The square root of 81 is 9
For this problem, you would use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
A and B are the length and width of the triangle. The triangle is created by the diagonal line splitting the computer screen. C is the hypotenuse, which is the diagonal line, and will always be the longest side of the triangle.
When we plug in the numbers into the formula, we would get this:
13^2 + b^2 = 15^2
B is the unknown variable in which we are trying to find.
First, you square 13 and 15:
169 + b^2 = 225
Then, subtract 169 from both sides:
b^2 = 56
Finally, find the square root of both sides:
b = 7.483314774
Simplify to the nearest tenth, and the answer is 7.5<span />
Miles. You would measure it in miles because youre trying to figure out how many miles she rode for a certain amount of time.
In 60 minutes, the machine can sew 300 buttons. The machine sews 5 buttons a minute. 60 x 5 = 300
