Because this is a triangle and we know that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse we just plug in the numbers. But because you have the hypotenuse already you will subtract the leg from the hypotenuse.
A^2+B^2=C^
16^2+B^2=20^2
256+B^2=400 subtract 256 from both sides
B^2=144 now take the square root of both sides
B=12
The second leg is 12 cm long. Your answer is B, the second answer.
Answer:
4394
5200 X 0.12 = 624 --> 5200 - 624 = 4576
5200 X 0.035 = 182
4576 - 182 = 4394
<u>The concept:</u>
We are given the equation:

Which can be simplified as:

Since any number to the power '0' is 1
x² - x must be equal to 0 for the given equation to be true
<u></u>
<u>Solving for x:</u>
x² - x = 0
x(x-1) = 0
now, we can divide both sides by either x OR x-1
So we will see what we get for either choice:
x = 0/(x-1) x-1 = 0/x
x = 0 x = 1
Hence, the value of x is either 0 or 1
