Answer:

1.  C) 2/5 or 4.47   if 2/5 means 2 sqrt(5)

2. sqrt(68)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a = distance AB = 4   b = BC = 2   and c = AC = ?

4^2 + 2^2 = c^2

16 + 4 = c^2

20 = c^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(20) = c

sqrt(4) * sqrt(5) = c

2sqrt(5) = c


2.  using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a = distance AC = 8   b = BC = 2   and c = AB = ?

8^2 + 2^2 = c^2

64 + 4 = c^2

68 = c^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(68) = c

sqrt(4) * sqrt(17) = c

2sqrt(17) = c

did you forget to put the square root of B

Hi There!

-------------------------------------------

Pythagorean Thereom: c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

-------------------------------------------

Question 1:

a and b = both legs.

c = hypotenuse (AC)

c = \sqrt{2^2 + 4^2}

c = \sqrt{4 + 16}

c = \sqrt{20}

c ≈ 4.47

Answer: C) 2/5 or 4.47

-------------------------------------------

Question 2:

a and b = both legs.

c = hypotenuse (AB)

c = \sqrt{2^2 + 8^2}

c = \sqrt{4 + 64}

c = \sqrt{68}

c ≈ 8.25

Answer: C) 9 units

-------------------------------------------

Hope This Helps :)

Take the digits 4,5,6,7,8and9.make any three numbers each with 8digits
Anna [14]
So we can use the following digits: 4,5,6,7,8,9

and we need three numbers with 8 digits each. Here are some examples:
1)
45 678 999 (you can also write 45,678,999 for easier reading)

2) 44 456 789 (you can also write 44,456,789 for easier reading)

3)45 678 456 (or 45,678,456)

Rectangle A has side lengths measuring 4 inches and 9 inches. Rectangle B is similar to rectangle A but has side lengths three t
Bess [88]
The answer is c. 78 square inches.

- you take both 4 and 9, multiply them by 3 which would give you 12 and 27. then you add 27 twice and 12 twice, together and get 78.

jasenka [17]
The equation would be y = (x+4)² + 7

Because adding 4 to 'x' creates a transformation 4 units left and adding 7 to the whole function moves the parabola up 7
