You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
You idiot you answered your own question!
Please find attached photograph for your answer.
3.67 teaspoons, and 1 divided by 17 is 0.05 teaspoons. (All you have to do is divide the teaspoons by X(17).
Answer:
9 Quarters, 3 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
$2.00 = 8 quarters
25cents = 1 quarter
$2 + 25 cents = $2.25
2.55 - 2.25 = .30
30cents = 3 dimes.
Hope this is right.
There were many ways to do this. But this is 1 way.
soooo ya...
