Because this is a triangle and we know that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse we just plug in the numbers. But because you have the hypotenuse already you will subtract the leg from the hypotenuse.

A^2+B^2=C^
16^2+B^2=20^2
256+B^2=400 subtract 256 from both sides
B^2=144 now take the square root of both sides
B=12

The second leg is 12 cm long. Your answer is B, the second answer.

Jet001 [13]
\begin{gathered} \text{Car A travels 308 miles on 11 gallons, so, the ratio of miles per galon is} \\ \frac{308}{11}=28\text{ miles per gallon} \\  \\ \text{for the car B, the ratio is} \\ \frac{406}{14}=29\text{ miles per gallon} \end{gathered}

thus, the best car is car B,because it can tavel 29 miles with only one gallon,andcar A can only travel 28 miles with one gallon.

Mark and Jen me at the beach yesterday July 31. Might go to the beach every third day in Django ceviche before three. How many t
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The number times both Mark and Jen will be at the beach on the same day over the next 30 days is 10 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every third day implies that they both go the beach and then have a two day break, and then go the beach on the day after.

Put simply, every third day implies one day in three days.

Based on the above, the number times both Mark and Jen will be at the beach on the same day over the next 30 days can be calculated by dividing 30 by 3 as follows:

Number times both Mark and Jen will be at the beach = 30 / 3 = 10

Therefore, the number times both Mark and Jen will be at the beach on the same day over the next 30 days is 10 times.

If sammmy has 5 alligators biting and each have 100 hunred teeth how many bite marks would he have?
posledela
Hello!

We are given that each of the 5 alligators has 100 teeth. We can use the following equation to find the total number of teeth and, by extension, the total number of bite marks:

(100 teeth) × (5 alligators) = 500 teeth

We have now proven that the 5 alligators have a combined total of 500 teeth. Consequently, Sammy will have 500 bite marks.

I hope this helps!
