Answer:

7.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

This formula can be used to solve a side of any right (90°) triangle.

c² is the length of the hypotenuse (the diagonal side of the triangle, opposite to the 90° angle)

So, c = 32m.

Sides a and b are the legs of the triangle, but we only know one side. Plug numbers into the formula:

31² + b² = 32²

961 + b² = 1024 Subtract 961 from both sides to get b² by itself.

b² = 63

√b² = √63 Square root both sides to get b by itself.

b = 7.93725

Answer is 7.9 meters, rounded to tenths place

Answer:

$21\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add the numbers.

20.25 can also be expressed as $20\frac{1}{4}$ , because $\frac{2025}{100}$ = $\frac{81}{4}$ = $20\frac{1}{4}$ . So if we add $20\frac{1}{4}$ and 11, we would get $31\frac{1}{4}$

Step 2: Solve

$31\frac{1}{4} -9\frac{1}{2}$

Subtract the whole numbers

$31-9=21$

Combine the fractions

This means addition. Also, since our denominators are not the same value, we have to find the LCM (Least Common Denominator): What do 2 and 4 have in common that they can divide themselves by? 4. We know this because 2 divided by 4 is 2, and 4 divided by 4 is 1, so they can both divide themselves by 4.

$\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$
