Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2. You are trying to find x which is c^2
so plug in the other numbers to the other letters. 9^2 + 17^2 = c^2
9^2= 81. 17^2= 289
81 + 289 = 370
370= c^2
Now all you have to do is square root the number
*square root sign* 370
19.24
c = 19.24
So, x = 19.24
Since C is 2mi east of A and 2mi south of B, the shortest distance from A to B would be a straight line which is equal to the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 2mi and a height of 2mi..
d^2=x^2+y^2
d^2=2^2+2^2
d^2=4+4
d^2=2*4
d=√(2*4)
d=2√2 mi (exact)
d≈2.83 mi (to nearest hundredth of a mile)
Answer:
$284.60
Step-by-step explanation:
7.3% of $265.24 = 19.36252,
So the tax is $19.36.
19.36 + 265.24 = 284.60
So the total grocery bill is $284.60.
Answer:
The side length would be 24. However the total area is 576.
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to approach this would be to express 125^2 as (125)(125).
Note also that 125^(4^3) = 125^(1 + 1/3) = (125)(5)
Therefore, the given expression boils down to
(125)(125) 125
--------------- = ------- = 25
5 (125) 5
There are other ways in which you could reduce the given expression.
