Answer:

a = 8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2+5^2 = 10^2

a^2 +25 = 100

a^2 = 100-25

a^2 = 75

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) =sqrt(75)

a =8.660254038

Rounding to the nearest tenth

a = 8.7

Answer:

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 5^2 = 10^2

a^2 + 25 = 100

100 - 25 = a^2

a^2 = 75

sqrt rt 75 = 8.7

if there are 2040 seats in a section of a stadium, 20 seats in the first row, and 4 more seats in each row, how many rows are th

Lorico [155]

2040 = n/2(20+(n-1)4)

4080 = n(20+4n-4)

4080= 20n +4n^2 -4n

1020 = 4n + n^2

n^2 +4n -1020 =0

use common formula (can't write out so just look at answers. sorry)

which gives answers of n=-34 and n=30. since n can only be positive, n=30 so there are 30 rows. I liked that challenge

Check the picture below.

now, the midsegment of a triangle, besides being half the base, we have to bear in mind that is a "mid" segment, is a segment that lies half-way along the segments it touches.

so for the triangle above, well, the midsegment DE is cutting the segment BC it two equal halves, BE and EC, that means that $\stackrel{x}{BE}~~ = ~~\stackrel{8}{EC}$ .
