The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 = c^2 - b^2 where a and b = legs and c = hypotenuse

a^2 = 100^2 - 60^2

a^2 =10000 - 3600

a^2 = 6400

a= √6400

a = 80

Answer

The length of the other leg = 80 units

For this, we will be using the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 . Since we have the hypotenuse and one of the legs, we can solve for the other leg. Our equation will look like this: x^2+60^2=100^2

Firstly, solve the exponents: x^2+3600=10000

Next, subtract 3600 on both sides: x^2=6400

Next, square root both sides, and your answer will be x = 80 units

PLEASE HELP! PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION PLS
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Tooth A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger tooth has to be displayed, knowing that no matter how many zeros you add to the end of a decimal, the value of it will stay the same. 0.23 is 1 digit short that 0.195, so if you just add a 0 to 0.23, it make both of them have a digit in the thousandths place. Now it's easier to solve, 0.230>0.195.

Tooth A should be displayed.

I need help on how to solve this equation C+(4-3c)-2=0 stp by step
Mumz [18]
Step 1-  Simplify brackets 
c + 4 - 3c -2 = 0
Step 2- Simplify c + 4 - 3c -2 to -2c + 4 - 2
-2c + 4 - 2 = 0
Step 3- Simplify -2c + 4 - 2 to 2c + 2
-2c + 2 = 0
Step 4- Subtract 2 from both sides 
-2c = -2
Step 5- Divide both sides by -2
Answer: c = 1

What is the product? Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplified form, in the box. −1/4⋅(−6/11)
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

3/22

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4 . (-6/11)

  • You have to multiply the signs: As both are negative, the result will be positive.
  • You have to multiply the numbers in the top part (numerators) and the numbers in the bottom part (denominators)

1 . 6 / 4 . 11 = 6/44

  • Finally, you must simplify the answer by dividing both numbers among the same divisor, in this case the number is 2

6÷2 / 44÷2 = 3/22
