As <u>altavistard</u> states: B). 12 cm is the correct answer.

Delvig [45]3 years ago

Answer:

2 cm (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, and therefore the Pythagorean Theorem applies:

(shorter leg)² + (longer leg)² = (hypotenuse)²

In this case, (longer leg)² = (hypotenuse)² - (shorter leg)², or

(longer leg)² = (13 cm)² - (5 cm)², or:

(longer leg)² = 169 cm² - (25 cm²) = 144 cm²

The length of the longer leg is the square root of 144 cm², or 12 cm (Answer B)

Sellus Evaluate the expression when m=25. m + 2(m-5) = [?]​
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

m+2(m-5)

And we want to evaluate it for m=25.

So, substitute 25 for m:

=(25)+2((25)-5)

Subtract:

=25+2(20)

Multiply:

=25+40

Add:

=65

So, our answer is 65.

And we're done!

Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. How many gallons can Joe's tank hold?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. Now we need to find about how many gallons can Joe's tank hold.

So let's find change that happened after filling the gas.

Change = (5/8 full) - (1/4 full)

Change = (5/8 - 1/4)  full

Change = (5/8 - 2/8)  full

Change = (5 - 2)/8  full

Change = 3/8  full

So that means 3/8 full happens in 6 gallons

then 1 full will happen in 6/(3/8) gallons = 6*(8/3) gallons = 48/3 gallons = 16 gallons

So the amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Carl used 10 2/9 an inch of string to tie a parcel and another 5 1/4 of an inch of string to tie a box, how much string is left
NARA [144]

Answer:

20-(10 2/9)-(5 1/4)= 4.52777777778 inches decimal or 163/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

20 - (10 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

Put 10 + 2/9 over the common denominator 9. 10 + 2/9 = (9×10)/9 + 2/9:

20 - (9×10)/9 + 2/9 - (5 + 1/4)

9×10 = 90:

20 - (90/9 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

90/9 + 2/9 = (90 + 2)/9:

20 - (90 + 2)/9 - (5 + 1/4)

90 + 2 = 92:

20 - 92/9 - (5 + 1/4)

Put 5 + 1/4 over the common denominator 4. 5 + 1/4 = (4×5)/4 + 1/4:

20 - 92/9 - (4×5)/4 + 1/4

4×5 = 20:

20 - 92/9 - (20/4 + 1/4)

20/4 + 1/4 = (20 + 1)/4:

20 - 92/9 - (20 + 1)/4

20 + 1 = 21:

20 - 92/9 - 21/4

Put 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 over the common denominator 36. 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 = (36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36:

(36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36

720/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36

4 (-92) = -368:

720/36 + (-368)/36 + (9 (-21))/36

9 (-21) = -189:

720/36 - 368/36 + (-189)/36

720/36 - 368/36 - 189/36 = (720 - 368 - 189)/36:

(720 - 368 - 189)/36

720 - 368 - 189 = 720 - (368 + 189):

(720 - (368 + 189))/36
