Answer:

16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle, a²+b²=c², where a and b are leg lengths, and c is the hypotenuse. Given one leg length and the hypotenuse, we can find the other leg length by plugging in our given information:

a²+b²=c²

12²+b²=20²

144+b²=400

b²=256

b=16

Therefore, the missing leg length is 16 units.

Answer:
equation is: width = area / length
width = 62.5 yd

Explanation:
For the first rectangle:
We have:
length = 75 yd and width = 60 yd
Therefore:
area = length * width 
area = 75 * 60
area = 4500 yd²

For the second rectangle:
We have:
area = area of first rectangle = 4500 yd²
length = 72 yd
area = length * width
width = area / length ............> The required equation
width = 4500 / 72
width = 62.5 yd

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Based on expert opinion the regression does not suffer from omitted variable bias

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Based on expert opinion the regression does not suffer from omitted variable bias </em>because its indicators taking values of 1 and 0 where 1 would represent taking action by the legal system  and 0 would represent not taking action by the legal system. as

The researcher plans to regress national income per capita based on the effect of the legal system

Simon says "five time my age 4 years ago is the same as three time my age in 2 years" how old is simon
omeli [17]

Simon is 13 years old

Let x be Simon's age

Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)

Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)

distributing both sides gives

5x-20 = 3x + 6

subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

5x - 3x - 20 = 6

2x - 20 = 6

add 20 to both sides

2x = 6 + 20 = 26

divide both sides by 2

x = \frac{26}{2} = 13

Simon is 13 years old
