If all three side lengths are INTEGERS and form PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLE then we know decimals are not allowed

if 24 and 51 are both legs then
24^{2} +  51^{2} =  x^{2}
x = 3177
and squre root of that gives us 56.364.... NOT an integer

So that means one of them is not a leg and since hypotenuse is longer than both legs, 51 must be the hypotenuse so to get the third side

51^{2} -  24^{2}  =  x^{2}[tex] [tex] x^{2}=2025
x=45, leg B

How can you use 1300 divided by 13 to help you find 1,287 divided 13
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about the benefits of estimation.

1300/13 is easy and results in 100.

1287/13 can be approximated by 1300/13:  1287/13 ≈ 100.

Actually, 1287 = 1300 - 13 = 13(99); just subtract 1 from 100.  

So:  1287/13 = 1300 - 13 = 1287.  A nice bit of mental math!

Find a general term an for the sequence whose first four terms are given.<br> 2, 4, 8, 16, ...
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

  an = 2·2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are simple tests to determine whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric. The test for an arithmetic sequence is to check to see if the differences between terms are the same. Here the differences are 2, 4, 8, so are not the same.

The test for a geometric sequence is to check to see if the ratios of terms are the same. Here, the ratios are ...

  4/2 = 2

  8/4 = 2

  16/8 = 2

These ratios are all the same (they are "common"), so the sequence is geometric.

The general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

Filling in the values for this sequence, we find the general term to be ...

  an = 2·2^(n-1)

The purchase price of a camera is $84. The carrying case is 12% of the purchase price. Tax 6% of the subtotal. What is the total
ICE Princess25 [194]
Hi there! So, we know that the price of the camera is $84, and the carrying case is 12% of that price. Let's find the cost of the case. To find the cost of the carrying case, all you have to do is multiply the price of the camera by the percentage. 84 * 12% (0.12) is 10.08. The price of the carrying case is $10.08. Let's add that price to the price of the camera. 84 + 10.08 is 94.08. $94.08 is the purchase price, but we're not done. We must add the tax in to find the total price. We can add 100% to the tax rate of 6% to get 106% Adding 100% to the amount of tax helps us get straight to the total price. Multiply that by 94.08. 94.08 * 106% (1.06) is 99.7248 or 99.72 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. There. The total price of the purchase is $99.72.
