Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug 15 in for b and 17 in for c

a^2+15^2=17^2

a^2+225=289

Subtract 225 on both sides

a^2=64

Take the square root of both sides

a=8

Hope this helped! :)

Answer: a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = 17, b = 15

a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

a^2 + 225 = 289

a^2 = 64

a = 8

You start at point A and walk 4 miles north, then 7 miles east, then 1 mile north, then 5 miles east to get to point B. How far
devlian [24]

Answer:

13 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

These distances form a right angled triangle with legs 4+1 = 5 and  (7+5) = 12 miles and the distance between A and B is the hypotenuse.

So the distance AB^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 169

AB = sqrt 169 = 13 miles.

The probability of a particular event is 3/8. What is the probability that the event will not happen? Explain
balu736 [363]
(Probability of it Happening) + (Probability of it not Happening) = 1 (or 100%)

this makes since because it is for sure either going to happen or not happen.
x = probability not happening
3/8 + x = 1
x = 1- 3/8
x = 5/8 (or 62.5%)
