The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides.
BC² = AB² + AC²
BC² = 4² +4² = 32
BC = √32 = 4√2
BC = 4*1.41 = 5.64
The length of segment BC is 5.64 m.
It would stay the same at 800,000 because there's nothing to show that it can be rounded.
things were not as complicated when I was in middle school.
Xy = 6
x + y = 9
x + y = 9
x - x + y = -x + 9
y = -x + 9
xy = 6
x(-x + 9) = 6
x(-x) + x(9) = 6
-x² + 9x = 6
-x² + 9x - 6 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-9x) - 1(6) = 0
-1(x² - 9x + 6) = 0
-1 -1
x² - 9x + 6 = 0
x = -(-9) ± √((-9)² - 4(1)(6))
2(1)
x = 9 ± √(81 - 24)

x = 9 ± √(57)

x = 4.5 ± 0.5√(57)
x + y = 9
4.5 ± 0.5√(57) + y = 9
- (4.5 ± 0.5√(57)) - (4.5 ± 0.5√(57))
y = 4.5 ± 0.5√(57)
(x, y) = (4.5 ± 0.5√(57), 4.5 ± 0.5√(57))
The two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to 9 are 4.5 ± 0.5√(57).
