Answer: 8.1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It may help to draw it out but for this question you would have to use pythagoras' theorem.

The formula for the shorter side is a²=c²-b²

The height of this triangle is 4ft (b) and the hypotenuse (the diagonal that stretches from the top to the bottom) is 9ft (c).

When we put the numbers in the formula you get a²=9²-4²

9²=81

4²=16

a²=81-16

a²=65

Then because we want to find a on it's own you would have to square root 65 which is 8.1 (to the nearest tenth)

If a is a negative number, then a(1/a) is equal to -1. If a is a negative number and b is a negative number, then product ab is
Firdavs [7]

Both claims are false. In fact, a and \frac{1}{a} are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that

a \cdot \dfrac{1}{a} = 1 \quad\forall a \in \mathbb{R}

So, it doesn't matter if a is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,

(-2) \cdot \dfrac{1}{-2} = \dfrac{-2}{-2} = 1

Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:

  • (+) \cdot (+) = (+)
  • (+) \cdot (-) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (+) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (-) = (+)

So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.

Find FG<br> FGH= 49<br> GH=31
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

<h3>18</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram;

FGH = 49

GH = 31

Using the expression to get FG;

FG + GH = FGH

FG + 31 = 49

FG = 49-31

FG = 18

Hence the measure of FG is 18
