Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is just playing with the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 with a and b as legs and c as the hypotenuse.

Let's say a is equal to 1500 so then c is 4 times b

1500^2 + b^2 = (4b)^2  Now we just treat this like a normal algebraic expression

2,250,000 = 16b^2 - b^2

2,250,000 = 15b^2

150,000 = b^2

sqrt(150,000) = b

100sqrt(15) = b

You can check this now.

1500^2 + sqrt(150,000)^2 = c^2

sqrt(2,250,000 + 150,000) = c

sqrt(2,400,000) = c

400sqrt(15) = c Which fits the requirement of c = 4b

Which shows a set of figures that always possesses all these attributes?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Four right angles eliminates trapezoids.

Four right angles also eliminates any triangle

General quadrilaterals should be eliminated by the 4 right angles. If they have 4 right angles, the figure is not a general quadrilateral.

The answer is rectangles and squares.

Sauron [17]
Since these 2 events are independent , the probability of them both occurring is obtained by multiplying them

P(rain on Wed and Sat) =0.30* 0.60 = 0.18
