Answer:

5.7m

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way to solve for a side is to draw the question in a diagram (i have done this below). As it is a right-angled triangle and we know 2 of the side, we can use the Pythagoras theorem:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

sides a and b are the two shorter sides.

side c is the hypotenuse (longest side)

as shown in the picture below, because we know both sides c and b, we need to change the equation around:

c^{2} -b^{2} =a^{2}

replace these sides with their numbers:

6^{2} -2^{2} = 32 (remember that 32 equals side a squared therefore we need to square root 32 to find the length of side a:

\sqrt{32} =5.65685...

the question says to round to the nearest tenth meter:

Missing side = 5.7m

I hope this was helpful :-)

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of exponent:-

\displaystyle \large{( \frac{a}{b}) ^{m}   =  \frac{ {a}^{m} }{ {b}^{m} }  }

Therefore:-

\displaystyle \large{( \frac{a}{4} )^{5} =  \frac{ {a}^{5} }{ {4}^{5} }  }

Answer:

The value of x is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make the left side into 1 fraction by making the denormintor the same and make it into simplest form :

\frac{x}{3}  +  \frac{x}{6}

=  \frac{x \times 2}{3 \times 2}  +  \frac{x}{6}

=  \frac{2x}{6}  +  \frac{x}{6}

=  \frac{2x + x}{6}

=  \frac{3x}{6}

=  \frac{x}{2}

Next you have to multiply both sides by 2 in order to make x the subject :

\frac{x}{2}  =  \frac{7}{2}

\frac{x}{2}  \times 2 =  \frac{7}{2}  \times 2

x = 7
