Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st Case:</u>

4 and 5 are legs of the right triangle.

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

We can say that 4^2+5^2=x^2

16+25=x^2

41=x^2

x=√41

√41 is about 6.4

x=6.4

<u>2nd Case</u>

5 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle and 4 is the legs.

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

We can say that 4^2+x^2=5^2

16+x^2=25

x^2=9

x=3

<u>Final Step</u>

We need to multiply the two possible lengths for x. So for case 1 the length of x was 6.4 and for case two the length was 3. 6.4*3=19.2

Anwser: <u>19.2</u>

Can someone help me with this math question WILL GIVE 20 POINTS. By the way it’s not 51.496
GrogVix [38]

Below is the formula for the circumference of a circle

C = 2πr

This question gives us the diameter. To find the radius (r) you would divide the diameter by two like so...

16.4/ 2  = 8.2

Plug what you know into the formula and solve...

π = 3.14

r = 8.2

C = 2(3.14)(8.2)

C = 6.28(8.2)

C = 51.496

In the question it asks to round to the nearest tenth like so...

51.5

Hope this helped!
