We're given the hypotenuse and one side and we're looking for the missing side so use pythagorean.

20² - 16² = 144²

Square root of 144 = 12 feet

\huge \purple{\tt{Answer:}}

(AB)^2 = (AC)^2 - (BC)^2 \\\\\ \implies (AB)^2 = (20)^2 - (16)^2 \\\\\ \implies AB^2 = 400-256 \\\\\ \implies AB^2 = 144 \\\\\ AB = {\sqrt{144}} \\\\\ \implies AB=12 ~feet

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Option 1) p ←→ q

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is a combination of two phrases with a connective word.

Phrase 1 - The Fratellis will be arrested.

We consider this phrase as phrase p.

Phrase 2 - If the police believe chunk.

Phrase q.

Now these statements p and q are connected with a connecting word "If only and only".

When two phrases are connected by the connecting words "Only and only if", this connecting word is called as biconditional operator.

p (connecting word) q

p ( If and only if) q

p ←→ q

Therefore, Option 1) p ←→ q is the answer.
