You use the Pythagorean theorem .

Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

<u>Solve for x:</u>

Take out exponent.

12^2 + x^2 = 20^2

Subtract 144 on both sides to get the variable alone.

144 + x = 400

-144         -144

You get the solution as 256. But you know it's bigger than the numbers given. So find the square root of 256.

x = 256

Which leaves you with:

x = 16

<u>Check:</u>

12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

144 + 256 = 400

400 = 400

<u>Key:</u>

a = First shortest side (shorter side with the number smaller than side b and c)

b = Second shortest side (the number that is between side a's and c's number)

c = Third shortest side (longer side with the number larger than side a and b)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar, you can use proportions to solve for the value of x

\frac{x}{12}  = \frac{4}{3}

Now, just multiply 4 and 12.

4 * 12 = 48

Then divide that by 3.

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, x = 16.

kicyunya [14]

Answer: 34 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of triangle = 1/2 x  3.4 x 2.5 = 4.25

To find the volume of the prism, multiply the surface area of the triangle by length.

So 4.25 x 8 = 34 in^3

(Picture) MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS AND SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS PLEASE HELP!!!!
Sidana [21]

Answer:

-2p^2-11p-35

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(p+4)^2-3+5p

First we square the parenthesis. Apply FOIL method to multiply

(p+4)^2= (p+4)(p+4)= p^2 + 4p+4p+16= p^2+8p+16

-2(p^2+8p+16) -3+5p

distribute -2 inside the parenthesis

-2p^2-16p-32-3+5p

Now combine like terms

-2p^2-11p-35
