Answer:

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

y² + 84² = 85²

y² + 7056 = 7225 ( subtract 7056 from both sides )

y² = 169 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = \sqrt{169} = 13

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem:

a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2} , where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse

In this case, we already know b (b = 84) and c (c = 85), so we need to solve for a:

a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2} = 85^{2} - 84^{2} = 169 = 13^{2}

Thus, a = y = 13.

How do u regroup when u find the sum of 64+43
Anarel [89]
What we are going to do is use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY. This distributive the numbers, to make it easier to solve.

So we will break 64 up.

64 = 60 + 4

43 = 40 + 3

60 + 40 = 100

4 + 3 = 7

100 + 7 = 107

So, 64 + 43 = 107.
