Answer:

20km

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find c, which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

we know the lengths of the legs, which are given as 16km and 12km

you might notice that 16km and 12km can both be divided by 4, which will then give is 4 and 3.

3,4,5 is a pythagorean triple-(the sums of the squares of 3 and 4 is equal to the square of 5).

The triple can be proved:

3²+4²=5²

9+16=25

25=25

that means the lengths of the triangle is a multiple of the triple 3, 4, and 5

so that means that c is 5*something

since 12 and 16 are 3*4 and 4*4 respectively, that means that c must be 5*4=20km

Hope this helps!

Max built a rectangular Prism and a rectangular Pyramid using beach sand. The prism and the pyramid have the same base area and

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Three times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Figures: Rectangular Prism and Rectangular Pyramid

Let the dimension of the prism be:

$l = length$

$w = width$

$h = height$

Amount of sand used is the volume (V1) and it is calculated using;

$V_1 = l * w * h$

$V_1 = lw h$

Since the pyramid has the same base area and height as the prism, the its dimension would be:

$l = length$

$w = width$

$h = height$

Amount of sand used is the volume (V2) and it is calculated using;

$V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)$

So, we have:

$V_1 = lw h$

$V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)$

Substitute lwh for V1 in the second equation

$V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3 * V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1 * 3$

$3 * V_2 = V_1$

Reorder

$V_1 = 3 * V_2$

$V_1 = 3 V_2$

<em>Hence, the amount of sand used in building the prism is three times the amount of sand used in building the pyramid</em>

will the opposite of a number always,sometimes,or never be greater than the number itself??????? can someone do an example and a

weeeeeb [17]

When the number is positive, its opposite is less than the number.

9 ==> -9 . . . . . . less
72 ==> -72 . . . . less
324 ==> -324 . . less

When the number is negative, its opposite is greater than the number.

-8 ==> 8 . . . . . . greater
-3/4 ==> 3/4 . . . greater
-429 ==> 429 . . greater .

We've seen that the opposite can be less, and it can also be greater.
I guess that means that it's sometimes greater.
