PLEASE HELP whats the hypotenuse of a right triangle if both its legs are 9 cm round to the nearest tenth of a cm
vivado [14]
Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c² 

a² and b² are the legs, and c² is the hypotenuse.

Plug in 9 to a² and b² since you know that both the right triangle's legs are 9 cm.

9² + 9² = c²
81 + 81 = c²
162 = c²

Square root both sides.

c = 12.7 cm

"More than 60% of the students scored below the mean on the last test." Can this statement be true? Why or why not?
Lelu [443]
The mean is the average of a set of numbers.

So if the remaining 40% of students score 100 points, and the 60% score like 50 points, then the mean would still be 70 points because of the 40% of students that scored super high.

So yes, it can be true.
