Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to determine an unknown side of a right triangle when two sides are known.

It states that a^2+b^2=c^2.

This is where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.

If you're unclear on this, you can draw a diagram to help you visualize it.

Hence, we can plug the given information into this formula.

a^2+8^2=(√73)^2

Simplify.

a^2+64=73

Subtract 64 from both sides.

a^2+64-64=73-64

a^2=9

Find the square root of both sides.

a=3

The length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 3 units.

Alicia buys a fish tank. The dimensions of the fish tank are 80 cm x 35cm x 40cm. Alicia fills the tank with water to 4/5 of the

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: 89.6 kg of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total volume of the tank:

(80cm)*(35cm)*(40cm) = 112,000 cm^3

4/5 of this would be 89,600 cm^3

Water has a mass of 1 gram/cm^3

(1 gram/cm^3)*(89,600 cm^3) = 89,600 g of water

(89,600 g)*(1 kg/1,000 g) = 89.6 kg of water

a sixth grade class has 12 boys and 24 girls consider this statement: <br />for every two boys there are 4 girls do you ag

Nitella [24]

So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.

$\bf \cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 12:24\qquad \cfrac{12}{24}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 2:4\qquad \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.

then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.

HELP PLEASE NEED THIS DONE ASAP

Answer:

I did learn this before I'm not sure, but I think the answer is X x 10 = Y because on the chart for example X= 1 and Y= 10 so whatever number is on Y is basically X multiplied by 10. I hope this helps!
