Answer:

9.2 (1DP)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you do 10^2 which is 10 X 10 = 100
Then you do 4^2 which is 4 X 4 = 16
Then you do 100 - 16. The way Ive learnt it is that if the hypotenuse isn't the one you have to find then minus of it it is then plus. So 100 - 16 = 84
A^2 + B^2 = C^2 84 is C^2 meaning now you have to square root it
Square root of 84 is 9.2 to 1 DP

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{2\sqrt{21}\approx9.17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\\\\text{We have:}\\\\leg=4,\ hypotenuse=10\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\4^2+leg^2=10^2\\\\16+leg^2=100\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\\\16-16+leg^2=100-16\\\\leg^2=84\to leg=\sqrt{84}\\\\leg=\sqrt{(4)(21)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\leg=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{21}\\\\leg=2\sqrt{21}$

2/5 and 1/3 have a common denominator of 15. 6/15, 5/15, and 4/15 add up to 15/15. So the chances of rock are 4/15. 120 divided by 15 is 8. Six times eight equals fourty eight, five times eight equals forty, and four times eight equals thirty two. So there are 48 classical songs, 40 jazz songs, and 32 rock songs.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant y = -2x + 5.

x y = -2x + 5

0 5

1 -2(1) + 5 = 3

2 -2(2) + 5 = 1

Note that every time you increase x by 1, y decreases by 2.
