Remark

This is just the Pythagorean Theorem

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Givens

a = 12

b = ??

c = 20

Solve

12^2 + b^2 = 20^2         Square 12 and 20

144 + b^2 = 400             Subtract 144 from both sides.

b^2 = 400 - 144          

b^2 = 256                      Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(256)

b = 16 <<<< Answer

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can solve.


20^2 - 12^2 = X^2

400 - 144 = X^2

256 = X^2

X = √256

X = 16 feet.


The answer is D.

Lin's family has completed 60% of a trip. They have traveled 30 miles. How long is the whole trip?
tatiyna
This one’s easy if you know how to do the fractions of 5.

The whole trip is 50 miles because 60% of 50 is 30 miles.
