Answer:

10\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of any square with side length s is equal to s\sqrt{2}. Since the side length of the square is 10, the diagonal must be \boxed{10\sqrt{2}}.

To support and prove this:

The diagonal creates two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both of these triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in any triangle, the sum of the squares of both legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (a^2+b^2=c^2).

Call the diagonal d. In these two triangles, both legs are equal to 10 (the side lengths of the square), and the hypotenuse is the diagonal. Thus, we have:

10^2+10^2=d^2,\\100+100=d^2,\\d^2=200,\\d=\sqrt{200}=\sqrt{100}\cdot \sqrt{2}=\boxed{10\sqrt{2}}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The side making up the top triangle is also 10.

a^2 + b^2 = x^2             Pythagoras

Givens

a = b                              Property of a square

a = 10

b = 10

Solution

10^2 + 10^2 = x^2

100 + 100 = x^2

x^2 = 200

x^2 = 2 * 100

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(2 * 100)

x = 10*sqrt(2)

A rental truck cost $48 plus $0.40 per mile.
Natalija [7]
(a) If we let x be the number of miles and y be the total cost, the equation for relating the number of miles and the total cost would be,
                                y = 0.4x + 48

(b) If the rental cost is 60,
                               60 = 0.4x + 48
The value of x from the equation is 30.

(c) You may prepare the table of values by allowing x be any number and then solve for y until we arrive with an answer for y being equal to 60.

Compute the amount of interest earned in the following simple interest problem.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $295

r =7%

t = 270 days = 270/365

Interest = Prt

=295*\frac{7}{100}*\frac{270}{365}\\\\= 15.28

= $ 15.28

Amount  = 295 + 15.28

Amount = $310.28

The corner market sells potatoes at a rate of 1/2 dollars per potato.
inn [45]

Answer:

<em>The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The potatoes are sold at a rate of $0.5 per potato.

1. Given Amanda can only spend $5 on potatoes at that price, she can buy at most $5 / 0.5 = 10 potatoes.

Amanda can buy at most 10 potatoes

2. Sam wants to buy 15 potatoes at that very same price. The cost of 15 potatoes is:

15 * $0.5 = $7.50

The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50
