Answer:

The length of the other leg of the triangle is \sqrt{39} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem  says that: <em>If a and b are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse, then the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. </em>

This relationship is represented by the formula:

                                                 a^2+b^2=c^2

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the legs and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

From the information given we know that one leg is 5 units and the hypotenuse is 8 units.

Applying the above formula and solving for <em>b</em> we get that

5^2+b^2=8^2\\\\5^2+b^2-5^2=8^2-5^2\\\\b^2=39\\\\b=\sqrt{39}

27.) FEMALE LAWYERS There are 1,094,751 active lawyers living
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

28.6%; 313,099

Step-by-step explanation:

Lawyers are either male or female, so if 71.4% are male, then 100% minus that are female.

100% - 71.4% = 28.6%

28.6% of 1,094,751 is:

0.286 × 1094751 = 313098.786

Rounded to the nearest whole number, there are 313,099 female lawyers.
