Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is hypotenuse and a and b are the legs

we need to find a^2 so

a^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

a^22 + 256 = 400

then subtract 256 from 400

a^2 = 144

square root 144

= 12

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 66. What is the smallest of these numbers?
ahrayia [7]
Your answer would be 22 because it says <em>"sum"</em> which means <u>add.</u> Then it says "<em>of three consecutive <u>even</u> numbers</em>" which means you're going to be adding <u>three</u> of the <em>same <u>even</u> number </em>to get 66. 22 is an <u>even</u> number, so let's try it out: 22 + 22 + 22 = 66. (You can also divide 66 by 3.) 22 is the cOrrect answer.

Hope this helps,

Estimate the area of Alberta in square miles. Show your reasoning
ella [17]

Answer:  About 278,250\ mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

Notice in the first picture that Alberta has a complex shape.

You can calculate the area of a complex shape by decomposing it into polygons whose areas can be calculated easily.

Observe the second picture. Notice that it can be descompose into two polygons: A trapezoid and a rectangle.

The area of the trapezoid  can be calcualted with the formula:

A_t=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where "h" is the height, "B" is the long base and "b" is short base.

And the area of the rectangle can be found with the formula:

 A_r=lw

Wkere "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, the apprximate area of Alberta is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)+lw

Substituting vallues, you get:

A=(\frac{(410\ mi-180\ mi)}{2})(760\ mi+470\ mi)+(180\ mi)(760\ im)\\\\A=141,450\ mi^2+136,800\ mi^2\\\\A=278,250\ mi^2

Therefore, the area of of Alberta is about 278,250\ mi^2.
