Why is it difficult to find length of the hypotenuse the same way the length of the legs can be found?

It is difficult to find length that way because you still need that extra step where are apply the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs), which could use a lot of useless squaring, when you could do something clever instead.

Answer:

bc the length of the hypotenuse is the sum of the other two legs. thats why the equation is: a^2(hypotenuse) = b^2 + c^2 (the other two legs)

If θ = 330° and α = 300°, find the exact value of tan θ − sin α.

Vilka [71]

X = tan (330) - sin (330)
x = 0.133557089 - -0.132381629
x = 0.133557089 + 0.132381629
x = 0.265938718

Two skateboarders start a race at the same time. Skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second. Skateboarder B t

notsponge [240]

So covert 4 minutes to seconds. Which would be 4 times 60 which would mean there would be 240 seconds. So you would multiply 15 x 240 = 3,600 feet. Then multiply 22 x 240 = 5,280 feet. 5,280 - 3,600 = 1,680 feet.

ANSWER:
Skateboarder B will have traveled 1,680 more feet over 4 minutes.
