Answer:

  (d)  36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use your sense of geometry.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle will never be less than the longest side, and will never be greater than 1.5 times the longest side*.

That means the only reasonable answer choices will be between 30 and 45 feet. There is only one such choice.

The measure is about 36 feet.

__

If you like, you can find a more exact value using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance d of interest is ...

  d^2 = 20^2 +30^2 = 1300

  d = √1300 = 10√13 ≈ 36.0555 ≈ 36 . . . feet

_____

* The longest hypotenuse will be √2 ≈ 1.4142 times the longest right triangle leg when the two legs are equal length.

Massa says that 540 ÷ 6 = 9. Is he right? Explain how you know using an equation.
Masteriza [31]

Both sides of the equation are not equal, therefore, Massa was wrong.

<h3>How to Evaluate an Equation?</h3>

For an equation to be correct, the values on both sides of the equation must be equal and balance.

Given the expression, 540 ÷ 6 = 9, 540 divided by 6 is 90. 90 is not equal to 9.

Thus, the value on the both sides are not balanced, therefore, Massa is incorrect.
