Answer: 20 cm

To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
**The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.**

Substitute in the values.
a² +  b² = c²
12² + 16² = c²

Solve for c, the hypotenuse.
12² + 16² = c²               
144 + 256 = c²
400 = c²
c = √400
c = 20

A jar consists of blue, red and green marbles. The probability of each of them is 2/7 , 3/k and 5/2k. Find the value of k.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

k = 77/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.

probability of blue marbles = 2/7

probability of red marbles = 3/k

probability of green marbles = 5/2k

The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,

2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1

collect like terms

(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7

11/2k =(7 - 2) /7

11/2k = 5/7

cross multiply

10k = 77

divide both sides by 10

k = 77/10

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

9x -5 = 58 since they are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal

9x-5 = 58

Add 5 to each side

9x-5+5 = 58+5

9x = 63

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 63/9

x=7
