Answer:

10cm ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

This would use the Pythagorean Theorem. That means it would be -

a^2_b^2= c^2, in this case, you have 2 of your legs already so those two values would be a&b. you would stick those two into the equation and it should look like this:

6^2+8^2=c^2

then 36+64=c

and then 100=c

after that, you would take the square root of c to get

10!

Answer:

10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse^{2} = base^{2} + altitude^{2}

The hypotenuse can be taken as 'x'. As given in the question, the length of base is 8cm and the altitude is 6cm. So substituting these in the equation, we get:-

Hypotenuse^{2}  = 8^{2} + 6^{2}

Hypotenuse^{2} = 64 + 36

Hypotenuse^{2}  = 100

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{100}

Hypotenuse equals 10cm!

What is the largest digit N for which 2345N is divisible by 6?
kotegsom [21]
Consider this option (this is not the only way):
1. according to the condition 2345N is divisible by <em>6</em>, it means, that N is even number (0;2;4;6 or 8).
2. <em>6</em>=3*2, then the number 2345N is divisible by 3 also. It means, that the number (2+3+4+5+N)=(14+N) is divisible by 3, where N={0|2|4|6|8}.
3. using items 1 and 2:
(14+4)=18; only 18 is divided by 3, it means that N=4.

answer: 4.

Note also, that only 23451; 23454 and 23457 are divided by 3. Only 2345<u>4</u> is divided by 6 (2345<u>4</u>/6=3909).

Help me with this please everyone
cupoosta [38]
First, let's simplify each expression by combining like terms:

A: 9x-3x-4 = 6x-4

B: 12x-4 = 12x-4 (Already Combined terms)

C: 5x+x-4 = 6x-4

When looking at the list of equations, it is clear that only Expression A and C are equivalent. Brianna failed to combine like terms and plug in more points than 0. 

I Hope this Helps!

8 5x=-2 whats the value of the variable?
wlad13 [49]
In order to get the value of x you have to set x by itself subtract from both sides because the only way to get rid of a positve its with a negative now you have 5x=6, now divide 5 from both sides because the only way to get rid of a multiplication is with a division, this will give you the final answer of x=6/5

Hope this helps
