Answer:
2.) 7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
5^2 + 6^2 = c^2
25+36 = c^2
61 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(61) = sqrt(c^2)
7.810249676 = c
Answer:
Use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles to solve this
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse
so:
8^2 + b^2 = 17^2 solve for the second leg, b
64 + b^2 = 289
b^2 = 289 - 64= 225
b = 15
Answer: B. 3x + 1/5
tom's pencil is longer than Ellen's pencil:
5x + 2/5 - (2x + 1/5) = 5x - 2x + 2/5 - 1/5 = 3x + 1/5 (cm)
