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

Answer:  D.    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)

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Khan gives you right answer and tells you what's wrong, but this site is for help so, all you need to do is use the destructive property.

12 x 2= 24 12 x 3 = 36 12 x -1 = -12

now you have the original expression, 24 + 36 - 12 (without the letters.)

The function f(x)={1/5}^x is translated up 4 units. Which equation represents the translated function
insens350 [35]
f(x+n)\to\text{translation n units left}\\\\f(x-n)\to\text{translation n units right}\\\\f(x)+n\to\text{translation n units up}\\\\f(x)-n\to\text{translation n units down}\\\\\\f(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^x\to f(x)+4=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^x+4\\\\Answer:\ g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^x+4
