Answer:

b = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b ^2 = c^2

Given:

a = 12

b = ?

c = 15

Plug in values:

12^2 + b^2 = 12^2

Solve for b^2:

b^2 = 15^2 - 12^2

b^2 = 225 - 144

b^2 = 81

Take square root of both sides to find b:

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(81)

b = 9


Hope this helps! :)

Briefly Explain what is a dependent varieble and an independent varieble.
Nikolay [14]
<span>An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable. Other factors (such as what they eat, how much they go to school, how much television they watch) aren't going to change a person's age. In fact, when you are looking for some kind of relationship between variables you are trying to see if the independent variable causes some kind of change in the other variables, or dependent variables.

</span><span>Just like an independent variable, a dependent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is something that depends on other factors. For example, a test score could be a dependent variable because it could change depending on several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it. Usually when you are looking for a relationship between two things you are trying to find out what makes the dependent variable change the way it does.

Claude purchased a container of peanuts that weighs 4 kilograms. Taryn purchased a container of peanuts that weighs 4,100 grams.
Vilka [71]

Answer: 100 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Claude purchased a container of peanuts that weighs 4 kilograms. We can convert this to grams and it'll be:

= 4 × 1000 grams = 4000 grams.

Taryn purchased a container of peanuts that weighs 4,100 grams. The difference will then be:

= 4100 grams - 4000 grams

= 100 grams

Taryn bought 100 grams more.
