frac{4}{3}

Though it has a point at the origin, these fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.
