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.

Gaurav takes 15 rounds of a rectangular park whose length is twice its breadth. If the total distance covered by Gaurav is 900m
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

length = 20 breadth = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 900 by 15

= 60

60 divided by 6 because the length is twice the breath

60 / 6 is 10

so ten is the breadth of one side and double that is 20 so the length is 20

Hope this helped!

If f(x) is an even function and (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), which reason explains why (–6, 8) must also be a
ch4aika [34]

Definition: A function is "even" when f(x) = f(−x) for all x.

Geometrically speaking, the graph face of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after reflection about the y-axis.

If point (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), then f(6)=8 and since function is even, you can state that f(-6)=f(6)=8. This means that point (-6,8) must also be a point on the graph. Geometrically it means that the output of a negative x-value and its opposite is the same.

Answer: correct choice is A.

What is the approximate perimeter?
vladimir1956 [14]
300^2 + 500^2 = c^2
9000 + 250000=c^2
340000=c^2
sqrt (340000) = c
c = 583
300 + 500 + 583 = 1383
1380 is the perimeter
