The theorem is a²+b²=c²
Rewritten it is √(a²+b²) = c

The correct answer is:  " c = √(a² + b²) " .
_________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
The Pythagorean theorem is: a² + b² = c² .

↔   c² = a² + b² ;

Take the square root of EACH SIDE OF THE EQUATION;

→ √(c²) = √(a² + b²) ;

→ c =  √(a² + b²) ; which is one of the two answer choices given; which is correct.
_____________________________________________
Note: The other answer choice given:

m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) ; refers to the calculation of the slope of a line; given an equation for a line, in "slope-intercept form"; that is, "y = mx +b" ; in which "m" is the slope, given the coordinate of two points on the line:
________________________________________________
            →   (x₁, y₁) ; and:   (x₂, y₂) ;
_______________________________________

which is NOT related to the "Pythagorean theorem" equation.

The hexagonal prism has a an equation of volume = base * height.

Since we already know the base is 8 sq feet, we can plug in some values and use x as a missing value

40 = 8 * x
Divide by 8
5 = x

X is equal to 5.

What is the equation of a line passing through the points (-3,<br> -2) and (2, 0)?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$y=0.400x+-0.800$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

point A = (-3, -2)
point B = (2, 0)

To write the equation of the line that passes through two points we have to write the points in slope intercept form.

Formula for slope intercept:

$y=mx+b$

M is equal to the slope of the two points, so first we need to fine the slope of the two points.

$(-3,-2)=(x1,y1)$
$(2,0)=(x2,y2)$

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{0--2}{2--3} =\frac{2}{5}$
$m=\frac{2}{5} =0.400$

$y=mx+b$
$y=-2$
$m=0.400$
$x=-3$
$-2=0.400(-3)+b$
$0.400\times-3=-1.20$
$-2+1.2=-0.800$
$b=-0.800$

$y=0.400x+-0.800$

Hope this helps.

The length of a rectangle is 3 ft less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 14 ft2 . find the dimensions of th

omeli [17]

Given: A= 14 ft² and l= 2w-3
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify:
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft
