Using pythag a^2+b^2=16^2
16^2=256
and since a=b the equation is 2x^2=256
/ each side by 2
x^2=128
x=sq rt of 128=11.31 roughly

Pretend you have a sibling who is two years younger than you. He/she hears you working on triangle similarity and wants to know

taurus [48]

Two triangles are similar if they are the same, except one is bigger and one is smaller. Also, their angles are all the same. A career that uses similar triangles could be a mathematician, or a math teacher. Both of these need to be able to understand simple concepts like similar triangles to teach to their victims.

You sell instruments at a Caribbean music festival. You earn $326 by selling 12 sets of maracas, 6 sets of claves, and x

LenKa [72]

From the given photograph in the problem above, the cost of each macaras is $14, each set of clave cost $5. Lastly, each djembe drum costs $16. If we let x be the number of djembe drum sold, our equation would be,
326 = 12(14) + 6(5) + x(16)
Simplifying the right side of the equation,
326 = 198 + 16x
