Answer:

A)4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming all edges are integral values

The most basic right angles triangle with integral edges is

(3,4,5)

as it obeys pythogores theorem

which is

a^{2}+ b^{2} =c^{2} \\\text{where c is the hypotenuse}\\\text{and a and b are the other side}

3^{2} +4^{2} =5^{2}

Now, double each edge,it will still remain a right angled triangle since it will still obey pythogores theorem

so the edges are (4,6,10)

⇒4 cm is the short leg of a integral right triangle with hypotenuse 10 cm

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5 bags of cement are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, if cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, to determine how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand the following calculation must be done:

Cement = 1

Sand = 3

3 = 15

1 = X

15/3 = X

5 = X

Therefore, 5 bags of cement are required.
