Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a special right triangle: 5, 12, 13
Or you can solve using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^)
--> 13^2-12^2=b^2
-->169-144=b^2
-->25=b^2
b=5
1) Use the pathagreom theorem; a^2+b^2=c^2
(The hypotenuse is always c. The other two legs can be either a or b.)
*use x for the unknown side*
1. Plug in the measurements
4^2+x^2=8.5^2
2. Solve
16+x^2=72.25
RADICAL(56.25)=> 7.5
The measure of the other side of the triangle (x) is= 7.5 m
2) Draw a square with the measure of 20 cm on each side.
Draw a diagonal line across the square.
(Use the pathagroeam theorem)
We know that the legs are 20, and 20. The hypotenuse is what we are trying to find (x).
1. Plug in the measurements
20^2+20^2=x^2
2. Solve
800= x^2
20 RADICAL(2)=> 28.28
The measure of the other side of the triangle (x) is= 28.3 cm
From the information we have, Jack drove 401/2 miles and used a total of 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.
We need to find out how many miles he travelled per each gallon.
40 1/2 miles can be written as 40.5 miles
1 1/4 gallons can be written as 1.25 gallons.
So now we form an equation.
40.5 = 1.25
x = 1
Where x is the number of miles per gallon
We cross multiply the equation
40.5 * 1 = 1.25 * x
40.5 = 1.25x
40.5 / 1.25 = x
32.4 = x
x = 32 .4
So the unit rate for miles per gallons is 32.4 miles per gallon
<span>Pemdas tells us to do parenthesis first so 68 + 7 = 75 then 75 + 93 which equals 168</span>
