Answer:

a =12*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +21^2 = 27^2

a^2 +441 =729

Subtract 441 from each side

a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441

a^2 =288

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)

sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)

a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)

a =12*sqrt(2)

Vesna [10]

Answer:

For a flag with 2 different colours, there are 8 possible colours for the first colour to be chosen from and 7 possible colours (excluding the first colour already chosen) for the second colour to be chosen from, given that colours are different. Hence there are a total of 8 x 7 = 56 possible flags to be created.

<span>Last year, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 475. The headmaster then introduced a new teaching method hoping to improve scores. This year, the mean math SAT score for a sample of students was 491. The headmaster concluded that the new teaching method produces higher SAT scores. The problem with reporting results this way is voluntary response. The information of how the teaching method isnot mentioned.</span>
