that's just an example. what it equals to can be anything really
What are the options they have given?
If the two sides with length 3 and 4 are the two legs, then the missing side, i.e. the hypotenuse, is indeed 5.
But it could also be the case that 4 is the hypotenuse and 3 is one of the legs. In this case, the missing side is the other leg, so we calculate it using
So, a right triangle with legs 
and 3 has an hypotenuse of 4.
Answer:
3 3/5 + 1 1/4 = <u>4 17/20</u>
7/8 + 1/12 =<u> 23/24</u>
8/9 - 2/5 = <u>22/45</u>
5 1/4 - 2 2/3 = <u>2 7/12</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
3 3/5 + 1 1/4
First convert into improper fractions
= 18/5 + 5/4
Now find the common denominator
72/20 + 25/20 =
97/20
Now simplify
4 17/20
<u>Next problem:</u>
7/8 + 1/12
find the common denominator
21/24 + 2/24 =
23/24
<u>Next problem:</u>
8/9 - 2/5
find the common denominator
40/45 - 18/45 =
22/45
<u>Next problem:</u>
5 1/4 - 2 2/3
First convert into improper fractions
21/4 - 8/3
find the common denominator
63/12 - 32/12 =
31/12
Now simplify
2 7/12
