Using the pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c = 12 feet
a = 3 feet
b = x feet

12^2 = 3^2 + x^2
144 = 9 + x^2
144 - 9 = x^2
135 = x^2
x = 11.6 feet

Therefore, the answer is B.

How do i solve this rational expression r-4/5r=1/5r+1
NNADVOKAT [17]

r - 4/5r  =  1/5r + 1

Subtract  1/5r from each side:    r - 4/5r - 1/5r  =  1

Combine all the 'r' terms on the left side: 

                                 r - 5/5r  =  1

                                 r  -  r  =  1

                                       0  =  1

There is no value of 'r' that can make ' 0 = 1 ' a true statement.
So the equation has <em>no solution</em>.

What is the product of (2p+7)(3p+4p-3)
Alex

Answer:

The answer is C=6p3 + 29p2 + 22p – 21

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the product, we need to multiply each member of each multiplier:

(2p + 7)(3p2 + 4p – 3) = 2p · 3p² + 2p · 4p + 2p · -3 + 7 ·3p² + 7 · 4p + 7 · -3

                                   =    6p³     +     8p²    -     6p    + 21p²   +  28p   -     21

                                   = 6p³ + 8p² + 21p² + 28p - 6p -21

                                   = 6p³ + 29p² + 22p - 21

Therefore, the product of (2p + 7)(3p2 + 4p – 3) is 6p³ + 29p² + 22p -21
