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)

A can of soda is placed inside a cooler. As the soda cools, its temperature T (x) in degrees celsius is givien by the following
wel

Answer:

Initial 18 degrees Celsius

After 20 minutes, 5 degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s initial temperature can be calculated as at the time when x = 0

When x = 0, the temperature is -6+24 = 18 degrees Celsius

This is because the exponent part equals 1 since anything raised in to the power of zero is one.

After twenty minutes,

T(x) = -6 +24e^-0.038(20)

T(x) = -6 + 11.224 = 5.224

And that is approximately 5 degrees Celsius to the nearest degree
