Answer:

The length of the other leg will be = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use your Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of the other leg.

Hypotenuse^2=a^2+b^2

since you are given the length of the hypotenuse and one leg you can change the formula to:

b^2 = h^2 - a^2

b = √h^2-a^2

b=√5^2-3^2

b=√25-9

b=√16

b=4

(1/2)/(2/3) evaluate

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common denominator for the 2 denominators: 6
Change the fractions: 2 × 3 = 6, 1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 2 = 6, 2 × 2 = 4
Re-write the fractions: $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{6}$
Write as an expression: $\frac{3}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{4}{6}$
$\frac{3}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{4}{6}$ = $\frac{3}{6}$ × $\frac{6}{4}$
$\frac{3}{6}$ × $\frac{6}{4} = \frac{18}{24}$
$\frac{18}{24} = \frac{3}{4}$

I hope this helps!
