It could be either, we need more info. How big are each? If it doesn't say, then it's a trick question. Throw Schrodinger's cat at it or something.
Compose the quadratic condition in standard shape, ax2 + bx + c = 0. Recognize the values of a, b, c. Write the Quadratic Equation. At that point substitute within the values of a, b, c. Simplify. Check the arrangements.
Speed=15 m/s
1 hour=60 minutes
60 minutes=60 minutes (60 seconds/1 minute)=3600 seconds.
15 m/s=(15 m/s)(1 mile / 1609 m)(3600 s/1h)=33.56... miles/hour≈
≈33.6 miles/hour.
Answer: the speed in miles per hour would be 33.6 miles/hour
So the answer is (2c – 3) (2c – 3) or (2c – 3)^2
Answer:
Third answer (she is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem states that a²+b²=c². This is not equivalent to (a+b)²=c² (due to FOIL expansion, this expands to a²+2ab+b²=c²).
This matches with the third answer, as she has to do a² and b≥ separately.
**This question involves expanding perfect squares, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!
