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

Answer = (D)

What is 4 6/8+11 1/3
aivan3 [116]
So 4 6/8= (32/4)+6/8=38/8
11 1/3=(33/3)+1/3=34/3
so 38/8+(34/3)

to add you must get the bottom number equall so

114/24+272/24=386/24=16 1/12

3m - 3(m+8) &gt; 3m<br><br><br> (Teacher didn't go over this hopefully I can get an explanation)
zhuklara [117]
Alrighty!

*Note the ">" sign is similar to the "=" sign.

3m - 3(3m + 8) > 3m
3m - 6m + 24 > 3m (distribute)
-3m + 24 > 3m (combine like terms)
24 > 6m (Compute/simplify)
8 > m

Makes sense?

It cost $4 to enter a fair. Each ride costs $2.50. You have 21.50. How many rides can you go on
jekas [21]

Answer:

7 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

So you start off with $21.50. Subtract $4 from 21.50 and you'll end up with $17.50. Now divide $17.50 with the price of each ride which is $2.50 and you end up with 7. You are able to go on 7 rides.
