Phytoplankton serves as food for virtually all the organisms living in an aquatic environment. It is a primary food producer and serves as the foundation of aquatic food web. If there is a decline in the amount of phytoplankton, the organisms which feed directly on the plant may reduce significantly as a result of dire competition for food, this in turn will affect the organisms which feed on the dying out organisms and the trend will move in a similar way until it affect all the organisms living in that particular aquatic habitat.

A student named Janine says that the measure of side b is 64 ft. Please state whether this is correct or incorrect. If this is i
kolezko [41]

The measure of side b as 64 ft is incorrect. The accurate measure would be 8 ft.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle is the sum of squares of the opposite and the adjacent sides. Mathematically:

hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

In this case, the hypotenuse = 10 ft, the opposite = 6 ft and the adjacent = b

Hence,

b^2 = 10^2 - 6^2

       = 100 - 36

          = 64

b = √64

     = 8 ft

Thus, the side b is 8 ft and not 64 ft.
