Simplify them all down to 5 then solve
The friend is wrong - According to the Pythagorean Theorm, if c is the hypotenuse and a and b are opposite sides then c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}
if c=65 inches, a=16 inches and b = 63 inches, then
65^{2} =16 ^{2} + 63^{2}
right hand side of the equation = 256 + 3969 = 4225
left hand side of the equation = 65^{2}= 4225
So we see, left hand side = right hand side
Hence the theorm is proved.
Well it have to be D because 32 and 20 can not go into 64 to 40 because 32 times 64 is 2048 and 64 times 20 is 1280 and if it was 40 times 32 and 20 it will still be higher. I HAVE FAITH IN YOU.
Question 2:
The answer is 21
The two angles are vertically opposite, which makes them equal and also means we can make an equation:
4x - 4 = 3x + 17
- 3x
x - 4 = 14
+ 4
x = 21
Question 3:
The answer is 23
Again, the angles are vertically opposite, so we can make them equal each other:
5x - 53 = 3x - 7
- 3x
2x - 53 = -7
+ 53
2x = 46
÷ 2
x = 23
I hope this helps!
For # 9, the answer is 4 pants and 11 shirts, see in the comments for my explanation
