Let
A------> <span>(1, 4)
B------> (6, 4)
C----->  (6,1)

we know that
In </span><span>a right triangle there are  two legs and one hypotenuse
</span><span>
step 1
find the distance AB
d=</span>√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(4-4)²+(6-1)²]-----> d=√25----> 5
AB=5 units

step 2
find the distance BC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(1-4)²+(6-6)²]-----> d=√9----> 3
BC=3 units

step 3
find the distance AC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(1-4)²+(6-1)²]-----> d=√34----> 5.83 
AC=5.83 units

therefore
the two legs are
AB=5 units
BC=3 units
the hypotenuse is
AC=5.83 units

the answer is
<span>the length of the longer leg is AB=5 units
</span>
see the attached figure

Hiram raises earthworms. In a square of compost 4 ft by 4 ft, he can have 1000 earthworms. How many earthworms can he have if hi
charle [14.2K]
64,000 I believe. What I did was find the area so 4*4 =16. 1000/16 = 62.5 earthworms per square foot. So if the side is 8 times longer then 8*4= 32 feet per side and to find the area of that it's 32*32 = 1024 feet squared. So 62.5 * 1024 =64,000

What are these fractions in simplest form?
Anton [14]
\frac{16y^{3}}{20y^{4}} =  \frac{4}{5y}
\frac{6xy}{16y} =  \frac{3x}{8}
\frac{abc}{10abc} =  \frac{1}{10}
\frac{mn^{2}}{pm^{5}n} =  \frac{n}{pm^{4}}
\frac{12h^{3}k}{16h^{2}k^{2}} =  \frac{3h}{4k}
\frac{8x}{10y} =  \frac{4x}{5y}
\frac{24n^{2}}{28n} =  \frac{6n}{7}
\frac{30hxy}{54kxy}  =  \frac{5h}{9k}
\frac{5jh}{15jh^{3}} =  \frac{1}{3h^{2}}
\frac{20s^{2}t^{3}}{16st^{5}} =  \frac{5s}{4t^{2}}

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let : x and t this numbers : x +y = -81/4

                                            y == -52/3

x + (-52/3) = -81/4

x = -81/4 + 52/3........continue
