The above is an estimation question. Estimation is when you judge the results obtained from a sample and make a rough calculation. The answer obtained might not be exactly right, its based on a judgement.

In this a sample was taken and out of 80 books, 6 of them were history books.
The assumption made then is that for every 80 books taken randomly , 6 of them will be history. Using this assumption ;
21 360 books in the library,
for every 80 books - 6 history books
then for 21 360 books - 6 / 80 * 21360
                                   =  1602 history books

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the missing side length of a triangle when two other side lengths are known.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The value of b is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

29=√20^2+b^2

or, 29=√400+b^2

or, 841=400+b^2

or, 841-400=b^2

or, √441=b

b=21

2x+7=27 and 3x+1=28 does 2x+7= 3x+1
Savatey [412]
Hey there!

2x + 7 = 27
2x = 20
x = 10

3x + 1 = 28
3x = 27
x = 9

The values for both of these equations are 9 and 10; therefore, the answers are not equivalent.

I hope this helps!
