Answer: 20

Step 1: Define hypotenuse

In any right triangle, there are two legs and one hypotenuse. The legs are the two sides that intersect to show the right angle. The hypotenuse is the longest side, one that is easily found when using Pythagorean Theorem.

Step 2: Define Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the hypotenuse, with the formula
a^2+b^2=c^2
The hypotenuse is represented as the letter c, and the legs are shown with a and b. Keep in mind that ^2 is a way to show that a variable is squared.

Step 3: Solve for hypotenuse

To find the hypotenuse, simple use the information above to substitute the variables for numbers. The only variable that will not be filled in is c, as we are trying to find the hypotenuse.

*Rewrite equation*

a^2+b^2=c^2

*Fill in a and b*

16^2+12^2=c^2

*Multiply 16 by 16; Multiply 12 by 12*

256+144=c^2

*Add numbers on the left side of the equation*

400=c^2

*Get c alone on the right side by finding the square root of 400 and c^2*

√400= √c^2

20=c

Student is training 4 a track team during the first 3 months of the year by running 30 minutes every day, while averaging 5 mile
Novay_Z [31]

30 minutes  -  5 miles;

1 hour -  10 miles

10 hours - 100 miles ...

The independent value is plotted along the x- axis ( Hours ) and the dependent variable is plotted  along the y-axis ( Miles ). Also:

3 months = 90 days

90 x 1/2 hours = 45 hours

Answer: The graph B ) ( or the second one ).

2m=p-q/r solve for r
Oduvanchick [21]

To solve for r, you would start by subtracting p from both sides.

2m - p = -q/r

Multiply everything by r.

2mr - pr = -q

Factor r out of the left side of the equation.

r(2m - p) = -q

Divide both sides by (2m - p).

r = \frac{-q}{2m-p} = \frac{q}{2m + p}.
