- you can use the pythagorean theorem for this.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 16^2 = c^2
144 + 256 = c^2
400 = c^2
- square root this.
c = 20
therefore, x = 20.
so option C.
Answer:
at least 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>If the question was similar to the one given below </em></u>
A researcher plans to identify each participant in a certain medical experiment with a code consisting of either a single letter or a pair of distinct letters written in alphabetical order. What is the least number of letters that can be used if there are 12 participants, and each participant is to receive a different code?
<em><u>The answer would be as follows</u></em>
If we use 3 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get
4C2= 6 ways to use these letters and the comma
If we use 4 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get
5C2= 10 ways to use these letters and the comma
If we use 5 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get
6C2= 15 ways to use these letters and the comma
We need the least number of the alphabets to assign codes to 12 participants.
So the least number of alphabets is 5 because it can give codes to at least to 12 people .
Pair of alphabets + distinct letter ≥ 12
5 + 1 ≥ 12
6c2 ≥ 12
15 ≥ 12
WHat shape? Perimeter is all of the sides added together, so to find out. we would need to see the shape and its dimensions
12-15=3 ............................................................
