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

If m = 5 and n = -2, evaluate 3m - 4n and n2 - m and find the product of the two expressions.
ddd [48]

Hence the correct answer is C) -23

Further explanation:

We have to put the values of m and n into both expression first separately and then multiply the answers.

Given expressions are:

Exp\ 1:3m-4n\\Exp\ 2: n^2-m

The values are:

m=5\\n=-2

Putting the values in expression 1:

3m-4n\\=3(5)-4(-2)\\=15+8\\=23

Putting the values of m and n in second expression

n^2-m\\=(-2)^2-5\\=4-5\\=-1

Multiplying both expressions:

(3m-4n)(n^2-m)=23* (-1)=-23

Hence the correct answer is C) -23
