Answer:

a =12*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +21^2 = 27^2

a^2 +441 =729

Subtract 441 from each side

a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441

a^2 =288

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)

sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)

a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)

a =12*sqrt(2)

To solve by completing the square, what needs to be moved in this equation?
Elza [17]

Answer:

To complete the square, we need to have the equation set up like this:

x^2 +4x =9

To do that, we'd need to move the 4x to the left side producing

4x + x^2 = 9

And that can be rewritten as

x^2 +4x =9

So the term that needs to be moved is -4x
