Lets see
a and b are legs
c=hypotnuse
a^2+b^2=c^2
10^2+b^2=10^2
100+b^2=100
minus 100 both sides
b^2=0
b=0
false, if you have a leg legnth 0, then they lines are right on top of each other




no cannot

Solutions

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c². 

<span>Given 

</span>α² = 10 
c² = 10 

Solve 

α² + β² = c² 
α² (10²) + β² = c² (10²) 
100 + β² = 100 
β² = 100 - 100 = 0 

Simplify 

<span>A right triangle can not have a leg that is 10 meters long and a hypotenuse that is 10 meters long. </span>

the amount of Water and Electric Dishwasher uses to wash dishes varies directly with the number of loads of dishes the dishwashe
Neporo4naja [7]

It would be 80 gallons of water that the dishwasher will use to wash 10 loads of dishes. To figure this out you would need to divide 32 by 4 which would equal 8. You would do this to figure out how many gallons of water a dishwasher needs to wash 1 load of dishes. Then you would multiply 8 times 10 which would equal 80. Hope this helps you!

It takes omar four minutes to eat eight carrots sticks. how long does it take him to eat one ?
astra-53 [7]
It takes Omar 30 seconds to eat one considering he ate 8 in 4 minutes ...

If we really wanted to we could turn this into the fraction 8/4
8 being the amount of carrot sticks he ate and 4 being the time it took
now all u have to do is simplify that turns into 2/1 and since the 1 is one minute and her can eat 2 in one minute we can safely say he eats 1 carrot stick every 30 seconds 

:) hope this helps!!

nydimaria [60]
Well. If you get 29% of 5 cars that is 145%. This was a little confusing but I am defiantly sure it is correct. I like to use simpler numbers to see if I am doing the work right. So I said if he has a 50 % likely hood to find a car that was expired and had 1 car. It would be 50 percent. Now if he had 2nt got it the first time it would be a 100 % chance to find the car expired . Hope I didn’t co fuse you more
