You will use a2+b2=c2 (squared).The leg will represent the a2 or either b2 and the hypotenuse will be the c2.After filling in the variables you will then subtract the a2 which is the leg from the c2 which is the hypotenuse.And then you will factor it or square root it.If you square root it and it’s not a feasible answer then use the Christmas tree or birthday cake method to factor the answer and then you’ll have the value of b2 which is the unknown leg.

5/8 as a decimal with work
Paul [167]

Answer:

0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions are another way to show two numbers being divided. The top number of the fraction (numerator) is divided by the bottom number (denominator).

In this case, it would be 5 divided by 8.

This equals 0.625, making 0.625 your answer.

Part (a)

The picture alone, without the frame, is 16 by 20

When accounting for the frame, the larger rectangle is 16+2x by 20+2x

We add up all four sides to get the perimeter

(16+2x)+(20+2x)+(16+2x)+(20+2x)

8x+72

or you can use this perimeter of a rectangle formula

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2(20+2x+16+2x)

P = 2(4x+36)

P = 8x+72

Answer: 8x+72

=========================================

Part (b)

Multiply the length and width to find the area of the rectangle.

area = length*width

A = L*W

A = (20+2x)*(16+2x)

A = 20(16+2x) + 2x(16+2x)

A = 320+40x + 32x + 4x^2

A = 4x^2 + 72x + 320

Answer: 4x^2 + 72x + 320

=========================================

Part (c)

Plug x = 2 into the perimeter equation found in part (a)

P = 8x+72

P = 8*2+72

P = 16+72

P = 88

Now plug x = 2 into the area equation found in part (b)

A = 4x^2 + 72x + 320

A = 4(2)^2 + 72(2) + 320

A = 4(4) + 72(2) + 320

A = 16 + 144 + 320

A = 160+320

A = 480

-------------

Answers:

Perimeter = 88 inches

Area = 480 square inches

Need help asap , this is for my online geometry class.​
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

MOP = DAB

Step-by-step explanation:

the sides have to be matched up as well. the side with only one dash (MO) has to correspond with the side with one dash from the other triangle (DA). Thus, the letters in the sequence (MOP) have to match up in the same order (DAB)
