Hi there!

For the Pythagorean Theorem, basically you just need to apply this formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

And then find the root of the hypotenuse.

For example,

15^2 + 8^2 = the hypotenuse^2

Which equals, 225 + 64 = 289

Square root of 289 = 17

Please mark me brainliest if this helps!

Have a wonderful day!

3.) What is the measure of angle a in the triangle below?<br> a<br> 50°
Rom4ik [11]

40°

Step-by-step explanation:

 ∠ACB = ∠DCE ( vertically opposite angle )

Now...

a + 90° + 50° = 180° ( the sum of interior angle of triangle is 180° )

a + 140° = 180°

a = 180° - 140°

a = 40°

hence the value of a is 40°

A rectangular field is eleven times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 1560 feet, what are the dimensions o
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The dimensions of the field are 65 feet and 715 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be L and the width be W.

Given W = 11L

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W) = 1560 feet

2(L + 11L) = 1560

L = 65 feet

W = 715 feet

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=4 and passes through the point (-2,7)
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Y= 2X+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the given line with y=mx+c will give the slope of the parallel line as 2. Equation of new line in point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1). So y-4 = 2 (x+2) will give you Y= 2X+8
