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

Tammy bought 24 apples to feed her horse. She wants to give her horse 2 apples a day. Tammy said that after 10 days she will hav
kipiarov [429]
Yes she is correct..
the reason why is because if she gives her horse 2 apples a day for 10 days, she will have spent 20 apples.
and so to get the number of apples she has remaining after 10 days, just subtract 20 from 24:
   24-20 = 4
and you get four. That means that after 10 days she will indeed have 4 apples left
