Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is just playing with the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 with a and b as legs and c as the hypotenuse.
Let's say a is equal to 1500 so then c is 4 times b
1500^2 + b^2 = (4b)^2 Now we just treat this like a normal algebraic expression
2,250,000 = 16b^2 - b^2
2,250,000 = 15b^2
150,000 = b^2
sqrt(150,000) = b
100sqrt(15) = b
You can check this now.
1500^2 + sqrt(150,000)^2 = c^2
sqrt(2,250,000 + 150,000) = c
sqrt(2,400,000) = c
400sqrt(15) = c Which fits the requirement of c = 4b
14a. =
15b. 2/3 is less than 0.667
16c. 3 7/8 is greater than 3.375
17d. 3/8 is less than 1/2
<em>p = 21</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a midsegment, the base is going to be two times as large as the midsegment. You can find the midsegment if you multiply it by two and set it equal to the base. I have attached a photo below that may help you.
This is the equation we will be using.

Now let's solve! Let's start by distributing the 2 by what's in the parentheses.

Subtract p from both sides.

Add 26 to both sides.
<u>p = 21</u>
