Answer: 20 cm
To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
**The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.**
Substitute in the values.
a² + b² = c²
12² + 16² = c²
Solve for c, the hypotenuse.
12² + 16² = c²
144 + 256 = c²
400 = c²
c = √400
c = 20
Answer:
x = 6
y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
By adding both equations :-
=》-4x -2y + 4x + 8y = -12 + (-24)
=》-4x + 4x + 8y - 2y = -12 - 24
=》6y = -36
=》y = -36 ÷ 6
=》y = -6
putting the value of y in equation 2
=》4x + 8y = -24
=》4x + (8 × -6) = -24
=》4x - 48= -24
=》4x = 48 - 24
=》x = 24 / 4
=》x = 6
