Simple,

using the Pythagorean Theorem...

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

You have the hypotenuse (C) and one of the legs (A)

So, plug in what you know...

12^{2}+ b^{2}  = 20^{2}

144+b^{2}=400

Now,isolate b^{2}

144+ b^{2} =400
-144                   -144

Leaving you with...

b^{2} =256

So, now, \sqrt{256}, to find what b is..

b=16

Thus, your answer.

IF this is a 'right' triangle, then we can calculate an answer.
If it's NOT a right triangle, then no answer is possible.

I'm going to assume that it's a right triangle, because you did say
that one 'leg' is 12, and you want the length of the other 'leg'.   It's
common to refer to the two short sides of a right triangle as 'legs'.

In "Tales of Pythagoras", we learned that in a right triangle ...

                                            (Longest side)² = (one leg)²  +  (the other leg)²

In your triangle ...

                                               (20)²              =  (12)²  +  (the other leg)²

                                              (400)               =  (144) +  (the other leg)²

Subtract 144 from each side:  (The other leg)²  =  (400 - 144) = 256

                                             The other leg     =   √256  =  16 .

9. If 15 men working 10 days earn $500. How much will 12 men earn working 14,
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Firstly need to understand the questions.

If 15 men working 10 days, They earn 500.

If 12 men working 14 days, how much they will earn?

Step-by-step explanation:

560

Solution:

15 men working for 10 days =500

1 man working for 1 day = 500/(10*15) =10/3

Now 12 men working for 14 days = 12*14*10/3 =560.

I am pretty sure that answer is right.

Thank you :)

Over [174]

Answer:

  A(x) = 20000(0.88)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of these exponential equations is ...

  A(x) = a·b^x

where 'a' is the initial value, and b is the annual growth factor. x is the elapsed time in years.

The growth factor is ...

  growth factor = 1 + growth rate

Here, the growth rate per year is -12%, so the growth factor is ...

  b = 1 -12% = 88% = 0.88

Of course, the initial value is a=20,000, so the equation is ...

  A(x) = 20000(0.88)^x
