Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
you do 4×2 then you get 8.After that you do 72÷8 to get 9
Answers:
hypotenuse = 20 feet
longer leg = 16 feet
======================================================
Explanation:
c = x = length of the hypotenuse
a = x-4 = length of one of the legs
b = 12 = length of the other leg
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2
144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2
144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel
160-8x = 0
160 = 8x
8x = 160
x = 160/8
x = 20 is the hypotenuse
x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg
--------
Check:
12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400
20^2 = 400
Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.
Answer:
Vertical lines will not be considered since their slopes are undefined and cannot be considered equal. If the lines are parallel horizontal lines, the slopes are both zero. Now let's consider all lines that are not vertical and not horizontal.
