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.

How many ml of 20 percent acid should be added to pure acid to make 70 ml of 30 percent acid?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

61.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

How many ml of 20 percent acid should be added to pure acid

to make 70 ml of 30 percent acid?

:

let x = amt of 20% mixture

then

(70-x) = amt of pure acid

:

0.20x + (70-x) =0 .30(70)

0.20x + 70 - x = 21

= 21 - 70

-0.8x =-49

x = 61.25%

x = +61.25 ml of 20% stuff

How do you do this? (Not looking for answer, just how to do it)
Anit [1.1K]
All triangles add up to 180 degrees. Since sines can't be a negative, you need to add -130 to 180. The answer to this question would be sine 50 degrees.
