Pythagorean theorem to find the side of 16 20

Mathematics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Although you have not included which value is the hypotenuse or if they are legs, I will assume the hypotenuse is 20, due to the triangle appearing to be a multiple of the standard 3-4-5 triangle.</em>

The pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.  Thus, plug in the values to get:

16^2+b^2=20^2

256+b^2=400

b^2=144

b=12

What is -3x+13=16 help me with each step.
hoa [83]

-3x+13=16

Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.

-3x+13-13=16-13

-3x=16-13

-3x=3

Divide by -3 for both sides.

-3/-3x=3/-3

Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x

x=-1

Answer: x=-1

Does the decimal equivalent of p/q, where p and q are positive integers, contain only a finite number of nonzero digits?
Aleks [24]

A/B is a reduced fraction which can be represented as a terminating decimal if and only b is of the form 2^n5^n where m and n are non negative integers. For example: 7/250, the terminating decimal here is 0.028 as 250 as the denominator equals to 2*5^2.

According to the above, we must know whether the denominator have only 2-s and or 5-s as the prime factors. So,

Q = 8 = 2 ^3 = hence the denominator has only 2 prime factors. Fraction P/Q will be termed as terminated decimal which is sufficient.
