Pythagoras Theorem:
hipotenuse²=side1²  +side2²

a=is the longest side of the triangle (hypotenuse)
b and c: are the other two sides.

In this case:
hipotenuse²=side₁² + side₂²

side₁=a=16
side₂=b=28

c²=16²+28²
c²=256+784
c²=1040
c=√1040=32.2490....≈32.25

Hey there. 

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c². 

Given 

⇒ a² = 16

⇒ b² = 28 

⇒ c² = unknown 

To solve the problem you have to add a² and b². 

a² = 16
<span>b² = 28  
</span>
16² + 28² = c² 

16² = 16 x 16 
28² = 28 x 28

16² = 256
28² = 784

258 + 784 = 1040

a² + b² = 1040

The next step is to find the square root of 1040

√1042 = 32.2490


= <span>32.2490 is rounded to 32.25 
</span>
Answer = (D)

B because the 2 is in the hundredths place and then you look behind the 2 which is a 5.

If its five or more you go up and 4 or less you go down, which means that you add one to the 2 which is 3 and you get rid of anything behind the 3 that was the originally.

Use the graph below to find the equation that it represents.
hoa [83]

Answer:

looking at the image it forms

the equation it'll make B: y= -2x -4

each dot will equal -2 and the dot is maybe one 2 but thats due to the problem of 4-2x1 so it's marked on 2 instead of four incase it throw you off of thy answer of B

Can I get some help abs an easy explanation pls
Svetlanka [38]

we are given the following triangles:

We are asked to determine the value of "y". To do that we will use the tangent of 25:

\tan 25=\frac{y}{x}

We solve for "y" by multiplying both sides by "x":

x\tan 25=y

Now, we take the tangent of 15:

\tan 15=\frac{y}{30+x}

Now, we solve for "y" by multiplying both sides by the denominator:

(30+x)\tan 15=y

Now, we set both values of "y" equal, we get:

x\tan 25=(30+x)\tan 15

now, we solve for "x". First, we apply the distributive property on the right side:

x\tan 25=30\tan 15+x\tan 15

Now, we substract
