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.

2 and 4 seemed really confusing , please help :(
artcher [175]
2. This question is basically asking you to factor 6x² - x - 12, so that one bracket is (2x - 3) and the other bracket is your answer. If you do factor 6x² - x - 12, you get (2x - 3)(3x + 4), so your answer would be J. 3x + 4.

4. Again you are factoring, so you would get your answer as (x + 3)(x - 2), which is answer F.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to show you how I factored :)
