Answer:

40 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

It's 40 mm because the Pythagorean Theorem explains a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

This means the unknown number plus 30^2 = 50^2

What you want to do is 50^2 - 30^2= 20^2; which would be 2500-900=1600.

You got 1600 but that isn't your final answer. You want to find the square root 1600. So 1600 square rooted is 40.

40 mm is your final answer.

I don't have a visual I can provide, but the ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the perimeters of a 2D figure.

Intuitively, you can imagine that the triangle is simply being "scaled up" by a factor of 7/3, so the base scales up to 7/3 its original length and the height becomes 7/3 its original height.

Therefore, the new ratio is the square of the ratio of the perimeters, which is 9:49.

Ashley can ride her bicycle 15 ml in 2 hours. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and there are 1,760 in 1 mile. How many yards does

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

220 Yards per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

15miles/2hours

**To show mph**

7.5miles/1hour ; Now you want to convert the miles into yards and the hours into minutes.

7.5*1,760/60minutes

13200/60 minutes ; now divide to show yards per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

$sin \: 45 \degree = \frac{39}{z} \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } = \frac{39}{z} \\ \\ \therefore \: z = 39 \sqrt{2} \\ let \: p \: be \: the \: perpendicular \: \\ \\\therefore \: tan \: 45 \degree = \frac{39}{p} \\ \\ \therefore \:1 = \frac{39}{p} \\ \\ \therefore \:p = 39 \\ \\ sin \: 60 \degree = \frac{39}{x} \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{39}{x} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{78}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{78 \sqrt{3} }{ 3 } \\ \\ \therefore \: x = 26 \sqrt{3} \\\\tan\: 60 \degree = \frac{39}{y} \\ \\ \therefore \: \sqrt{3} = \frac{39}{y} \\ \\ \therefore \: y = \frac{39}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ \therefore \: y= \frac{39 \sqrt{3} }{ 3 } \\ \\ \therefore \: y = 13 \sqrt{3} \\$
