Hello!

If you add up the squares of the two legs, it will equal the square of the hypotenuse. As we already have the hypotenuse, we will subtract.

225-81=144

Now we find the square root.

√144=12

Therefore, the other leg is 12 cm long.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

We apply the theorem of Pythagoras. Let x be the other side, y the hypotenuse and z the smallest side.

x² = y² - z²

x² = 15² - 9²

x² = 225 - 81 = 144

x = √(144) = 12 cm

Bye :)

Is -2.9 a rational or integer or whole or natural number
Burka [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It might help to get artsy/crafty with this.  I made it out of construction paper, but I'm going to tell you how to draw it.

Draw a large circle, over have the page.  Every number, ever, even the numbers in the smaller circles, go into this circle, fractions, decimals, negatives, zero, whole numbers, every number.   Negative infinity to positive infinity and everything in between.  These are rational numbers.

Now draw a smaller circle inside that one.  In the smaller circle there are positive and negative numbers, but no fractions.  Every number in this circle is also in the larger circle, but not every number in the bigger circle in in this smaller one.   Negative infinity to positive infinity, no fractions.   These are integers.

Draw a smaller circle inside the smaller one.  No negative numbers in this one, only positive numbers and zero.  0 to infinity, no fractions. These are whole numbers.

One more circle inside the smallest one.  Only positive whole numbers in here. No zero.   1 to infinity, no fractions.  These are natural numbers.

-2.9 is negative and decimal, so not a natural, not a whole, not an integer.  That leaves rational.

PLEASE SOMEONE WHO IS SMART ANSWER THIS QUESTION
Daniel [21]

Answer:

36/32 or 1 1/8 (same thing)

Step-by-step explanation:

9 gallon / 32 quarts

First, you have to convert 9 gallon to quarts to match the denominator. In the table, it says that 1 gallon = 4 quarts, so you have to do, 9 x 4 which gives you 36. Now that the fraction is in the same form of units, 36 quarts / 32 quarts, you will have to write it as a mix fraction or you can just leave it as 36 quarts / 32 quarts. If you want it in mix fraction, it is 1 1/8.
