A^2+b^2=c^2 so c^2=12^2+16^2 which then simplifies to c^2=144+256 then simplify that to c^2=400. After that take the square root of c^2 and the square root of 400. So your answer is c=20
For the answer to the question above asking to p<span>rove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle,
</span>A right triangle consists of two sides called the legs and one side called the hypotenuse (c²) . The hypotenuse (c²)<span> is the longest side and is opposite the right angle.
</span>⇒ α² + β² = c²
<span>
"</span>In any right triangle ( 90° angle) <span>, the sum of the squared lengths of the two legs is equal to the squared length of the hypotenuse."
</span>
For example: Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are 3 inches and 4 inches.
c2 = a2+ b2
c2 = 32+ 42
c2 = 9+16
c2 = 15
c = sqrt25
c=5
Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.
At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).
But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles.
21 square yards. Length times width (7 times 3) equals 21
Answer: 0.92 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Roberto will make 11 pounds of fudge but wants to give it away as presents to 12 friends.
Each friend will therefore get;
= 11 pounds/ 12
= 0.92 pounds
