Answer: 9 inches.
Do the pythagorean theorem to find your answer.
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c2
12 = b
15 = c
a^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
Simplify the equation
a^2 + 144 = 225
Subtract 144 on both sides.
a^2 = 81
Square root of 81 is 9.
Hi there,
the first part equals 4/45 and the second part equals 7/9
4/45 divided by 7/9 = 0.00141093474
Hope this helps :)<span>

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,
MrB
