Using the formula a² + b² = c² but reversing it to c² - b² = x² where x replaces the a for comprehension reasons
so this is the formula
c² - b² = x²
insert the numbers on the triangle in the picture
21² - 8² = 377
since 377 is squared and not the side length, we need to square root it to find x
√377 = 19.4~
Answer: x = 19.4
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + y) - z
Let x=3 y=4 and z=5
2*3 +4 -5
Multiply and divide first
6 +4 -5
Then add and subtract
10-5
5
Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side length of the square be x feet.
x^2 - 5 = 59
x^2 = 64
x = ±4 (reject - 4 since length > 0)

Usually, we use the slope formula to find the slope of a line when we know two points on the line. But if we already know the slope of a line, we can use the slope formula to find a missing coordinate of a point on the line.
When finding the reciprocal, it is basicaly flipping the numerator and denominator of the number. For instance, the reciporcal of 2 is 1/2, because the denominator of 2 would be 1. For an example more straight forward, the reciporacle of 3/5 is 5/3. This applied to the question goes as followed.
1. 3/5 is 5/3
2. 1/4 is 4
3. 1 is 1
Similarly when dividing fractions or an integer to a fraction, the fraction that is dividing the number turns into the reciprocal then you would multiply.
4. 3/(3/4) is 3*4/3= 4
5. 5/(3/4) is 5*(4/3)= 20/3
6. 8/(4/7) is 8*(7/3)= 56/3
7. 6/(3/5) is 6*(5/3)= 10
8. 2/(5/8) is 2*(8/5)= 16/5
9. 4/(8/9) is 4*(9/8)= 9/2
