Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)². Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get (shortest side) = 13.3 cm

The first three terms in the binomial expansion of (a+b)^n in ascending powers of b, are p,q and r respectively. show that q^2/p

katen-ka-za [31]

First 3 terms are a^2 + n a^(n-)1 b + n(n-1)/2 * a^(n-2) b^2

So q^2 / pr = (n^2 * a^(2n-2) * b^2 ) / (1/2 * a^n * (n(n-1) * a^(n-2) * b^2 )

= n^2 * a^2n-2 * b^2

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

1/2 n(n-1) * a^(2n-2) * b^2

= 2n / n - 1 as required

given p = 4, q=32 and r = 96:-

32^2 / 4*96 = 2n / n-1

2n / n-1 = 8/3

6n = 8n - 8

2n = 8
