Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
plug the numbers into the Pythagorean theorem
which is A^2 + B^2 = C^2
First, you want to divide both sides by 3 to isolate your variable. You get x^2 = 9. The square root of x^2 and 9 equals x = 3.
x = 3 is your answer.
46/45. do u know how 2 do it? hope u do
So we have lengths a and b and are given:
2a+2b = 66 => a+b = 33 => a= 33-b
a*b = 272
plug in one into the other:
(33-b)b = 272 => -b^2 +33b - 272 = 0
Can be factored as (b-16)(b-17) = 0, if you don't "see" this immediately, use the well known abc formula to find b.
So a=16 and b=17 or vice versa.
