Find the length of the leg of the right triangle leave your answer in simplest radical form

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]2 years ago
7 0

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)

anastassius [24]

Answer: Bethany is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is the product of its three dimensions, length, width, and height. The product of a number of "inches" and a "pure number" (3 has no units given) will not be "cubic inches."

_____

As it happens, the cube-shaped box with a volume of 27 cubic inches will have a height of 3 inches and a side area of 9 square inches. The edge length of the cube is 3 inches, not 9.
