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)

Dont understand it, so yeah need some help​
Sonja [21]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the coordinates (6, 3) and (8, 4), allowing us to calculate the slope (or gradient). To do this, you divide the change in y by the change in x, which is 1/2 which is a half.

The form of a linear equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

We have the gradient, so we can put it in the equation:

y = x/2 + c

We can now substitute in a pair of our coordinates and rearrange to find the y-intercept.

3 = 6/2 + c

3 = 3 + c

c = 0

Therefore the equation for our line is y = x/2.

We can now put in the y coordinate we were given to work out the corresponding x coordinate:

-2 = x/2

x = -4

Therefore n is -4.

Delila is multiplying three negative numbers and determines that the solution will be negative. is she correct or incorrect?
I am Lyosha [343]

Delila is correct as she multiplying three negative numbers and determines that the solution will be negative.

As given in the question,

Let the three negative numbers be -x , -y , and -z.

Delia is multiplying three negative numbers

Multiply First two numbers

(-x) (-y) = + x y  as (-)(-) = +

Multiply by third numbers

(+x y) (-z) = -x y z   as ( +)(-) = -

Therefore, Delila is correct as she multiplies three negative numbers and determines that the solution will be negative.

624,612 rounded to the nearest hundred is
Dimas [21]

Answer:

624 600

Step-by-step explanation:

624 <u>6</u>12

you have to concentrate at the 1 because because it's at the tens place, if the 1 is not greater than 5 you don't have to do anything. you just have to remove the two numbers before the the number 6 and you so it automatically should be 624 600.

To round a number to the nearest hundredth , look at the next place value to the right (the tens this time). Same deal: If it's 4 or less, just remove all the digits to the right. If it's 5 or greater, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place, and then remove all the digits to the right.
