Answer: 8 3/4

Explanation: Well in order to solve this equation, you must make the denominators equivalent. A common factor between 4 and 5 is 20. But since we multiplied the denominators, we have to do the same to the numerators. 3 x 5 = 15. 1 x 4 = 4. Our new fractions are now 1 15/20 and 4/20. Now that we have made our denominators equivalent, we can divide. 1 15/20 divided by 4/20 is 8 15/20. But we are not done yet, after we must simplify the fraction. Which would be 8 3/4.

Well, this question isn't really fair, considering that those sides aren't possible to make a square since a square has 4 congruent sides.

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane a right triangle has vertices at (-3,4)(3,4)(3,-4) what is the length in coordinates unit

MAXImum [283]

Given:

The vertices of a right triangle are:

$(-3,4),(3,4),(3,-4)$

To find:

The length of the hypotenuse of the given right triangle.

Solution:

Let the vertices of the right triangle are $A(-3,4),B(3,4),C(3,-4)$ .

The distance formula is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using distance formula, we get

$AB=\sqrt{(3-(-3))^2+(4-4)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{(3+3)^2+(0)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{(6)^2+0}$

$AB=\sqrt{36}$

$AB=6$

Similarly,

$BC=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-4-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{(0)^2+(-8)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{64}$

$BC=8$

And,

$AC=\sqrt{(3-(-3))^2+(-4-4)^2}$

$AC=\sqrt{(6)^2+(-8)^2}$

$AC=\sqrt{36+64}$

$AC=\sqrt{100}$

$AC=10$

Now, taking sum of squares of two smaller sides, we get

$AB^2+BC^2=6^2+8^2$

$AB^2+BC^2=36+64$

$AB^2+BC^2=100$

$AB^2+BC^2=AC^2$

By the definition of the Pythagoras theorem, AC is the hypotenuse of the given triangle.

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 10 units.

13 = m/4 + 7 can you show work too

lukranit [14]

The correct value of this equation is m = 24

<h3>Resolution method</h3>

This equation contains a fractional term. We note that the denominator of this equation is the term 4. Therefore, we will multiply the sides by 4:

13 = m/4 + 7

13 . 4 = 4(m/4) + 7 . 4

52 = m + 28

Now, let's isolate the variable "as negative" and after the equality - we'll be subtracting the terms:

52 = m + 28

-m = 28 - 58

-m = -24

m = 24

Therefore, the correct value of this equation will be m = 24
