pythagorean theorem says legs a and b and hypotenuse c of a right triangle are related via the equation c²=a²+b². in other words, adding the sum of the squares of the legs get you the square of the hypotenuse
if the hypotenuse is 4 meters long, c = 4.
if one leg is 3 meters long, we can choose either a or b to be 3. it does not really matter. let us choose a = 3. now we have to find b.
if we have c²=a²+b², we can solve for b.
subtract a² both sides to get c²-a²=b², and then square root both sides to get
b = √(c²-a²)
plugging in our info we get
b = √(4²-3²) = √(16 -9) = √7
so the answer is √7 meters for 22

two triangles are similar, then the proportion of their sides are the same. the propotion between the smaller triangles' hypotenuse and 2cm leg is 5cm/3cm.
notice how the bigger triangle just have a doubled hypotenuse. therefore, the bigger triangle's x and y are just the corresponding smaller triangle values doubled.
x = 6 and y = 8
Answer:
36 erasers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of erasers be e
let number of rulers be r
We can write:
e + r = 70
and
After giving away, he has
Erasers: 2/3e
Rulers: r - 10
These two are equal, so we can write and solve:
2/3e = r - 10
2/3e + 10 = r
Putting this in initial equation, we have:
e + (2/3e + 10) = 70
5/3e + 10 = 70
5/3 e = 60
e = 36
And rulers is:
r = 2/3(36) + 10 = 34
Hence, he had 36 erasers in the beginning
Answer:
A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. So a parallelograms are also trapezoids.
If you were going to multiply those two numbers, the answer would be D, 192.
