Answer:
X = 20.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: 
A = 41.2 in, while B = 35.7 in and we are solving for C.
Now solve for C
Take the square root
5.77
By 0.07
Because if you subtract 0.07 from 5.77, you get 5.7, so it must be smaller.
Answer:
where is the question at ?
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so basically, when you say multiply A by C, that is simplifying.
And in this case, you are factorising in this question. You turn back into brackets basically.
We have:
72x^2 - 32
x^2 = x squared
factorising means finding the factor of.
(Forget the x squared for the moment to make life easier)
Factors of 72:
1 and 72
2 and 36
3 and 24
4 and 18
6 and 12
8 and 9
(9 and 8 = it repeats so we stop there)
And then factors of 32:
1 and 32
2 and 16
4 and 8
(8 and 4 = repeats so we stop there)
Notice how we see 8 twice in both factors of 72 and 32, this means that we use 8 as the main number we are going to multiply each of the 2 numbers in the brackets by. This is because it is the biggest common factor - this is what we have!
This is what we would have:
8(9-4)
BUT, that is not the answer!
Keep in mind we have the x squared too
But, 32 doesn’t have it?!!
It would be:
8(9x^2 - 4)
Do you get it??
Try to simplify it! Does it equal to 72x^2 - 32?
(And I am so very sorry for the long explanation, once you get the hang of it, it makes sense. Hope my explanation helped) :)
