Math question 2! Thanks if you help
Greeley [361]

Answer: 15.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Two legs of right angle in right triangle given are 12m and 10m.

For the third side use Pythagoras theorem:

C^2= a^2+b^2

C=√[(12^2)+(10^2)]

C=√[144+100]

C=√[244]= 15.6 m

Pythagorean Theorem in Cones. I need a lot of help.
Nadya [2.5K]
The Pythagorean Theorem formula is listed below. It can only be applied to right triangles.

(side1)^2 + (side2)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

Since we are given that the base is 8cm, we know that the side of one triangle is 4cm. We are also given that the hypotenuse is 8cm. The height of the cone will be one of the short sides. If we plug these numbers into the formula, we get the following...

4^2 + height^2 = 8^2 

If we solve for height, we get the following...

height = sqrt(8^2 - 4^2) = sqrt(64 - 16) = sqrt(48)

Since we are only asked for what is inside the square root, our answer is 48.

A spinner has 45% chance of landing on green. What is the probability a spinner first not falling on green
wolverine [178]
If the probability of getting a green is 45%, then the probability of the opposite, not getting a green, is the "complement", namely 100% - 45%, or 55%.

What numbers would you subtract from each side of the equation x + 12 = 17 + 3 to get the variable by itself ?
kenny6666 [7]
The number you would subtract on both sides would be 12... but this in  and of itself is not the first step. the way you would solve this is by:
combine like terms. x + 12=20
then, subtract 12 from both sides to get variable alone.
you will end up with a final answer of x=8
