Answer:

19.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem , the Square of the distance between the top of the piece and the Shadow Is the sum of the height of the piece. and the lenght of the shadow. basically Just build a triangle with the 3 points you are given: height of the piece, lenght of the shadow and distance between the 2. so it's sqrt(13^2+15^2) = sqrt(394) =19.8 cm

Associative property of (21)(7)(3x) ? <br> PLEASE HELPPPP <br> 40 PTS!!!!
sdas [7]
Ehh, now it's letting me answer.

So the associative property is basically as long as it's addition or multiplication,  you can move around the groupings and it will still be the same.

For example, you can say:(21 * 7) (3x)  instead of (21)(7)(3x)

And it would be equal to the old version.

(To answer your other question, the commutative property is you can move around all the parts of the equation as long as it's addition or multiplication.)

So basically, it would be the first one you sent me.
