Answer:

7 units long

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right triangle ABC

  • AB = 25 units
  • BC = 24 units

We are required to determine the length of AC

  • We are going to use the Pythagoras theorem;
  • According to the theorem, if a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse, then;

a² + b² = c²

In this case;

AB is the hypotenuse and BC is one of the legs of the triangle;

Therefore;

AB² = BC²+AC²

Rearranging the formula;

AC² = AB² - BC²

       = 25² - 24²

       = 625 - 576

       = 49

AC = √49

     = 7

Thus, AC is 7 units long

Identify the GCF of 6x^2y^2 − 8xy^2 + 10xy
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The GCF for the numerical part is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2y^2-8xy^2+10xy

It contains both numbers and variables, there are two steps to find the GCF(HCF).

1). Find the GCF for the numerical part 6, -8,10

2). Find the GCF for the variable part x^2,y^2,x^1,y^2,x^1,y^3

3).Multiply the values together.

Find the common factors for the numerical part:

6,-8,10

Factors of 6

6: 1,2,3,6

Factors of -8

-8: -8,-4,-2,-1,1,2,4,8

Factors of 10

10:1,2,5,10

Common factors of 6,-8, 10 are 1,2

The GCF Numerical=2

The GCF Variable= xy^2

Multiply the GCF of the numerical part 2 and the GCF of the variable part xy^2, and you'll get 2xy^2

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: 24% of all employees attend night school.

Step-by-step explanation: If 40% of all employees are men and 30% of the men attend night school, we can multiply 0.40 by 0.30 to get the percentage of men who attend night school: 12% or 0.12. To find the number of women who attend night school, multiply 0.20 by 0.60(assuming percentage of men and women add up to 100%) to get 12%. Add 12% and 12% to get 24% of all employees attend night school.
