Answer:

The tree grew 15/64 meters per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of a tree = 3/4 meters

Total time taken by the tree to grow 3/4 taller = 3 1/5 or 16/5 years

To determine

Per year growth of the tree in meters

Per year growth of the tree in meters can be determined by dividing the total length of a tree i.e. 3/4 meters by the total time taken by the tree to get 3/4 taller.

Per year growth of tree = Total Length / Total time to grow

= 3/4 ÷ 16/5

= 3/4 × 5/16

= [3×5] / [4×16]

= 15/64 meters

Therefore, the tree grew 15/64 meters per year.

A right triangle has legs of lengths 9 cm and 12 cm. calculate the length of the hypotenuse?

just olya [345]

Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.

Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because $c= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}$ . This works, but it is slow.

The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.
