Answer:

8.94 (Rounded would be 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagorean Theorem formula,

A^2+B^2 = C^2

You have the hypotenuse (c) = 12

and you have a leg (a) = 8

and you're trying to find another leg (b) = x

In order to find this, you'll have to change up the formula in order to find (B) instead of (C)

B^2 = C^2 - A^2

(B) = (12)^2 - (8)^2

(B) = 144 - 64

(B) = 80

Square root of 80

B = 8.9

Devon has 14 steel balls of equal weight. If he puts 8 of them in one pan of a balance, and the rest along with a weight of 20 g

astra-53 [7]

Let n be a number of balls: n = 14

In one pan you have 8 balls: 8n
In the other pan you have the rest of balls (14 - 8 = 6) along with a <span>weight of 20 grams = 6n + 20
So the pans are balanced:
8n = 6n + 20

Now, just solve the equation:
8n - 6n = 20
2n = 20
n = 20/2
n = 10
So, you know that a ball weights 10 grams.</span>
