A^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + b^2 = 5^2

16 + b^2 = 25

b^2 = 9

b = 3 or b = -3

Since b is a leg of a triangle, we discard the negative answer.

b = 3

A = bh/2 = 3 in * 4 in / 2 = 6 in^2

Answer: D. 6 in^2

The Better Nutter Butter Co packed 400 lb. of peanut butter into jars holding 2.5 lbs. each. How many jars were used?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

160 jars

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many jars were used, we just need to divide the amount of stuff by the amount of stuff a jar can hold.

400 (the amount of peanut number in pounds) / 2.5 (the amount of peanut butter each jar can hold) = 160.

So, 160 jars were used to package the 400 pounds of peanut butter.

2.436. Rounded to the nearest whole number
natita [175]

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To round off to the nearest whole number, we look at the tenth place value (the first digit after the decimal point.)

If it is a 0-4, we round the entire number down. If it is 5-9, we round the entire number up.

In this case, the tenth digit is 4. 4 is from the category 0-4, so we round 2.436 down to 2.
