Work out the length of the following rectangles

tiny-mole [99]

(a) a = 10.9 cm

(b) b = 20.78 cm

(c) c = 4.06 cm

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)

height, h = 5cm

Hypotenuse, H = 12cm

Base, a = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (h)² + (a)²

(12)² = (5)² + (a)²

119 = a²

a = 10.9 cm

(b)

Hypotenuse, H = 24 cm

Base, a = 12 cm

Height, b = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (b)² + (a)²

(24)² = (b)² + (12)²

432 = b²

b = 20.78 cm

(c)

height, h = 4 cm

Hypotenuse, H = 5.7 cm

Base, c = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (h)² + (c)²

(5.7)² = (4)² + (c)²

16.49 = c²

c = 4.06 cm

Are the following equations equivalent why or why not Branilist for people who explain

wariber [46]

Answer:

Yes, they are equivilant

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3m+2p)-4m = 13p+11m-3p

Distribute 5: 15m+10p-4m = 13p+11m-3p

Combine like terms: 15m+(-4m) = 11m ; 13p+(-3p) = 10p

11m+10p = 11m+10p

logx (531441) = 6

Changing this to an exponential

x^6 =531441

Take the 6th root of each side

(x^6)^1/6 = (531441)^1/6

x =9
