Answer:

a stands for one of the sides opposite the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagoras theorem is

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two opposite sides.

P.S. Please mark my answer as brainliest, I need it to rank up.

Answer:

A theorem stating that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other sides. It is mathematically stated as c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b the lengths of the other two sides.

Find three consecutive natural numbers if the square of the smallest number is 65 less than the product of the remaining two num
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

21, 22, and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive natural numbers can be represented as n, n+1, and n+2.

The square of the smallest number would be n^2 and its equal to the product of the other two (n+1)(n+2).

So the equation is n^2 = (n+1)(n+2) -65\\n^2 = n^2 +n+2n+2-65\\n^2=n^2+3n-63\\0=3n-63\\63=3n\\ 21=n.

If n is 21 then the next numbers are 22 and 23.

Match the given conditions to the number of triangles that can be constructed from them. The measures of two angles are 30 degre
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

One triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles being fixed at 30° and 60° cause the legs to be fixed.

For the 30° angle, one side is the given side of 12, the other side is at a fixed position.

The same goes for the 60° angle.  

So both missing legs of the triangle are at fixed angles.  The missing angle is 90° (if one is 30° and the other is 60°, then the last angle must add up to 180°, so it is 90°)

Since the last angle is also fixed, it means that there is only one way for the legs to intersect to cause a 90° angle, so there is only one triangle that can be formed

A high school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms a cost of $3000 after soccer season They return some of the uniforms
natita [175]
To calculate the price per uniform you have to divide $3000 by 40 uniforms, which equals $75. When some of the uniforms were returned the department received $40 per uniform. To calculate the difference you subtract $40 from $75, which equals $35.
