A pythagoras triplet is a set of three numbers ... not just any three numbers,
but a set where the (square of one of them) is the sum of the (squares of the
other two).
If they're related in that way, then they can be the lengths of the sides of a
right triangle.
If they're not, then they can't.
Answer:
32 gallons of water
Step-by-step explanation:
8 minutes = 480 seconds.
set up a proportion:
1/15=x/480
we have to solve for x:
15x=480
x=32.
Jess uses 32 gallons of water.
I'm going to assume that the ' 7.51 ' is the angle expressed in radians.
So this is just like any other unit conversion exercise.
You know that 180 degrees = pi radians.
Divide each side by pi radians, and you have
180 degrees / pi radians = 1 .
Great ! Now take the angle you have ... 7.51 radians ...
and multiply it by ' 1 '.
(7.51 radians) x (180 degrees / pi radians) =
<em> </em> (7.51 x 180 / pi) degrees =<em> 430.29 degrees</em>
As you ( I ) worked through this problem, a very useful number
fell out . . . It's 180/pi = 57.296 , or just <em>57.3</em> is close enough.
Here's how you can use that number:
-- 1 radian = <u>57.3</u> degrees
-- 1 degree = 1/57.3 of a radian
-- Got some radians ? Multiply by <u>57.3</u> to get degrees.
-- Got some degrees ? Divide by <u>57.3</u> to get radians.
