Since the measurement of the longest side is missing we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse or longest side.
18^2 + 32^2 = c (hypotenuse) ^2
324 + 1,024 = c^2
1,348 = c^2
sqrt 1,348 = c
36.72 = c
i do not agree with ted because when you use the pythagorean theorem you do not get 47cm
this can be proved by
18^2 + 32 ^2 = 47^2
we already know the left side is 1,348
1,348 = 47^2
1,348 does not equal 2,209 which is 47 squared
Answer in fraction form is exactly 2/27
Answer in decimal form is approximately 0.07407
========================================================
Explanation:
4 people play both,9 play flat flute only, 12 play piano only.
So 4+9+12 = 13+12 = 25 people play one instrument only or they play both.
We have 27 people total meaning that 27-25 = 2 play neither instrument.
Divide the values 2 and 27 to get
2/27 = 0.07407
this value is approximate (rounded to five decimal places)
5x + 7 ≤ −8 or 3x + 7 > 19
5x ≤ - 15 or 3x > 12
x ≤ - 3 or x > 4
Answer
x ≤ - 3 or x > 4
33•3 is 99, so the answer is 3
