Answer:

\sqrt{28} \approx 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem says if you have a right triangle, then relationship between the three sides is the sum of the square of each leg is the hypotenuse squared.

So a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Plug in your a,b, and c. In this case it is a,6, and 8.

This means we have

a^2+6^2=8^2

Simplify where you can before we begin the solving (the moving around of things to other sides).

a^2+36=64

Now time for the solving. We are first going to get a^2 by itself.

To do this, we just need to subtract 36 on both sides giving us:

a^2=64-36

a^2=28

Now to get rid of the square on a, just square root both sides:

a=\sqrt{28}.

Question 12 1 pts If the population of a country is reported in the year 1990 as 471.56 million and in the year 2000 as 492.53 m
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

  526.39 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation can be written as ...

  p(t) = 471.56(492.53/471.56)^(t/10)

Then p(25) ≈ 525.75 . . . . million

__

The closest answer choice is 526.39 million.

__

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>

Reverse-engineering the answer, we find it was computed using the exponential equation ...

  p(t) = 471.56e^(0.0044t)

  p(25) = 471.56·1.116278 ≈ 526.39

The k factor in the exponent is <em>inappropriately rounded</em> from 0.004350903. You cannot use a 2-significant-figure constant to arrive at an accurate 5-significant-figure answer.

A block of oak has volume of 200 cubic centimeter and weighs 0.12 kilograms. What is its density? Will it floats on water?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Density  = Mass (grams) / Volume (Milliliters)

Density = 120 grams / 200 ml

Density = .60 grams per ml

Density is less than 1 so it will float on water.
