The length of the railroad is 1km and it expands 10cm. To solve this problem, you have to create a right triangle. You can do this by cutting everything in half. Your hypotenuse will be 1/2km + 5cm, one of the legs will be 1/2km. To make everything simple, I converted everything into meters. So you will have 500m + .05m as the hypotenuse and 500m as one of the legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the other leg. Do not round your answer. My teacher emailed me a hint to answering the question. She cahnged everything to meters.

use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the other leg. that is your answer. Your teacher spelled it out for you.

What is the surface area for the figure in the image above one ☝️ #6 pls
klemol [59]

Answer:

answer: 148

Step-by-step explanation:

To find surface area you have to do all sides and multiply base x height so The top and bottom would be 11 x 2 = 22 the sides would be 4 x 2 = 8 the front and back would be 11 × 4 = 44 sense each face has a matching one each of these will be added twice so 22 + 22 + 8 + 8 + 44 + 44 = 148 So 148 is our surface area Hope this explains well!

Solve for b Pythagorean
Vaselesa [24]

The figure shows a right triangle at each corner with legs 3 and b and hypotenuse 4. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse:

3² + b² = 4² . . . . . . put the numbers into the Pythagorean formula

9 + b² = 16 . . . . . . . evaluate the squares

b² = 16 - 9 = 7 . . . . subtract 9 to isolate the variable

b = √7 . . . . . . . . . . undo the square operation by taking the square root
